Reflections of Horror

Reflections of Horror

In Reflections of Horror, Lisa (she/her) and Cale (she/they) dig a little deeper in the horror genre, look beyond the monsters and the jumpscares and ask what really makes this scary and how does this reflect our lived experiences and fears? By looking through a queer and feminist lens, they’ll examine why horror films do what they do, and how they reflect the terrors and taboos of our society.

In her excitement, Lisa told a little lie. Texas Chainsaw Massacre (October 1974) was released before Black Christmas (December 1974) - but people do still tout Black Christmas as one of the original slashers!
