Inspired by our review of The Taking of Deborah Logan, in this episode of Special Topics we take a look at representations of illness and disease in horror films, both literal and metaphorical. We discuss a wide range of films, from Outbreak to May to The Babadook to The Shining to Donnie Darko to The Grapes of Death (best title ever) to The Silence of the Lambs vs. Manhunter, as well as obscure TV shows like The X-Files and Hannibal. Throw in some painful personal stories and references to about 52 other films, and we get a typically scintillating WDKU discussion.
