This film delves into the intricate interplay between screen media, disability representation, and the uncanny within the horror genre. Focused on the convergence of cultural influences, it explores how disabled bodies are employed as elements of fear in the realm of analog horror, residing in the unsettling space between robotics and humanity known as the Uncanny Valley. The paper investigates the nuanced ways in which robotics mimic human aesthetics, creating an eerie yet captivating experience for audiences. Furthermore, the research scrutinises the manipulation of sound conventions in horror media, specifically inverting preconceived auditory expectations to induce fear. This examination contributes to our understanding of the profound impact sound has on audience perception and emotional engagement in horror narratives.The study also addresses the sonically codified representation of disability through the lens of the Medical Model. By scrutinising instances where sound either goes awry or is deliberately absent, the paper explores how such deviations from auditory norms contribute to the perception of disability as 'wrong' or ‘disturbing.'. This sonic dissonance between expectation and reality serves to reinforce societal biases and ingrained perceptions associated with disability, offering a unique perspective on the intersection of horror, technology, and disability studies.
