Are you ready to face your fears?

Do you have your ticket for my new class The Legacy of Horror?

https://www.morbidanatomy.org/classes/p/the-legacy-of-horror-with-carl-abrahamsson

”These films do not offer the comfort of resolution. The monsters are not slain. The characters are not healed. Instead, they emphasize the persistence of suffering—and the thin line between coping and collapse. Trauma horror asks the audience to dwell in discomfort, to sit with grief, guilt, and ambiguity. It replaces catharsis with confrontation.”

In four illustrated online live sessions, I will talk about the development of cultural expressions dealing with our psychological-emotional need to be terrified (by proxy/culture). It’s apparently not enough to be victims of disasters and psychopaths – we need to reli(e)ve the traumas by making up similar scenarios that we can share and process together in order to be rid of them. But can we ever, and do we really want to?

It’s the most ambitious class I’ve developed yet, and I look forward to seeing you there. Q & A after each session, of course. Come share your fears! (And, if you should miss out on a live session, you will of course be provided with a video recording.)
