Why are we fascinated with films like Halloween and The Babadook? This class will use philosophical concepts and skills to explore the horror movie genre. Topics will include the definition of artistic genres, the phenomenology of horror, and the concept of monstrosity. You will be asked to closely examine both philosophical texts--including work by Noel Carroll, Cynthia Freeland, Catharine Malabou, and Eugene Thacker--and horror films themselves--including Night of the Living Dead, Christmas Evil, Titane, and The Love Witch. |
