Creepy & Paranormal As Cultural Control

When so much is out of control, theory is a refreshing reclaim of self-sovereignty. Our own explanation beats the one that isn’t even given. Power is taken back.

Making our own scary content provides control over the uncomfortable ideas we conjure. We now own them.

Horror’s power is agnostic to medium.

In our moment of radical uncertainty, watching resolution provides our craved reassurance. Second-hand closure relieves us.
