Horrors All The Way Down
How could I use Horror as a theme to reach as many patrons as possible?
My idea for how to use integrated advisory for Horror centers around video games during the fall. This would be a catchy display aimed at Young Adults and Adults. I would take highly acclaimed horror video games and pair them together with graphic novels, films, and general fiction novels that are similar in gore, lore and/or art style. I would also feature Music CDs that are have soundtracks from a horror video game.
In order to make the display as eye-catching as possible, I will implement decorations that would go along with the over-all theme of Horror. This would include is not limited to caution tape, fake spider webs, and fake rodents. I would also ask my colleagues if I could borrow any video game merchandise for the display.

I love this idea- especially the decorations! I was just reading something recently comparing different horror video games to books/movies- I wish I could remember where it was now. Would you add books/movies that are based on/tied into video games as well (such as the Five Nights at Freddy's books or that movie Stay Alive)? Excellent idea!
ReplyDeleteI would!
ReplyDeleteI never think about video games being available at libraries! This is a great idea.
ReplyDeleteThis is a really cool idea! I also love that you chose a particular season for the display, Fall's a great time for spooky stuff, even if it's not Halloween time. Pairing video games up with other library materials could be a great way to catch the interest of reluctant readers, especially in the teen age group. This is so cool!
ReplyDeleteThere are so many spooky video games this is a great idea for integrated advisory! Full points!
