This week on Be Afraid, we not only watch, but listen to the ways in which slasher films make us feel about random acts of violence. We also compare slashers to body horror, and ask the question of whether or not the horror genre might present us with a vision of human life as fully embodied. For show notes and more information, visit:<a href="https://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/podcasts/be-afraid/we-all-go-little-mad-sometimes.html">LINK</a> Learn more about your ad choices.

Now I Know What A Ghost Is: Unfinished Business

Hosted by Dr. Kutter Callaway, this podcast takes you on a journey into the heart of one of the most popular genres of contemporary film and television: horror. Whether you’re a lifelong horror fan or won’t go within 10-feet of a scary movie, each episode generates a conversation about the nature of our fears and why we just can’t seem to look away from the things that terrify us, even if we find ourselves peering through the slightly parted fingers covering our eyes. Over the course of the season, you’ll hear from major Hollywood filmmakers, well-known film critics, leading psychologists, and even an exorcist or two. At times, it will be dark, and perhaps even shocking, but the goal isn’t to wallow in this darkness anymore than it is to eliminate it from our lives. This podcast isn’t about how to avoid fear, how to leverage it, or even whether or not it’s ok to be afraid. This podcast is an exercise in learning how to fear rightly. It’s an exploration of fear, faith, and stories that scare the daylights out of us. From the studio that brought you "The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill" and "The Bulletin," “Be Afraid” is a production of Christianity Today, Fuller Seminary, and Uncommon Voices Collective.
