FEAR ITSELF: Mental Health and Horror
Channel: Laura Crone
Date: 2020-10-30

I have struggled with horror movies my whole life. This year, I can't stop watching them.

Jump to 11:51 to avoid the most unflinching discussion of suicidal ideation.

List of international hotlines: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_suicide_crisis_lines

Also, wow, I accidentally made *very much* a jump scare. Watch out for the time code mentioned in the content warning if you too are a jumpy person, and if I got you bad please take at least some consolation from the fact that I also got MYSELF very, very badly.
