Instructions
After reviewing the video linked below, respond to each of the following prompts:
1. According to this video analysis, how do horror and horror movies reflect our cultural fears? Name two examples that the video gives and explain what those horror stories represented about the fears of those specific cultures (or decades).
2. What do you think people are most afraid of today — what might our culture most anxious about today? How might this manifest itself in the form of a horror movie?
OR, if there are already horror movies that evoke our current cultural fear, then how do these stories already do it?
3. Do you think it’s natural for us to process fear in this way? Or do our horror movies reflect a society and culture that’s been somehow damaged or broken? Would we be better off without horror movies — or is this just the way we’ll always process fear? Why or why not?
