Welcome to the first episode as The Spooky Scholars Podcast! In this episode we learn more about the effect of the uncanny valley. We look at how this psychological phenomenon is at play and working to add layer of creep to your favourite films. Also, we do a deep dive into the use of the effect in M3gan and a peak at how this all applies to our favourite puppet horror like Annabelle and Chucky. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/spookyscholars/message
