NEW ESSAY: TV HORROR REBOOTS
Dr. Scahill contributes a chapter to the new edited collection Cycles, Sequels, Spin-offs, Remakes, and Reboots: Multiplicities in Film and Television from University of Texas Press. The collection takes a serious look at textual plurality and the processes of reiteration to elucidate their importance for audiences, industrial practices, and popular culture. Dr. Scahill's contribution, "Serialized Killers: Prebooting Horror in Bates Motel and Hannibal," asks what happens when familiar horror films are given an origin reboot in a serialized television format.
