In week three of the post horror studio we went through the history of horror and its ability to change overtime and its affect on how to justify whether a horror film is in the subgenre of post horror. A thing that was discovered inside me that made me really surprised was the amount of films we figured out and talked about were heavy interests of post horror and they can also justify for post horror even though they were made in the last century. Specific films that i did not realise or even know about it made me more interested in them and persuaded me to view them which included ‘Don’t Look Now’ which was made in 1973 and i also rewatched Stanley Kubrick’s masterpiece ‘The Shining’ due to the group exercise. In this exercise we watched various clips from horror classics like The Shining, Suspiria, Night of the Living Dead, Don’t Look Now and The Cabinet of Dr Caligari which provided groundwork for discussion and a huge interest in me. I found it very interesting as these films at the time were seen as experimental to the genre of horror and at the time were received as different and not treated in the same category, whereas now, they play the groundwork for modern day horror films which experiment from a contemporary lens. The thing about these films that make it experimental is that they are all different in their own way, creativity is key, yes these films take a while to heat up and scare the audience but they do it in the perfect way to excite them with all the tension and drama that gradually builds up as the film progresses. The reason i chose this exercise/groupwork/discussion was that each film had a lot to say about how close and similar these films have adapted and how these experimental horror films that shy away from genre conventions provide post horror inspiration. Not only this, the class and myself emphasised our interest in these inspirations through films such as ‘The Thing’, ‘Candyman’ and even ‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show’ elevate horror to new strengths that think outside of the box to surprise the audience in scary elements.
