Curious People: Horror Films and the Culture That Makes Them @ West Highland | February 18, 6-8 pm
Horror films do more than scare us… they reveal what we fear.
Professor Andrew Bateman teaches film at CU Denver, and he’s going to show you how horror works as a cultural mirror, how these films expose the social tensions, moral conflicts, and anxieties of the moment they’re made. How engaging with the unsettling and taboo on screen tells us as much about ourselves and our society as it does about the ‘monsters’.

What is Curious People?
Once a month, we pull you off your couch, off your algorithm, away from your big, medium, and small screens. Take professors, along with their research, years of experience, and knowledge off college campuses and put them in a room together. Learn over a drink. All of us, curious.
