Where is the Monster Line: When Does a Character go from Relatable to Evil?
Sunday, September 15, from 2 pm to 2:50 pm
Horror fans love a good villain, so much so that sometimes villains are given backstories that make them seem sympathetic. So, where is the line between understanding a villain and losing all sympathy for them? Join the Horror Writers Association, Colorado, in delving into the backstories, reasoning, and mindsets of villains; why we might side with the bad guy (or be attracted to them); and figure out where is the monster line?
Panelists:
- A.E. Santana (moderator)
- David Boop
- Christina Bergling
- Matt Sprague
- Heather Hein
- Lindsay King-Miller
