FYS 1159 - Horror in Fiction and Film

Credits: 4
In this course students will examine horror in fiction and film, investigating together why it fascinates so many of us, and analyzing what kind of messages it conveys about the world we live in. In addition to reading and viewing these works for enjoyment, we will analyze them, attempting to understand how they reflect the authors’ anxieties about a whole range of concerns: sexuality, the unconscious mind, scientific discoveries, unjust laws, and others.
