This week on Be Afraid, we break the fourth wall, moving from the world of horror fiction to the world of nonfiction. As we do, we consider the real stuff, the stuff movies are made of, the stuff horror movies are made of. By examining the phenomenon of real-world exorcisms, we ask how it is that we can be both skeptical and scared. Joining us this week: Dr. David Taylor is Associate Professor of Theology and Culture at Fuller Theological Seminary. Rob Clark is the minister to youth and children at University Place Presbyterian Church. Dr. Coltan Scrivner is a behavioral scientist and is the author of a forthcoming book exploring our Morbid sense of Curiosity. Resources Referenced: Planet Weird’s Youtube of Anneliese Michel, the Real Emily Rose God’s Wider Presence, Robert K. Johnston Born Believers, Justin L. Barrett. Washington Post article about the trial of Anneliese Michel’s parents and priests.

We All Go A Little Mad Sometimes
This week on Be Afraid, we not only watch, but listen to the ways in which slasher films make us feel about random acts of violence.

It’s Coming From Inside the House
This week on Be Afraid, we move from toys that come alive when we’re not looking to dolls who are possessed by Satan himself. Along the way, we think about all the footage we’re creating every day on our smartphones and social media feeds, and how that might very well be documenting the horrors that constantly surrounds us.
