For some people, horror movies are some of the most entertaining films out there. Over the decades, there have been massive, massive hit films like IT, Us and the Saw series. All of these twisted, terrifying horror films have captured our imaginations and utterly terrified us, and some people keep going back for more. However, this raises a lot of fascinating questions about human behaviour, why are we scared of horror movies, why do some people enjoy horror films but others do not and most importantly, what is the psychology of horror movies. By the end of this social psychology podcast episode, you’ll understand why do we find horror movies scary, why do some people find them scary but not others and so much more. If you enjoy learning about horror movies, media psychology and fear, then this will be a great episode for you.
In the psychology news section, you'll learn about how grating tunes damage employee mental health, how living well with dementia gets lost in media coverage, and new ideas for support those with painful periods.
