" 'Oh Yes, There Will Be Blood': A Roundtable on Contemporary American Horror Cinema"
 
 
 
Popular Culture Association/American Culture Association (PCA/ACA) National Conference 
 
Chicago, IL 
 
USA
 
April 16-19, 2014 
 
 
 
This roundtable discussion is centered upon recent scholarship, research and criticism concerning contemporary American horror cinema. Participants will read the volumes American Horror Film: The Genre at the Turn of the Millenium by Steffen Hantke, Post-9/11 Horror in American Cinema by Kevin J. Wetmore, Remaking Horror: Hollywood's New Reliance on Scares of Old by James Francis, Jr. and Horror After 9/11: World of Fear, Cinema of Terror by Aviva Briefel and Sam J. Miller. Participants will also engage in on-line discussions during January, February and March 2014 focused upon the texts. Participants (4-6 scholars) will write one short (3-5 pages) position/response paper regarding the notions posited in the volumes. The roundtable discussion at PCA/ACA will serve as a public conversation as well as a reflection and summation of the on-line discussion. The roundtable will allow participants to present their position papers and to pose further questions regarding scholarship that considers contemporary American horror cinema.
