Résumé anglais The question as to why, towards the end of the XXth Century and the first decades of the XXIst, the literature and cinema of some South American countries, most notably Argentina and Chile, embraced the protocols of horror literature and associated genres such as the literature of the supernatural, weird literature and science fiction, can be better answered if we consider that supernatural and political horror were divorced in Gothic and Romantic literature, and henceforward followed different paths that at some points crossed, at others diverged, and sometimes even merged. From Hilario Ascasubi's poetry to Mariana Enriquez's narrative, Argentine artists have resorted to the supernatural every time political terror seemed to step out of the realms of the rational and even the human.
