About this episode
What is it about horror that’s so soothing for some? Psychotherapist Melissa Stanger joins Anita to explain how scary movies can give anxious people a sense of control. She also shares her horror movie journey from watching less scary to “varsity level” horror films like Hereditary. Later on, they break down “The Blair Witch Project” and Anita discusses why it’s one of her top comfort films.
