In this week’s episode of The Feelings Lab, we discuss the emotion of horror with Fred Armisen, guest Emmy-award nominated actor, writer, producer and musician, who joins our recurring hosts Dr. Alan Cowen, Dr. Dacher Keltner, Danielle Krettek-Cobb and Matt Forte.
“The call is coming from inside the house!” Wherein we discuss the unifying nature of the experience of horror in social groups, the aesthetic and cultural representation of the emotion throughout history, and how watching alien invasion films and “The Blair Witch Project” can make you more resilient.
Begin by hearing Dr. Dacher Keltner discuss the powerful, magical force that is culture, in which art—even the horrifying kind—gives us moments of clarity and adds color to our emotional landscape.
