Abstract
The rapid development of horror films in Indonesia provides a perspective on the increasing trend and global interest in the entertainment industry. Many Indonesian filmmakers have gained attention from audiences and achieved viral status in 2022. One such example is the horror film titled "KKN DI DESA PENARI," which is among the most popular horror films in Indonesia in the last five years and has been screened in the United States. There is still limited research in Indonesia that explores horror films from the perspective of visual semiotics, directly analyzing the visual signs within them, including those related to Javanese culture. This study employs a qualitative descriptive method, utilizing Roland Barthes' semiotic approach, focusing on examining visual signs associated with traditional Javanese culture in Indonesia. The research aims to provide an analysis of visual signs related to traditional Javanese culture found in the film "KKN DI DESA PENARI."
