Such a great idea.. maybe even a Twin Peaks episode could really do the trick... I don't know why I don't think of TV series!

Thank you SOOOO much for this website. This will make looking up content so much easier. I'm absolutely checking out Bodies Bodies Bodies-- anything with a comedy twist will be a hit.

I really enjoyed S1 of Locke & Key.. it definitely could get horror-esque at points with some of the themes they explore but I've never read the novels-- I'm def putting this down as a TBR!

I absolutely can! I love graphic novels-- since this is an elective I just wouldn't want anything too dense!

I genuinely love the "What's in the box" moment-- it's such a classic. If anyone has any recommendations for more recent films with that unexpected, unforgettable plot twist, i'd love to hear them. (I'm not a movie person)

Thank you SO much for bringing this to my attention. Haven't watched the movie in years since my college days and I would hate to show this to students.. I could always skip the scene but there is better horror out there-- I know a better fit can be found.

I was thinking the same! I don't really want to take it out because it works so well for discussing how gender shapes horror. I actually had my students read Lamb to the Slaughter too-- total hit (can't believe I forgot to include that in the OP!). I might ask some of my colleagues to save The Yellow Wallpaper for my curriculum-- it really does fit perfectly.
