In this volume, contributors explore the deep ideological polarization in US society as portrayed in horror narratives and tropes. By navigating this polarized society in their representation of social values, twenty[1]first-century horror films critically frame and engage conflicting and divisive ideological issues.  Culture Wars and Horror Movies: Social Fears and Ideology in Post-2010 Horror Cinema  analyses the ways in which these "culture wars" make their way into and through contemporary horror films, focusing on the post-2010 US context and its fundamental political divisions.
