Can you measure the scariness of a slow-burn, dread-drenched horror movie such as THE WITCH from @EggersFilms/@A24? We gave it a go:
Obsession is making audiences scream in terror and howl with laughter.
How come?
And why do so many of the currently most interesting horror film directors have a background in comedy?

We’re excited to share a new addition to the Recreational Fear Lab’s website: a photo gallery!
It offers a glimpse into our research, experiments, and day-to-day activities as we explore the science of fear and its recreational dimensions.
Halloween season is laundry season at the lab. Next season maybe we oughta invest in black lab coats, if such a thing even exists ...
