The Paradox of Horror: Why Do We Enjoy Scaring Ourselves? “X”

April 6 @ 5:00pm - 6:30pm EDT

In person film screening begins at 2pm. The discussion begins at 4pm. This film screening explores the pleasure and fascination we experience when consuming horror movies and true crime media. Presenters will draw from analytic philosophy and psychoanalytic theory to explain our attraction to what is frightening and uncertain in our world. By identifying horror genres with attempts to resolve our deepest anxieties, presenters will discuss how horror can help us understand both our clients and ourselves.
