The Return of the Repressed
The phrase ‘the return of the repressed’ is the process in which repressed elements are conserved in the unconscious and tend to reappear, in awareness or in behaviour. It can be in the shape of secondary and more or less unrecognizable "derivatives of the unconscious." Parapraxes are failed or suggested actions and are examples of such derivatives.

I don't think you understand what you've written Daniel. A golden rule of education is only write it if you understand it - otherwise it's bluffing. Try to think about the concept and put it into your own words, along with some thoughts on why it might relate to the horror genre.
