The Frighteners

Why We Love Monsters, Ghosts, Death and Gore

Peter Laws

Peter Laws, a Baptist minister, has a personal fascination with horror culture. In this odyssey he attempts to understand why people like to be scared or disgusted, journeying to Transylvania and hunting werewolves in Hull. He also discusses whether embracing the gothic and gruesome is actually the healthiest way for us to confront our fear of death. Slightly off-mint.
