The Psychology of Fear

Fear isn’t just about what lurks in the dark—it’s about what lingers in our minds long after the monster disappears. In this episode of Haunted by Her, we dive deep into the psychology of fear through the lens of Stephen King’s IT and its ultimate predator, Pennywise the Dancing Clown.

Pennywise doesn’t just terrify his victims—he tailors fear to fit them perfectly. But why does fear hold so much power? Why do our worst nightmares feel so real? And most importantly, how do we fight back?

Join me as I break down:

🎭 The origins of Pennywise—what is he, really?

🧠 The science of fear—how Pennywise manipulates his victims.

💀 The Losers’ Club’s individual fears—and how each one reflects real trauma.

😈 The power struggle between belief & terror—how fear only wins when we let it.

This isn’t just a horror story—it’s a lesson in survival. Fear feeds on silence, but when we face it head-on? The monster crumbles.
