Résumé anglais The sertão has been taken as a space for the development of horror literature since the 19th century, according to Silva (2016), with works such as O Cabeleira (1876), by Franklin Távora and Os brilhantes (1895), by Rodolfo Teófilo. In the 21st century, the sertão has been reaffirming itself as one of the characteristic spaces of the horror genre, both in literature and cinema. This article aims to analyze how humor, social criticism and the fantastic are used as literary and filmic resources in the novel O Capeta-Caolho contra a Besta Fera (2018), by Everaldo Rodrigues and in the film Bacurau (2019), directed by Kleber Mendonça and Juliano Dornelles.
