How is Western Christianity manipulated in American Supernatural Thrillers like It Follows to produce a social map of judgment and condemnation? Are these types of films extensions of religion? Why can’t young people have sex outside of marriage? How is all this emotional maelstrom regarding sex ultimately linked to the Counterculture of the 1960s? Use my documentary link below on the 1978 American Horror film Halloween as an example that connects sex, the counterculture, and sin.
I’ve restated the information above as a numbered list to constitute the basic assignment rubric:
1. How is Western Christianity manipulated in American Supernatural Thrillers like It Follows to produce a social map of judgment and condemnation?
2. Are these types of films extensions of religion?
3. Why can’t young people have sex outside of marriage?
4. How is all this emotional maelstrom regarding sex ultimately linked to the Counterculture of the 1960s?
5. Use my documentary link below on the 1978 American Horror film Halloween as an example that connects sex, the counterculture, and sin.
Your goal is to create a one page single spaced essay incorporating the themes listed above.
