A Critical Review on the Book The Fantasy Film by Ali Khorashadi, Mohammad Shahba

“…One of the important theoretical issues about fantasy works is the confusion of such films with other works of cinema such as horror and science fiction. An accurate definition of the concept of fantasy is problematic; Therefore, considering the creation of brilliant works that carry the attribute of fantasy after the 21st century, and the audience's interest in these works in recent times, as well as the growth of cinematic technology, find specific frameworks to determine the characteristics of fantasy works and distinguish them from other similar works such as science-fiction and horror seem necessary. …”

The Mechanics of Fear: Organic Haunted Houses in American Cinema by Anne-Marie Paquet-Deyris

“…In this respect, even though a direct descendant of a more conventional haunted house film genre, the 1980s family horror imposes a reversal of viewpoints. It actually seems to be reverting to some more classical Hollywood narrative structures after the bloodbaths of the previous decade in horror feasts, such as The Hills Have Eyes (1977) or Dawn of the Dead (1978), which argued then for a new form of society. …”

Inference about the Tail of a Distribution: Improvementon the Hill Estimator by Jean Nuyts

“…This estimator is known to produce bad results in certain situations which have lead to the so-called Hill horror plots. In this brief note, we propose an improved estimator which is simple and coherent and often provides an efficient remedy in the bad situations, especially when the distribution is decreasing slowly, when the data is restricted by external cuts to lie within a finite domain, or even when the distribution is increasing.…”

Duplicate elimination algorithm for data streams with SKIP Bloom filter by Hai-na TANG, Xiao-la LIN, Chun-jing HAN

“…According to the dynamic characteristics of data streams,a duplicate elimination algorithm was proposed with low time complexity and high accuracy based on SKIP Bloom filter.A moving cursor and double Bloom filter were used to differentiate history data and current data mapping.Theoretically,it proves that the algorithm has the time complexity of O(n) and the false positive rate of O(1﹣(1﹣1/(2m))＜sup＞w·k＜/sup＞)＜sup＞k＜/sup＞.The experiment shows that the new SKIP Bloom filter improves the accuracy of 2～12 times in real networks compared with other existing algorithm.…”

Transformations of the Evil Forest in the Swedish Television Series Jordskott by Souch Irina

“…I discuss the effects in the series produced by the combination of the Nordic Noir's style and narrative techniques with elements of other genres, especially Gothic horror. I argue that through the contemporary reworking of the centuries-old Nordic mythology, Jordskott demonstrates how the aggressive powers of nature in Gothic narratives can no more be conventionally explained by referring to the pagan, pre-Christian beliefs, but need to be reconceived in light of the relentless environmental devastation brought about by humankind. …”
