Trauma & PTSD in Horror Movies
The lasting effects of violence are the subject of 23 episodes. We looked at PTSD and toxic masculinity in Full Metal Jacket, the long reach of violence in Halloween (2018), trauma and the desire to fit in in Piggy, and generational trauma in The Endless. Don't Breathe asks how far we'll go to escape a bad situation, Tigers Are Not Afraid follows children left behind in a war zone, and Scream and Mandy ask how trauma shapes the people we become.
