1) Provide a selection of resources that might be "spooky" or otherwise categorized with themes of gothic, noir, supernatural, paranormal, or horror. (With a few exceptions, emphasis is generally on literature, myth, and/or documentaries.)
2) Introduce a selection of Databases through which University of Wisconsin-Superior users can access various types of media
Resources of note (organized by database) include:
- Access to Books, eBooks, Audiobooks, Popular Film, and more through the Jim Dan Hill Library
- Graphic Novels, Poetry, Radio Dramas, and more
- Recent Theater Performances on film
- A Horror Classic; along with Documentaries (primary focus on film and literary figures)
