Nesta tese, busca-se lançar um olhar ao tema, direcionando o trabalho para as narrativas jornalísticas usadas como referencial para cineastas, que transformam em narrativa audiovisual a representação da realidade de uma história que ganhou as páginas dos jornais ou de um livro-reportagem. O foco da pesquisa é no cinema de horror, que costuma não apenas valer-se deste material, como também se utilizar do vínculo com a não ficção como estratégia para atrair o espectador com a promessa da reprodução de um "caso verídico". Parte- se, pois, da hipótese de que a frase "baseado em uma história real" no início da película funciona como estímulo da curiosidade do espectador. Para o presente estudo, optou-se pelo clássico Horror em Amityville (The Amityville Horror, 1979), adaptado do livro-reportagem homônimo de Jay Anson, de 1977, que ganhou uma nova edição no Brasil neste ano, pela Darkside. O remake de 2005, cujo título é o mesmo, também faz parte da pesquisa. Como corpus de análise, também serão utilizadas reportagens do jornal Newsday, de Long Island, do período em que a história da casa supostamente mal-assombrada foi destaque e do crime que teria dado início à história de assombração. O objetivo desta pesquisa é analisar como se dá o entrelaçamento de narrativas jornalísticas, jornalístico- literária e cinema...

In this thesis, the aim is to take a look at the theme, to direct the work to narrate the news narratives as a reference for the filmmakers, who transform the audiovisual narrative into a presentation of the reality of a winning story as pages of a book or a book - reporting. The focus of the research is horror film, which is not only a didactic material, but also makes use of a link with a strategy to attract the viewer with the promise to replicate a true case. It is therefore hypothesized that the phrase "based on a true story" at the beginning of the film works as a stimulus for the spectator's curiosity. For the present study, we opted for the classic Amityville Horror (1979 and 2005), adapted from Jay Anson's eponymous book, which won a new edition in Brazil this year by Darkside. The remake of 2005, whose title is the same, is also part of the research. As a corpus of analysis, reports from the Newsday newspaper of Long Island will also be used for the period in which the story of the supposedly haunted house was highlighted and the crime that would have started the haunting story. The objective of this research is to analyze how the intertwining of journalistic, journalistic-literary and cinematographic narratives occurs, seeking in this work to point out how the process of translation from one medium to another was transformed...

Kelly Gangeness Le’s poetry manuscript focuses on paradoxical values concerning horror and humor paired with family and isolation. With the aesthetic approach that poetry ought to resemble the emotional intensity of music, Le strives for animated language. Her influences come from coarse, post-hardcore music and Lucie Brock-Broido’s scholarly yet brutal poetry. Thus she negotiates between lowbrow and literary dynamics.
