My name is Katherine Nagy and I am currently a senior in the Media Studies department here at UNCG. Last semester I took a horror film course and enjoyed exploring many of the classic horror films that have undoubtedly influenced today’s “scary” movies. I agree with many people in this course who feel that the horror genre has fallen off in recent years, and especially dislike the lack of imagination throughout the genre that has resulted in countless cheesy remakes of perfectly good films.
Aside from horror, I have always enjoyed all things paranormal. I grew up watching The X-Files and have loved being able to revisit all of those eerie episodes via Netflix. I also have a strange addiction to most ghost shows on television because like Mulder, I want to believe.
Overall, I am extremely excited to be taking this course and am looking forward to exploring the metaphysical aspects of media portrayal in today’s society.
