Beyond the Scares: Healing & Catharsis in Horror | ATX TV Festival Season 10

The fundamental aim of Horror may be to thrill, spook, and scare -- but like any genre, great horror can also transcend its conventions, providing a unique kind of emotional catharsis by serving as a “safe” space to process real-life fears and anxieties. Join the creatives behind TVs creepiest fare for a conversation about using horror/genre elements to subvert audience expectations, explore complex concepts like grief and trauma, and restore agency to characters that have traditionally been depicted as “victims.“ This panel originally aired Thursday, June 17 as part of ATX Television Festival Season 10. PANELISTS: Vera Miao (Creator/Director/EP, Two Sentence Horror Stories) Elizabeth Klaviter (Showrunner/EP, Clarice) Nick Antosca (Co-Creator/Showrunner/EP, Brand New Cherry Flavor; Executive Producer, Chucky series) Rebecca Breeds (Actor, Clarice) MODERATOR: Angel Melanson (HorrorGirl Problems Podcast) SUBSCRIBE to @ATX TV for more panels, conversations &
