Скачать или смотреть Why We Love Being Scared: SMU Experts on the Psychology of Horror

Why do we love being scared? Two SMU faculty members unpack our fascination with horror films in this conversation filmed at the G. William Jones Film & Video Collection in the Hamon Arts Library.

Dean Bryan Stone (Perkins School of Theology) and film professor Rick Worland (Meadows School of the Arts) discuss the psychological and cultural appeal of horror cinema, reacting to vintage footage of audiences leaving The Exorcist in 1974 and tracing how the genre has shifted from classic monsters to the deeply personal fears that linger beneath the surface.

Filmed at the G. William Jones Film & Video Collection at SMU Meadows, the discussion explores how horror reflects cultural anxieties and moral questions through a Christian lens.
