With Dr Charlotte Baker
Mondays 10th March-31st March, 6:30pm-8:30pm
Tickets £40, online via Google Meet
This four week course, which includes creative writing tasks throughout, focuses on Mike Flanagan's extensive catalogue of work, with a particular focus on his Netflix originals (The Fall of the House of Usher, The Haunting of Bly Manor, The Haunting of Hill House, Midnight Mass). From his ability to utilise and rewrite the Gothic woman trope to his carefully constructed atmosphere, incredible jump scares of misdirection and his use of abject horror; we will look at what lessons his work holds to inform and develop our own pieces.
