Risk perception has been a newer field of research for tourism scholars. The purpose of this paper is to add to this growing literature by examining how some horror movies play upon the discourses of risk, ethnocentrism, hospitality, and radicalised otherness as a part of their plot lines. In doing so, the authors discuss the literature on risk perception, the role of hospitality in risk perception, and the value of visual and content analysis of movies. Then, four horror movies are presented that include a number of discourses inherent in tourism, risk perception, and hospitality research.
