Dancing with the Devil: Ballet's History & Relationship with Horror | Minisode w/ Maegan

In this minisode, join Maegan as she goes back to her ballet roots to really dive into ballet and its history and relationship with horror, what is it about ballet that is so enchanting yet inherently terrifying, and even some psychoanalysis of some of our favorite ballet-centric horror movies like Black Swan, Suspria, and Red Shoes.

The Clever Ghouls podcast, hosted by Maegan and Blair, is a show dedicated to watching, analyzing, and discussing the movies that make us think about them long after we’ve left the theater or turned off the TV. We bring quick wit and unique perspectives from backgrounds like art history, cinematography, psychology, analysis, public education, mysticism, mythos, and more to create a curated, inclusive conversation around the spooky movies we love. Tune in on your favorite podcast hosting platform to listen along, join the conversation, and chime in with your own observations!

Our intro and outro music was created for us by Josh Marshall. For more episodes and other spooky content, find us on your favorite social media platform through our handle: @CleverGhouls.
