Description

CONTENT WARNING: CHILD ABUSE! In this episode we disuss the psychology of  THE classic horror slasher, Michael Myers, in Halloween (1978 & 2007 versions). We compare and contrast the depiction of Michael Myers as well as Dr. Loomis in the 1978 John Carpenter version with the 2007 remake by Rob Zombie. We review the Adverse Childhood Events Scale (ACES) as well as debate whether Michael shows symptoms of Conduct Disorder, Dissociation due to Childhood Trauma, Reactive Attachment Disorder or a combination of all three. We also discuss the ethics violations displayed by Dr. Loomis and debate the impact these movies have on mental health stigma. Tune in to learn more and follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram!
