鬼怪妖魔，不僅侵擾了我們對日常的想像，更以獨特的身姿記下人們的焦慮與恐懼。超自然的存在與駭人的異象，深刻映照出教人不安的現狀，同樣也反向地標識了，那些難以名狀的冀盼。恐怖與驚慄的諸種類型與子目，無非為這些情感劃分出多樣的發展模式與面貌，恰恰構成了我們反思議題及憂慮的絕佳平台。
這次講座，由葉梓誦主持，藝術家徐世琪及電影研究學者譚以諾會從驚慄電影出發，探析恐怖與希望的相生形式，串連東南亞與西方電影，探索當中的後末世場景與恐怖類型的多種變體，詰問我們如何由此觀照社會的集體想像與焦慮。在營造恐怖氛圍以外，這些想像是否同樣可以駁向，對另類的社群及社會形態的冀盼？以此為起點，創作恐怖驚慄故事，會否也是一種對當下的重構，對未來的嶄新想像？
是次活動亦為徐世琪新一輪集體創作計劃的起端。歡迎對恐怖故事、思辨文學有興趣的朋友一同參與，發掘驚慄文化更深層的意義。
Ghosts and monsters do more than disturb our everyday reality—in their singular forms, they give shape to our deepest anxieties and terrors. The supernatural and the anomalous not only reflect our present unease but also gesture toward our unspoken longings. Across its many variations and subgenres, horror charts different modes of feeling and expression, offering a lens through which we can confront contemporary questions and concerns.
In this talk moderated by Ernest Ip, artist Angela Su and film scholar Enoch Tam Yee Lok will take horror cinema as a point of departure to explore how fear and hope become entangled. Moving between Southeast Asian and Western cinemas, they will traverse post-apocalyptic worlds and the many mutations of horror to consider how these works illuminate our shared anxieties and collective imagination. Beyond conjuring dread, could such visions also open pathways to alternative communities and new social forms? And if so, might writing horror itself become a way to recompose the present and envision futures anew?
This event also marks the launch of Angela Su’s new collective creative project. Those drawn to horror storytelling and speculative fiction are invited to join and explore the deeper resonances between horror and culture.
