Many fans, critics, and creators agree that we are living in a Golden Age of Horror. From new fiction by Carmen Maria Machado and Stephen Graham Jones to films such as TIGERS ARE NOT AFRAID (Lopez 2017) and MIDSOMMAR (Astor 2019), the genre is proving to be finely crafted and character driven. In other words, horror in the twenty-first century is much more than slasher films, body gore, and jump scares (though there is still plenty of room for those!). The horror genre explores the human condition through the emotion of fear—fear of pain, disease, isolation, of being lost, consumed, or prey to supernatural forces. Horror also teaches us how to handle those fears. According to writer Ruthanna Emrys, “Horror as a genre is built around one truth: that the world is full of fearful things. But the best horror tells us more. It tells us how to live with being afraid.” This course explores horror from fairy tales like Bluebeard, to Gothic classics by Poe, to American cinema’s Universal monster films, to contemporary works by Jennifer Kent, Brian Evenson, and more. This course satisfies the WAC Writing Intensive requirement and an Integration in the Humanities requirement. It also satisfies a Film Studies History and Analysis major and minor requirement. NOTE: This is a cross-listed class, with 11 seats in this ENGL 202-W02 side and 9 seats in the FILM 297-W01 side. Also, please note that ENGL 202 is non-repeatable; students wishing to take a second 200-level Texts in Conversation course will need to register for ENGL 201, 203, or 204. Prerequisite: ENGL 106, 121, or 190.
