In Household Horror: Cinematic Fear and the Secret Life of Everyday Objects, Marc Olivier highlights the wonder, fear, and terrifying dimension of objects in horror cinema.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eHousehold Horror\u003c\/i\u003e provides a lively and highly original contribution to horror studies. As a work on cinema, it introduces the reader to films that may be less well-known to casual fans and scholars; more conspicuously, it returns to horror staples, gleefully reanimating works that one might otherwise assume had been critically \"done to death\" (\u003ci\u003ePsycho, The Exorcist, The Shining\u003c\/i\u003e). The close readings of individual films provide sophisticated, nuanced and even startling insights.\"—Allan Cameron, University of Auckland\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart I: Kitchen\/Dining Room\u003cbr\u003e1.
