Scary stories help us process deep human fears and anxieties, but they also offer a reflection of larger cultural anxieties. We’ll examine stories and films from a variety of historical periods and Spanish-speaking regions, allowing ourselves to experience them both emotionally and intellectually. Taught in Spanish.  Prerequisite: SPAN 228.
