A deep, savvy reflection on death's representation in culture and the power of horror movies to create spaces for us to embrace our fears, differences, and shared fate. Moving from the author's candid memories of first being captured by horror aesthetics, to a rich overview of horror history, to a list of films with summaries and reflections on how each treats questions of difference, this zine serves as a "cinematic toolbox" for examining the horror genre's often unique and bold approaches to political and cultural ideas (and identities).

Embrace the darkness, embrace life!
