Horror imprints itself on our memory, but it does it in two very different ways. One can be recalled without a visceral reaction, but some fears run so deep they can cause an immediate fight or flight response. We'll look at how both systems work in today's Terror Talk.

Terror Talk: The Science of Fear

Today we're talking about how dear affects the brain and how horror movies literally change and imprint upon our actual brain structures.

#horror #brainscience #horrorsky

Horror asks us to be active participants in our own fear, supplementing their budget with our nightmares. This is what inspires creativity in the horror community. We all have stories to tell and our love of horror brings that out of us.

Terror Talk: The Terrible Place and Initiation

Why are some horror locations so iconic, and why do they leave a lasting impression on us? Some pivotal locations are sites of rights of passage for our main characters and for ourselves. They serve as modern temples of initiation.

Final girls are a necessary part of any slasher film (for the most part). They balance the vengeance the slasher brings, and put brakes on the unbridled chaos. Without a final girl we never get back to the stasis at the start of the film.

We're taking a break for a few days and going on a horror location vacation. Follow us on @dreadalert.com to see all of our horror adventures.

Terror Talk:
Slashers Part 2 - Slashers as a force of Nature.

Slashers can be an unrelenting force of evil and while it's terrifying, it can also force us to face impermanence in our own lives with strength and bravery.

Terror Talk: Why We Love Slashers

The Slasher subgenre has been controversial, looked down on, and demonized, but I think there is more there than the general public sees. Slashers tend to speak to our inherent sense of justice, and that is wonderful catharsis for horror fans. #horrorsky

Empathy is the horror fan's superpower. Horror as a genre demands empathy and compassion for it to be scary. That emotional skill is what makes our community strong.

Terror Talk: Horror and Catharsis

The Horror Community is one of the kindest and most supportive I've seen. I think a lot of that is because we expel both our fears and our bad intentions through the act of watching horror.

We are the weirdos, mister. Remember what makes our community great. Thank you for attending my Terror Talk.
