Talking Scared

CHAPTER

Fear, Memory, and the Horror Experience

This chapter examines the intricate link between personal memories of fear and perceptions of horror films, detailing how these experiences shape emotional responses and viewing preferences.

Furthermore, the discussion explores the evolution of horror cinema, advocating for a return to entertaining spectacles rather than solely introspective, heavy storytelling.
