Students will learn how films work specifically in regards to Halloween themed specials, slasher films, and horror films. Students will learn how film elements work and what is significant to a certain genre. "Campyness" will also be discussed since Halloween specials tend to be more on the "campy" side. Various clips will be shown and discussed within the classroom from various movies and Halloween specials from television shows. Brief description of the culture around Rocky Horror Picture Show to discuss the use of props as an immersive experience, but no clip from it will be shown.

My degree has involved learning about film studies and vigorously analyzing various texts. I like to teach these skills to others using fun subject material; I learned better when I was able to work with films/texts that I enjoyed.Reviews
