Each month, we’ll present a meticulously curated pair of films that push the boundaries of fear, blending classic chills with fresh, innovative scares. But this series isn’t just about the fright—it’s a journey into the psychology and physiology of horror. Why do we willingly subject ourselves to fear-inducing experiences? What is it about the adrenaline rush and the shivers that keeps us coming back for more? COLD SWEAT delves into these questions, exploring the complex relationship between our physical reactions and emotional responses when watching terrifying films.
From the primal thrill of a jump scare to the lingering dread of psychological horror, this series uncovers the reasons behind our fascination with fear and the enduring appeal of one of cinema’s most beloved and lucrative genres. Join us for a monthly exploration where each double feature not only delivers heart-pounding entertainment but also invites you to reflect on the profound impact of horror on our minds and bodies. Experience the terror, understand the allure, and discover why the genre remains a timeless and powerful force in film.
COLD SWEAT is programmed by Nick Edelberg, FACETS’ Program Operations Manager and Emma Greenleaf, FACETS’ Marketing Manager.
