In this episode of Ten Short Films Podcast, Charles Paquin and Tara Mühlberghuber explore the paranormal, horror, and our fascination with the unknown.Featuring James Lessard, director of Animus, and Tara Mühlberghuber, cinematographer and director of Oneironaut, the conversation looks at why supernatural stories stay with us, from haunted houses and ghost-hunting games to Ouija boards, unexplained glitches, sleepover stories, and the unsettling feeling of being watched by something we cannot understand.Together, they discuss how horror can turn fear into connection, how humour and friendship can make terror feel more real, and why the genre gives us a strange sense of control over the things that scare us most.
