Miskatonic: Be One of the Good Ones: His House and Colonial Capitalist Hauntings

His House (2020) is a ghost story about displacement, precarity, and the inescapable afterlives of empire. This lecture situates the film within a global “horror cinema of precarity” that uses the genre to address marginalised experiences. Drawing on postcolonial Gothic and hauntological theory, it explores how Britain’s imperial and capitalist legacies haunt the film atmospherically rather than corporeally.

Miskatonic: Blood Work: The Craft and Culture of Gore Cinema

This lecture reframes gore as an aesthetic practice rooted in tactility, craft, and collaboration. Tracing the devaluation of gore films and their fandoms, it situates graphic violence within broader artistic traditions and examines practical effects as a form of resistance to digital smoothness.
