Episode notes

In this episode of Entertainment Education: The Podcast - The One with horror, Horror has long been one of the most misunderstood genres in entertainment. While many people see it simply as a source of scares, horror films often serve as powerful reflections of the societies that create them. They explore our deepest fears, comment on politics, culture, mental health, and social issues, and challenge audiences to confront uncomfortable truths through compelling storytelling. Joining me today is Dr. Ahmad Hayatt, Professor of Media and Horror Fan.
