The Horror Film in Media & Popular Culture

6 weeks, 6 films, 6 scares! Are you a fan of horror films or want to learn more about them? Join Greenfield Community College English Professor Lillian Ruiz at the LAVA Center this summer to view and discuss six influential horror films that provide more than just cinematic scares, but social commentary on their time and place as well. LAVA’s six-week session is a condensed version of CMN 201, The Horror Film in Media and Popular Culture at GCC, without any academic expectations except that you have fun. Refreshments, of course, will be provided because no film viewing experience is complete without snacks.
