The Horror Genre is the most maligned genre in a maligned medium (film), but a closer look reveals that Horror has traditionally been the place where society's ills have been worked out most-effectively... and first. We'll talk about movements and trends; not just in the United States but around the world and not just from a historical perspective but a contemporary one. Join us as we discuss the evolution of the Horror film from both an artistic and sociological perspective, and suggest that we're entering into a new golden age for the genre.
