Newsletter #33: A Horror Post-Mortem
I really enjoyed this and hope you'll do more of them. Also, I really enjoyed the mini-class. The thing that I enjoy about horror (and many times science fiction or fantasy) is that there's always a deeper level. There's the surface level stuff that's going on but there's also the underlying social commentary. I enjoyed reading your thoughts on what the different eras of horror movies represented and what they were commenting on.
One genre of horror that I've never really been able to get into is body horror. It's never appealed to me, but sometimes it seems like it's growing in popularity. Any thoughts on whether this represents some type of commentary about something going on within our society or if it's just some creator really trying to gross everyone out?
