The most successful horror movie franchise of all time is called "Saw." There are five "Saw" movies, and each one features prolonged scenes of gory torture and victimization. But not all modern horror movies focus on graphic murder scenes. Gabe Rapier isn't a huge fan of horror movies. But he thinks when they're done right, they can give us a way to safely explore some of the darker elements of humanity. Gabe also works at the Columbia City branch of the Seattle Public Library. He talked with KUOW's Jeannie Yandel about three horror movies in Seattle Public Library stocks — "Nang Nak," "El Rey De La Montana," and "Blind Mountain" — that are all worth checking out.
