Lectures For Lifelong Learners!

From vampires and zombies to aliens and slashers, this spine-tingling lecture shows how movie monsters reflect more than our fears—they are projections of our collective cultural psyche. We’ll explore how monster movies reveal something about our politics, our prejudices, and the social anxieties of their time. From Cold War paranoia to pandemic anxiety, immigration fears to technological threats, monsters aren’t just here to scare us—they’re here to tell us something about ourselves and our others.
