- Aaand, we're off! The annual Recreational Fear workshop “When Fear Is Fun 2025” kicks off with Corinna Perchtold-Stefan. Corinna is enlightening us on why the true crime genre has such a massive gender difference, in favour of women consumers. Stay tuned! @aiasdk.bsky.social @au.dkDec 12, 2025 09:30
- We continue with the fascinating work by Sabrina Schneider, who delves into research on psychopathy and fear enjoyment. Sabrina’s work explores patterns in how psychopaths process fear stimuli, and how this may differ from people with no psychopathic traits.
- Now, @madisonlasaga.bsky.social is up, telling us all about her fascinating approach to using horror to investigate intrusive memories in PTSD.
- Now up, Botond László Kiss! Botond is persuading us that in horror studies, the predictors of excitement and enjoyment seem to be slightly different and they should be considered distinct emotional responses to horror.
- Jarred Lorusso brings the workshop to a close with a fantastic talk on the relationship between individual uncertainty and horror preference 🥳
