In the master's thesis named „Space in the Horror Franchise Night of the Living Dead,” space in George A. Romero's seminal horror franchise Night of the Living Dead is viewed through spatial theories of philosophers and literary critics Mikhail Bakhtin and Gaston Bachelard. The meaning of Bakhtin's chronotope of the road as a dynamic place where different people meet and the chronotope of the threshold that presents a transition between two places of different values can be noticed in the franchise. Bachelard's notions of the shelter provided by the house and a room, refuge offered by a corner, boundaries drawn by doors and windows, the rationality of the attic, and the irrationality of the cellar can also be identified. With the knowledge of Bachelard's view on space, other spaces can be described: an island as either a haven or an entrapment, and communal places and cities as resources of supplies or foci of the disease. Bakhtin and Bachelard's space theory can help us understand how directors use space in their films and what they can represent.
