THC 51: Paul Kimball | The Other Side Of Truth
Fear as a Positive Emotion, The Exorcist and Jump Scares
The conversation shifts to the role of fear in the human experience. Kimball argues that fear is not inherently evil, citing horror filmmakers like Roger Corman and Peter Blatty. He shares an anecdote from a Cirque du Soleil show in Las Vegas where a performer's jump scare made a friend feel "alive," suggesting that the paranormal uses fear to push humans beyond their mundane "baseline" existence.
