This panel would discuss the discourse that surrounds old horror movies versus horror movies of today. We will discuss things such as: special Fx makeup, monster creation, film making, writing, originality, and many other aspects that make horror movies memorable. This panel would include independent film and mainstream Hollywood movies to touch on multiple audiences, experiences, and what makes horror special both now and in the past. We would also like to have audience participation, by having them bring their own personal opinions to the panel.
