Psyche uses horror films as a springboard for examining power, visibility, and the politics of fear—especially how negative publicity shapes cultural narratives around queer and marginalized identities. The show treats horror not as mere entertainment but as a mirror reflecting society's anxieties and blind spots.
The host discusses the power of publicity, even negative publicity, and how the LGBTQ+ community has been portrayed in media like horror movies.
