Gremlins 2: The New Batch (Joe Dante, 1990)
As a number of scholars (e.g., Worland [2007], Geraghty and Jancovitch [2008]) have argued, the horror sequel may be the most important building block in what we have come to know as the horror genre. This, because it is in the horror sequel that the motifs, themes, and tropes that spectators associate with "horror" find stability through this repetition. Genre films, particularly in Hollywood, are beholden to financial returns, and this element must be considered. However, the degree of creativity and artistic integrity of the sequel is not necessarily compromised by such fiscal concerns. This course seeks to (re)evaluate the importance of the horror sequel to the development of the genre, and in some cases as an artistic and critical response to that perceived development. Instructors were encouraged to choose among their favourite horror sequels. MMS is proud to present a six-week course based upon those favourites, by some of our favourites.

​
In response to public health concerns around the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, we present our "Championing the Horror Sequel" course virtually. ​
MMS courses are free and open to the public. / Les cours et événements MMS sont ouverts à tous, et sont gratuits.
