Short Answer
Why do people like horror as a genre? What purposes might it serve beyond entertainment? What do people take away from the gruesome and the horrific? Can horror ever be considered literary or artistic? Why or why not?
Teaching Suggestion: The questions may be best used as a class discussion to spark interest and then revisited after reading one or more of the sources below.
