"What would your feelings be, seriously, if your cat or your dog began to talk to you, and to dispute with you in human accents? You would be overwhelmed with horror. I am sure of it. And if the roses in your garden sang a weird song, you would go mad. And suppose the stones in the road began to swell and grow before your eyes, and if the pebble that you noticed at night had shot out stony blossoms in the morning?" From Arthur Machen's "The White People"

Welcome to the Philosophy of Horror
This group blog exists in order to provide a forum for philosophical thought about horror films and literature. Some of the works we will discuss over the next few weeks include the James Whale Frankenstein films, Jacques Tourneur's Cat People and The Curse of the Cat People, H.P. Lovecraft's "The Colour Out of Space", and F.W. Murnau's Nosferatu.
