*First Assignment*
To practice our understanding of horror as a genre and the reasons why
people are drawn to it, complete the following : Choose a horror story,
film, song, or other work within the genre (make sure to tell me what it
is!). Discuss how it fits into the genre of horror (using
evidence/examples). Discuss its appeal - WHY do people engage with this
work? What do they get out of it specifically? As we saw in the Origins of
Horror PPT (linked on Week 1: Start Here!), horror can also be used to
reflect certain anxieties, fears, or issues going on in a particular time
in culture. Consider when this work was produced/written/released. How
might we tie some aspect of it - the plot, the format, specific themes or
ideas expressed in the work - back to culture and society itself at the
time of publication? How might it be important both then and now/into the
future? You will submit your work here on Canvas as a post in the forum. To

*And here’s the second assignment*
Post: (15 points, 150+ words in length) First, select and read ONE of the
horror theory articles linked in Week 1: Start Here! that discusses why
horror as a genre is appealing to certain audiences. Next, you will post
your response that explores: What the author's ideas are about why we are
drawn to horror (so critical/thoughtful engagement with the article
itself), and your thoughts on their approach (be sure you let us know which
article you're discussing here) Your own experiences, ideas, or theories to
the question of "why do we love horror?" You will submit your work here on
Canvas as a post in the forum. To create a new post, click the "reply"
