If you all missed Doxacon this past summer, you can still hear the presentations here<\/a>. I spoke on \u201cThe Humiliation of Authority in Horror Movies,\u201d aka why is it that if you are in a horror movie you should trust the old, the very young, the mentally unwell, the ethnic or nonwhite, and the traditionally religious? Or, put the other way around, why is it that if a priest or a child or a dotty old cat lady rambling about The Old Ways is correct\u2026 you\u2019re in a horror movie?<\/p>\n

This presentation isn\u2019t as fully-baked as I\u2019d like\u2013I wish I\u2019d incorporated Get Out<\/em><\/a> toward the end as a kind of anti-Candyman<\/em>, for example\u2013but I think there\u2019s good stuff in it and I would be interested in your comments as I try to work it into a written piece. I had a great time at Doxacon and heartily recommend it.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
