Anatomy of Fear


The Anatomy of Fear: Horror, Psychology, and the Human Mind

Duration: 60+ Minutes | Target Audience: Teens & Adults


Why are we drawn to the things that scare us? The Anatomy of Fear is a high-energy, interactive journey into the darkest corners of the human psyche. Part psychological deep-dive and part live "horror game show," this session deconstructs the science of the "uncanny."


Highlights include:

  • The Science of Scares: Explore why liminal spaces, distorted faces, and isolation trigger our fight-or-flight response.
  • Interactive Gaming: Audience members participate in live polls and "survival" games to test their own fear thresholds.
  • Pop Culture Deep-Dive: From the gothic roots of Frankenstein to the History of Halloween to the modern dread of internet folklore.
  • A Haunting Guest: Meet "Mallory," the cursed doll from the presenter’s own award-winning short film.
  • Mallory's Must-See Horror films: Participants will get a list of the best horror films to watch from Mallory herself


Blending history, psychology and horror imagery, this presentation is designed to bridge the gap between hard-to-reach teen audiences and adult horror fans. This is an immersive experience, featuring atmospheric lighting, film clips and live storytelling. This presentation is turn-key, offering creative programing during the spooky season – or any time of the year. Can be adapted to coincide or be incorporated with existing programing regarding Halloween or film series programing.

  • Setup: Requires a projector/screen and audio output. (The presenter provides atmospheric lighting and props).
  • Customization: Can be scaled for small community rooms or large theater-style auditoriums.
