About this listen

Journey into the horrifying depths with Candis Green, Registered Psychotherapist, (and all around spooky ghoul), as she explores how horror is really a mirror into ourselves.

If you're someone who watches horror movies and thinks — that nasty old well that Samara climbs out of in The Ring is really a metaphor for her grief — or Ghostface at his core is a spectre of intergenerational trauma... then tune in to explore how mental health themes are portrayed in your favourite horror movies and beyond.
