In this collaboration with The Tolerant Left, we're in full cultural theory mode to talk about all manner of spooky topics: the nature of where many fears come from, the gendered and racialized aspects of fear, portrayals of mental illness in horror films, and a long discussion of the history and portrayal of witches and witchcraft!

Big content warning for discussions of sexual assault and trauma.

Outro: Talking Heads, "Psycho Killer"
