The Supernatural and the Movies

11:00 AM, Sunday, May 18, 2008

How did the horror genre in movies arise and become so popular? 

Plotting its emergence first in literature, and later in movies, David Richards traces the development of cinema as a successful outlet for horror material, discusses the transition from rational to supernatural antagonists, and evaluates the impact of horror and the supernatural on society. 

After Richards presents an overview with movie clips, a panel discussion with special guests having expertise in the genre will follow.

David Richards, who works for a manufacturer of equipment for the film exhibition industry , is a member of the Independent Investigations Group of the Center and the coordinator of CFI’s Orange County Community.
