Abstract
The
uncanny
is
an
essay
by
Sigmund
Freud
that
describes
how a
specific
type
of
fear
functions
in
horror
literature
.
Freud
defines
how the
sensation
of the
uncanny
results
from a
specific
event
where
one's
repressed
memories
or
emotions
,
which
have been
relegated
to the
individual's
subconscious
mind
,
suddenly
emerge
. This
causes
simultaneous
feelings
of
familiarity
and
unfamiliarity
in
relation
to the
object
of the
individual's
fear
. This
intense
emotional
experience
of
uncanny
dread
is
the
result
of the
return
of a
suppressed
aspect
of the
self
.
It
is
essentially
a "
horror
of the
self
"
where
the
character
experiences
fear
that
is
derived
from the
recesses
of his
own
psyche
. The
conflicts
in these
cerebral
works
center
of the
internal
confrontations
between
the
protagonists
and the
formerly
concealed
aspects
of
themselves
.
Two
of the
most
prominent
figures
of
American
horror
literature
who
utilized
this
form
of
horror
include
19th
century
author
Edgar
Allan
Poe
and his
20th
century
successor
,
H.P
.
Lovecraft
.
