Tune in to The Graduates Tuesday May 21st @ 9AM for an interview with Eliot Bessette from the Department of Film and Media at UC Berkeley.
Eliot is a PhD candidate whose research focuses on horror movies and haunted house attractions. He wants to understand the relationship between the fear and thought that these types of entertainment elicit. In the interview he discusses his experiences at extreme haunts where the boundaries between performance and reality begin to blur.
