I've only just subscribed to Screen-L so this suggestion may have already done the rounds. Surely Robin Wood's writing on the Horror film remains one of the most perceptive and workable accounts of the genre, and might prove particularly useful for undergraduates. The key article is "The American Nightmare", though some of his subsequent writing (On Larry Cohen, George Romero, the 80's horror film) is also extremely good. The articles were originally published in Film Comment, a number appear in a short book published in connection with the 1979 Toronto Film Festival (also called "The American Nightmare" if I remember correctly). However, they are most readily accessible as chapters in Wood's book "Hollywood from Vietnam to Reagan" (New York; Columbia University Press, 1986). ---- Online resources for film/TV studies may be found at ScreenSite http://www.tcf.ua.edu/screensite
