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.

  1. 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!

  2. I never think about video games being available at libraries! This is a great idea.

  3. This 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!
