It's a perfect exploration of scary movies through a psychological lens, examining the impact of scary movies on the ego, any leftover trauma, and the nervous system.Films we discuss: Seven, Silence of the Lambs, Halloween, Carrie 1976, Joker, superhero films, and The Shining.Melissa's work can be found on her website or on Instagram @melissakimcorter.Please consider subscribing or leaving a review. Let's Talk Media can be followed on Instagram @letstalkmediava.Disclaimer: This is an opinion show. For those interested, any testing of ones psychological triggers should be done with caution and at their own risk. This may not work for everyone, depending on ones mental health and sensitivity to specific triggers and dark topics. Some films can also be more severe and frequent in causing discomfort and triggers than others. You probably have a good idea of what content you can and can't handle, so Melissa's opinion is not to serve as blanket advice.#depthpsychology #horrorfilms #filmpodcast #mediapodcast
