Horror as Cultural Guilt

Sharing Options

“The fact that the creator of the horror genre is celebrated as a proponent of sexual liberation indicates that our culture still does not understand horror. If our culture could make up its mind about sexual liberation, it would not need horror. It would either embrace sexual license wholeheartedly, as Mary’s husband did, or repudiate it wholeheartedly, as Christianity does. But horror is a sign that the culture cannot make up its mind” (E. Michael Jones, Monsters from the Id, p. x).
