After a semester ( actually two if you count the facy that I took Phil. of Horror as a summer class once) of looking into all the theories of horror, I can truly gain an appreciation for the form. Horror never has been, nor will it ever be, my genre. Yet, if nothing else, I leave the class with an understanding of the complexity of the study.
More than anything I've learned it is okay to be scared by horror literature/film/etc. In fact, that is the point. I'm not a wuss or a baby because I cringe and cower as I watch horror films. In fact, that must just mean they are relatively good, or atleast effective, horror films.
