  • Common Horror Elements 2.Pages
    Common Horror Elements 1) “Elements of Aversion” by Elizabeth Barrette - All horror has motifs in common - Elements of absence = Takes away certitudes (constant things in our lives) - The Unknown = primal fear, anything can happen, limitless potential, endless power - The Unexpected = reversal of expectation, confuses what we expect from reality - The Unbelievable = places beyond belief, boundaries of everyday reality - The Unseen = something new and strange, only become visible when something goes seriously wrong - The Unconscious = we fear ourselves, we can neither control nor escape it - The Unstoppable = we can not avoid or control it, confront the inevitable - Elements of Presence = Puts in certitudes, adds an intrusion to our comfort - Helplessness = lack of control, relate to the feeling - Urgency = the feeling that something has to be done, variables that place pressure on it - Pressure = build up of tension adding to urgency, slow build of tension, we connect to it in terms of the pressure in our own life, but is different then reality as it always reaches a resolution - Intensity = heightened awareness and senses, enhances all emotions, drowns out common sense, so all consuming, everything else becomes heightened, drowns out rational thinking of brain. - Rhythm = rise and fall of tension, pattern of action or lack of, comforting or disruptive, playing on our innate desire for the world to make sense - Release = comes to a conclusion, uncertainty keeps us waiting, redemption or disaster offer completion, balance restored or altered, its over, allows us to let the story go - What you get out of it largely depends on how you go into it - Your own fears will sustain you even as they threaten to drive you mad - Come out more powerful then when you went in 2) “The Evolution of American Horror Film” - Major Hollywood Figures in the Horror Genre - Larry Cohen: sophisticated, physiological.

TEACHING SPECULATIVE FICTION IN COLLEGE: A PEDAGOGY FOR MAKING ENGLISH STUDIES RELEVANT by JAMES HAMMOND SHIMKUS Under the Direction of Dr. Elizabeth Burmester ABSTRACT Speculative fiction (science fiction, fantasy, and horror) has steadily gained popularity both in culture and as a subject for study in college. While many helpful resources on teaching a particular genre or teaching particular texts within a genre exist, college teachers who have not previously taught science fiction, fantasy, or horror will benefit from a broader pedagogical overview of speculative fiction, and that is what this resource provides. Teachers who have previously taught speculative fiction may also benefit from the selection of alternative texts presented here. This resource includes an argument for the consideration of more speculative fiction in college English classes, whether in composition, literature, or creative writing, as well as overviews of the main theoretical discussions and definitions of each genre.

  • The Nemedian Chroniclers #24 [AE17]
    REHeapa Autumnal Equinox 2017 THE RISE OF THE NEW HYBORIAN LEGION, PART TWO By Lee A. Breakiron As we saw last time, the Robert E. Howard United Press Association (REHupa) was the first amateur press association (apa) dedicated to that author. Its founder, Tim C. Marion, started it in 1972 when he was 13 and edited it through the first 19 of its bimonthly Mailings, but left afterward since he was ultimately more interested in fan activities than Howard as a literary figure. Before that, discontent with his leadership and with the real dearth of worthwhile essays and critiques during the early years led to future literary critic Don Herron and others to leave and create The Hyperborian League (THL) apa in October, 1975. Its official editor (OE) was Herron and it was “devoted to the creative discussion of authors Clark Ashton Smith and Robert E. Howard and their works,” though material on other fantasy writers and poets was welcomed. Herron said he spelled the name of the apa “Hyperborian” rather than “Hyperborean” because he wanted to emphasize the fact that it was devoted to both CAS (whence Hyperborean) and REH (whence Hyborian). It would still be occasionally misspelled, even on covers. Its official organ document was titled “Skull & Sandalwood,” suggested by REH’s “Skull-Face” and CAS’s Sandalwood. The fanzines composing the quarterly Mailings were at first stapled by the contributors and left so by the OE, who collected them and mailed them out to the current individual members. He also distributed some copies to libraries, sent “speculative” (“spec”) copies to recruit prospective members, and sold remaining ones to defray postage costs.

  • Conan Scenario Editor
    5 Dread Horror on the High Seas After having spent the last of their ill-gotten gains from a rich but unfortunate merchant vessel, the Tigress got caught in a severe storm. But thanks to the skill of the heroes and the hardy crew of the Tigress, they survived Nature's fury. Now, with the seas calm once more, the lookout spots another ship. It appears to have taken severe damage from the storm, lying dead in the water. An easy target for the experienced pirates of the Tigress. Checking equipment and preparing to board, they maneuver the Tigress alongside the other ship. Suddenly a shudder runs through the hull. The crew looks around nervously, and then several enormous tentacles erupt from the sea as from an octopus of truly staggering proportions! Crewmen are picked up and pulled screaming to their deaths below the suddenly frothing waters. And as a laughter as cold and terrible as the crushing depths rolls in from the other vessel, foul sorcery reaches out with its claws of pestilence. Those of the crew of the Tigress it touches are transformed into mindless monstrosities bent on killing the heroes! Conan, Bêlit, Hadrathus and Shevatas will have to act quickly to kill the sorcerer controlling the tentacled horror from the dark waters below, and prevent the monster from tearing the Tigress apart, killing them all! Objectives To win the game, the Heroes must ki ll Skuthus, get all surviving heroes after Skuthus is dead back to the Tigress, and get the number of tentacles adjacent to the Tigress down to 2.
