'Welcome to the first issue of Studies in Australasian Cinema for 2017.
'This issue comprises three articles that form a special section on horror themed films, edited by Mark Ryan and Ben Goldsmith, which have developed from their editorial work last year on papers from the conference of the Screen Studies Association of Australia and New Zealand. Taken together, both Buerger’s and Balenzatugui’s varied readings of The Babadook, and Speed’s timely revisiting of White Death, constitute the Australasian screen’s role in marking an unsettled period in contemporary culture.
'As always, please enjoy this issue of Studies in Australasian Cinema.' (Anthony Lambert Journal editor’s note)
