About Danny

Danny Boey Boon Kiat, known professionally as Danny Boey, is a sessional academic at Curtin University Singapore, affiliated with the Department of Communication and Cultural Studies at Curtin University in the Faculty of Humanities. He holds a Doctor of Philosophy from Queensland University of Technology, completed in 2012. His doctoral thesis, titled "The National Specificity of Horror Sources in Asian Horror Cinema," was supervised initially by Gary MacLennan and later by Terry Flew, with additional input from Christy Collis and Alan McKee. The work explores the relationship between horror films and their national contexts in Japan, Hong Kong, and Thailand, analyzing sources from religion (Buddhism and Taoism), mythology (priesthood, shamanism, superstitions), and literature (Pu Song Ling’s Liaozhai Zhiyi and Lafcadio Hearn’s Kwaidan). Boey identifies shared pan-Asian elements and national specificities shaped by cultural heritage, folklore, socio-political factors, and genre developments.
