Thanatophobia: The Psychology Behind Death Anxiety | Minisode w/ Maegan

Send us a text

In this minisode, join Maegan as she digs back into some psychological theories and concepts around fear. In particular our fear of death. Death is something that we all, sooner or later, have to face. We will all experience it. But how do we respond to it? Why are some of us more afraid than others? And what is it, exactly, that scares us about death?

The Clever Ghouls podcast, hosted by Maegan and Blair, is a show dedicated to watching, analyzing, and discussing the movies that make us think about them long after we’ve left the theater or turned off the TV. We bring quick wit and unique perspectives from backgrounds like art history, cinematography, psychology, analysis, public education, mysticism, mythos, and more to create a curated, inclusive conversation around the spooky movies we love. Tune in on your favorite podcast hosting platform to listen along, join the conversation, and chime in with your own observations!
