For those visiting a haunt this Halloween season, brush up on the fundamentals of fear before you go. @mysterysue.bsky.social's essay "It's Like a Horror Movie That You Walk Through": Experiencing Horror Through Immersive Recreation" is new + #openaccess from J Am Culture. doi.org/10.1111/jacc...

On the left, a screenshot of the article "'It's Like a Horror Movie That You Walk Through': Experiencing Horror Through Immersive Recreation" in plain text.

On the right, a promotional photo for the Nosferatu Immersive Experience featuring an image from the 2024 version of NOSFERATU in which a bony, sharp-nailed vampire hand caresses the face of a young woman who's lying down.

Had a great time as an invited speaker talking about #hauntedtourism at the Blue Ridge Rising Summit with Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation in lovely Roanoke. Great to meet friends old and new! So excited to share about opportunities for haunted tourism, #legendtripping, and #cryptidhunting!

Interested to know if any academics studying #darktourism #hauntings #immersivehorror or other related topics know of a good conference to attend or would be interested to attend one if I organized it?
