In this six-week course, six instructors turn their focus on a single year in horror: 1983. Why 1983? Why not!? Many historical analyses focus on watershed years for horror, like 1960 or 1968, but the more random selection of 1983 allows for a broadening of approach and subject matter, and an attention to the historical moment that transcends notions of “key” periods and avoids traditional arguments around horror appearing more significantly at “times of crisis” or collective trauma. Let’s take a look at what horror does all the time, every year. We present to you … the horror of 1983. Works to be discussed include Christine (novel and film), Videodrome, The Dead Zone, Brainstorm, Twilight Zone: The Movie (pictured above), and Lucio Fulci's Conquest. Help us to welcome guest instructors Clayton Dillard, coming to us from Oklahoma, and Will Dodson, from North Carolina!
