Halloween--as in October 31, 2021--may be over.

But for fans of horror, it never really ends.

Our previous Over Coffee® episode, "Creatives at Halloween", explored creating scary experiences from a maker perspective.This week, for one more "scare" before we move on, we'll look at three other aspects of "scary" creativity.

Interactivity, storytelling and the psychology of the scare are in the spotlight--courtesy of Fun Train VR CEO Douglas Nabors, filmmaker/The Brain Factory co-owner Jon Schnitzer, and legendary scare actor/educator Shar Mayer.

So--boo! And enjoy.

A look at Fun Train VR's hit virtual-reality game, "The Exorcist: Legion VR";

A preview of Fun Train's just-announced, scary new title, based on a beloved classic and scheduled for 2022 release!;

The principles that guided Jon, in creating his top-rated documentary "Haunters: The Art of the Scare";

How one factor in Jon's production process can also lead to creating a great haunt experience;

Shar's strategy, for an effective "scare";

And, her professional standards, for creating something scary!
