Horror as a Film Genre Show Notes:

• Horror film as defined by Wikipedia "Horror films are unsettling movies that strive to elicit the emotions of fear, disgust and horror from viewers. They usually feature frequent jump scenes that make the viewers jump and startled through the means of macabre and the supernatural, thus frequently overlapping with the fantasy and science fiction genres. Horrors also frequently overlap with the thriller genre."
• 2010 horror so far: The Crazies, Frozen, The Human Centipede, My Soul To Take, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Daybreakers, The Wolfman, Piranha 3D, Case 39, Hatchet II and Repo Men.
• Upcoming 2010 Horror Films: Hereafter, Paranormal Activity 2 and Saw 3D
