The return of the repressed is the process where the repressed elements (holding back on a act of violation) is, built up/saved in the unconscious,it presses on normal thoughts trying to getout. it then reappears, in consciousness or in behavior, and the person not able to stop it.
this relates to horror as you have lie in most films have someone or something come back to life from the past to kill people they want to get revenge on.
