“Bringing a refreshingly egalitarian approach to the subject, Horror 101 collects musings on our favorite chillers not by the expected assortment of critics and filmmakers, but the audience – the fans themselves. Young and old, male and female, located all over the globe. From Alien through The Wicker Man, each entry brings a breath of fresh air to the consideration of seminal movies many of us thought had been analyzed to death. As editor Aaron Christensen puts it, “Keep America strong! Watch more monster movies!”
— Joe Dante, director, The Howling, Pirahna, Gremlins
Join the editor of Horror 101 Vol 1, Aaron Christensen as he talks about how the book came to be, the recruiting of the various contributors and the selection of the films that make up Horror 101. Aaron will lead a discussion about the evolution of the horror genre, and why the films listed in Horror 101 are significant in that evolution. He will cover where the horror genre has been, where it currently stands now, and where it’s heading in the next 5-10 years. Along with answering any questions Aaron will be on hand to sign copies of the book too.
