GCC prof on the social commentary of horror films

Home » Blog » GCC prof on the social commentary of horror films

October 28, 2021 //  by LAVA

“The LAVA Center will present ‘Ticket to Terror: Horror Film in the Age of Anxiety,’ a presentation by GCC professor Lillian Ruiz, on Saturday, Oct. 30, at 1 p.m.

“A good horror film offers not only entertainment, but social commentary as well. Serving as a lens into the fears and anxieties of its time and place, the horror film examines social and cultural issues such as race, class and gender, among others. From the 1920 ‘The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari’ (considered the first horror film) to the 2017 ‘Get Out’ (winner of an Academy Award), this presentation will address the horror film from a decade perspective.”
