What’s worse than being eaten by a monster? Becoming a monster! Forced to do the bidding of a fiend! Having no will of your own! That’s loss of identity, folks! And you can find it in spades in numerous horror, fantasy, and
science-fiction movies, from Dracula to Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Psycho, The Exorcist, and many others. Come hear about this Fate Worse Than Death that infuses so many horror films and imbues them with an over-
whelming sense of dread!
