How do you define “horror film”? Does it have to be gory or intense? Must it have a monstrous creature? Can it be quiet and subtle or should it make jump out of your seat? Does it even have to be scary? Everybody has a different opinion and our panel of experts are ready to share theirs as they attempt to answer the question “What is Horror?”

The panel features Film Threat founder Chris GoreMidsummer Scream Creative Director Rick WestHorrible Imaginings Film Festival founder/director Miguel Rodriguez, screenwriter/filmmaker Michael Varrati, actress/producer Sarah Nicklin, filmmaker/editor-in-chief at HalloweenMovies.com Sean Decker, and HorrorBuzz.com founder/editor Norm Gidney. Together they will discuss just what qualifies a movie to be a part of the horror genre.

In addition, the panel will take a look a handful of films that may not traditionally be considered horror but just might be after all. Some that may even surprise you.
