Spanish Horror Film

Antonio Lázaro-Reboll is Senior Lecturer in Hispanic Studies at the University of Kent. He is author of several articles on Spanish horror cinema and is the co-editor of Spanish Popular Cinema (2004) and Cult Movies: The Cultural Politics of Oppositional Taste (2003).

"'Lazaro-Reboll's monograph is a timely addition to the growing field of Spanish Horror film. It complements other foundational works, mainly in Spanish, that have taken a more encyclopaedic approach... it will become essential reading for both academics working in Spanish horror and enthusiasts of Euro Horror. In its incorporation of discourses surrounding fandom and consumption, Spanish Horror Film demonstrates more widely how taste and critical processes behind genre classification have been fundamental to the creation of a horror tradition.'
