Essays on Film’s Frightening Images of Aging

Capa do Van Riper A. Bowdoin Van Riper & Miller Cynthia J. Miller: Elder Horror (ePUB)

As baby boomers gray, cinematic depictions of aging and the aged are on the rise. In the horror genre, fears of growing old take on fantastic proportions. Elderly characters are portrayed as either eccentric harbingers of doom–the crone who stops at nothing to restore her youth, the ancient ancestor who haunts the living–or as frail victims. This collection of new essays explores how various filmic portrayals of aging, as an inescapable horror destined to overtake us all, reflect our complex attitudes toward growing old, along with its social, psychological and economic consequences.
