The Curriculum of Horror
This text argues that works that fit into the horror genre (including film, written works, radio plays, music, and more) have been largely ignored by curriculum theorists, and that this marginalization makes the genre rife for exploring the anxieties that drive people to invent these tales, leaving them fertile ground for curriculum exploration.

James V. Grant earned his Ed.D from Georgia Southern University, focusing on curriculum and cultural studies, with a personal lens turned most often toward how the monstrous creeps into those areas. He has published several articles in educational journals in recent years, each exploring the curricular value of some dark element of humanity. He has taught English, debate, and film classes in private, public, impoverished, economically privileged, rural, urban, and suburban schools across Georgia. He currently teaches English at Grovetown High School.
