ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses specifically on Spain, where the genre has gained a new interest in the last few years, particularly around three concrete thematic axes: the living dead, natural catastrophes, and haunted houses. It discusses the real estate bubble from a different perspective; that is, from the perspective of the people who suffered it, on their televisions and in their theaters while it was inflating and after it burst, when it had already become converted with barely any notice into the natural account of the catastrophe. The campsite model as a symbolic axis of the "permanent war" scenario, as an emblem of the state of exception that it proposes and evades, is quite telling in this respect. The campsite is not relevant because it supposes, or intends to suppose, a reproduction on the scale of a possible other world realized within its limits.
