The Horror Movie Syllabus is an introduction to modern horror films (generally described as horror movies from 1970 to the present, with some notable exceptions) using a carefully-crafted syllabus of horror sub-genres and presenting three essential movies for each sub-genre. The three movies will be classified as either Undergraduate, Graduate, or Post-Graduate, with each classification's meaning being dependent on the movie selections for the particular sub-genre. Professor Victor will guide viewers through the syllabus, presenting selections for each sub-genre and inviting other horror aficionados to opine on additional and/or alternative selections. The Horror Movie Syllabus is a crash-course on horror movies, a place to pleasantly debate, and a puzzle to figure out how to get the syllabus to represent all of the horror movies you think are essential.
