Abstract
This edited collection speaks to how a transnational array of recent screen entertainments participate, through horror, in the social and creative work of transforming 'the past into a meaningful and sense-bearing part of the present' (Rusen 2006: 17). It is motivated by the recognition that twenty-first -century film and television narrative has been characterized by a growing, popular engagement with history, memory and the past - including a worldwide movement to reconcile past losses and injuries with present legacies.
