<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">聽鈥淔ear is one of the most basic human emotions,鈥� said Erik Boccio, assistant professor of cinema and television arts, and curator of this semester鈥檚 Cinematheque series. 鈥淲hile some may avoid the topic, so many people are fascinated by fear </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">鈥�</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> which explains why horror is so popular in films, books, music, graphic novels, artwork, and video games. Horror, just like cinema, is an escape鈥�.聽</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Boccio鈥檚 selection of these movies is intended to showcase the history of the genre, while highlighting the theme 鈥淎ll Things That Frighten You.鈥�</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">鈥淣arrowing down the films to a slate of 13 was very challenging considering I began with a list of well over two dozen,鈥� he said. 鈥淢y intention was to include something for everyone with an interest or curiosity in the macabre. The series covers a variety of topics including mental health, substance abuse, racism, sex, possession, cults and a few blood-suckers for good measure .鈥澛�</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Boccio said attempted to choose films that horror lovers and fanatics would truly appreciate, while taking into consideration that many people have not had the opportunity to watch them anywhere other than their home. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cinematheque gives audiences a chance to see paradigm horror films on a big screen, the way the filmmakers intended.</span></p>
