This week on Working the Fright Shift, we’re joined by Halloween scholar and scream-season sage Lisa Morton, our featured Fear Architect. As an acclaimed author and historian, Lisa has penned definitive works on the origins, evolution, and cultural impact of Halloween, making her one of the genre’s most trusted voices.
In our Horror Blueprint segment, we explore how folklore and fear intertwine to shape the stories that haunt us.
Then, in Echoes of the Past, we trace the spine-tingling lineage of scare experiences—from ancient rituals to modern haunts—and how those ghostly roots continue to influence my own creative work.
Light your jack-o’-lantern and settle in… the shift starts now.
