Horror Films & True Crime Psychology

Two friends & colleagues discovered their love of all things Horror while training to become mental health professionals.

A forensic psychologist and a licensed therapist discuss criminal psychology through their passion for horror films.

We go deeper than most into the psyche and discuss way more than movies.

Beware: we discuss the dark side of life with a dark sense of humor.

  • Dr. Shannon Calder, PhD, LMFT

    CO-HOST, PRODUCER

    After working in TV and Film I went back to school to become a therapist and clinical supervisor. Terror Talk is meant to use my expertise in mental health, my media obsession, my love of horror films and true crime plus my sense of humor to entertain, educate, and spend time with my friend Cathy.

  • Dr. Cathy Barrett, PsyD

    CO-HOST

    My love for horror films started when I was very young. The youngest of four siblings and growing up in the 80’s provided the perfect platform for obsession with Freddy, Jason, and Michael. This love and my psychology profession is the perfect intersection for a podcast that takes horror and true crime to a whole new level.
