Sinemada Korkunun Verdiği Hazzın Yüce Kavramı ile Açıklanması ve Antonio Margheriti’nin Danza Macabra (1964) Filmi
Analysing the Pleasure of Horror in Cinema with the Concept of ‘Sublime’ and Antonio Margheriti’s Danza Macabra (1964)

Summary/Abstract: Especially horror movies, there may be images that directly cause the feeling of fear, but this feeling of fear may not be only in a single image, scene or sequence. Images and audio cinematic elements that can’t produce ‘negative’ feelings by itself can also become frightening with various cinematographic techniques. No matter how it is produced, the audience watch fearful moments in movies with an aesthetic demand for pleasure. Within the scope of this study, I will use the concept of ‘supreme’ for analysing the negativefeelings of fear, horror and pain caused by the movies. I will discuss the concept of the supreme by taking advantage of Burke and Kant’s approaches. I believe it provides a suitable framework to examine this aesthetic pleasure. At the same time, I will also discuss a film’s ability to create sublime effect using cinematic elements. In this study, I will carry out all these discussions through the analysis of the Italian director Antonio Margheriti’s Danza Macabra (1964) movie.
