Halloween Special: Horror Movies & Mental Health Portrayal
Saturday Oct 31, 2020
Saturday Oct 31, 2020
NOTE: This episode names some rated R movies, discussing problematic and stigmatizing storylines from these movies.
In this Halloween Special, hosts Beki and Olivia take a break from their usual format of chatting about how we can support our mental health.
Instead, you will hear them chat about their pet peeves of the horror genre and why they find them frustrating. Whether that be incorrect terminology, sensationalization, or how mental health is portrayed impacts those living with a mental health challenge. The hosts finish by talking about how we can still enjoy the horror genre, as many people do! We just need to critically engage with it and reflect on how it impacts our views.
Have a safe and happy Halloween!
