I am new here, I joined for a bit of research and possibly posting a thread relating to my research (The Voice in Horror films) - but my background is theory/philosophy. I'd just like to say that a would be very excited to have a thread devoted to the more theoretical side of horror.
With regards to journals - I think journals always need someone with good expertise, be it literary theory, film theory, philosophy, cultural studies, psychology, psychoanalysis etc - all of these can be applied to horror but I think you will have more luck getting published if you start by analysing horror from one of the above subjects positions. And then find a journal of that topic that has an issue devoted to aligning themes.

Welcome to the board =). I'll be posting stuff in a few days on the Contributor's Corner section, since I'm writing a thesis paper on horror myself.
I take gender theory and archetypes into consideration most often when I'm writing, but I supplement my views with many of those ideologies. On the worth of a journal, I remember my secondary ed professor saying that the study of education is the bridging of ideas, uncovering the mysteries that lie between. So, I'm kinda scatter-brained and don't stick to single ideologies, sometimes confusing my readers =/. Doesn't mean I don't love deciphering the delicious mysteries between the lines ^^ I'd love to read your works once we have everything set up =) Do you mean the voice of the victims, victimizers, diegetic voices, audience, or something different?

Hi Merrcury - I'll update my signature with my blogs, that way you can browse my theory writings. I haven't addressed Horror explicitly just yet - but intend to do so. Hence research here. Horror is a fertile area to explore cultural manifestations concerning questions of Gender Theory. I know a lot of great theoretical writings on Horror as I've always been interested in Philosophy/Theory and Horror. I would recommend you check out an essay on Romeros Martin re vampire as PM tool of exploring gender roles - it is in incognitum hactenus vol 2 - I think...
I am interested in how presence and corporeality/physicality relate to voice in horror films. So particular tropes such as: 1 - spectral voices, godly ubiquity (acousmatic - see Chion) e.g. Candyman, Wizard of Oz 2 - dislocated voices (possession, ventriloquism) e.g Regan in The Exorcist, Magic, Dead of Night, 3 - Instances where voice vanishes to signify a change, especially instances that amplify the guttural bodily voice - e.g the dopplegangers in HHoH ep 12 The Two Faces of Evil My first goal is to build up examples of these, so really I'd just be happy to get a few recommendations of scary voices/ uncanny voices in film scenes. As an aside - I recently posted this on laughter: http://vocalitiesavc.blogspot.co.uk/...-laughter.html It's a course blog so I try to keep it light and just pop a few questions and musings up. Sorry - don't mean to de-rail this thread. I'll post my new thread on Voice (if no one objects, I've done searches) in the new few days.
