"And where do you live, Simon"? The Asylum and its Patients on Film

Presented by Mikatonic, this talk explores how cinematic representations of the asylum and its patients have reflected real-life developments in psychiatry, including the demolition of Victorian institutions and moves toward community-based care in the late 20th century. We will also see how film itself played a role in these developments, with documentary exposés of asylum life like Frederick Wiseman's Titicut Follies (1967) revealing the real-life horrors of the institution.

Antony Clayton joins the Miskatonic Institute of Horror Studies to explore a century of horror cinema rooted in the underworlds of fact and folklore, where everyday transit systems become uncanny landscapes of dread.
