I have always been intrigued by horror films, but it took me a long time to admit that I like them. Even with Midnight Madness, I didn’t start seeing films in the programme until my fourth festival.
From a scholarly standpoint, there’s actually much horror film theory out there (including a famous essay by Robin Wood) and I feel bad that York University never offered their horror genre studies course during the time I was a student there (I did take a David Cronenberg course though)
