I could not write these words without my family. My father, Charlie McDonald, wakes up way too early, goes to work, and comes home way too late. He sacrifices to ensure that his three sons live better lives than his. His love is a daily practice. I love you, Dad. I love you more every single day. I am lucky to be writing these words and even luckier to be your son. My grandfathers, Warren Brooks and Norbert Laengrich, are beacons of familial stability. They have done nothing but invest in family. I would not be here without their love and support. Dr. Frank Thompson is nothing short of an extraordinary model to which I ascribe every day. His passion for learning, his patience in the face of adversity, and his willingness to listen have taught me more than he will ever know. I would not be here without you, Frank. I could not write these words without Susanne Harrison. Thank you for sending me on these crazy trains of forensics and higher education. I cannot imagine a life without your influence. Thank you to my other mothers who ensured that I would grow to be a productive and respectful man: Jerry Brooks, Gina Sellers, Leigh Ann Luna, Lucille Laengrich, Linda Seals, Debbie Elkins, Lynette Hatch, and Mandy & Rachel Sargeant. Finally, I love my brothers. I may be the luckiest person on earth to call them family. Taylor and Blake, you are amazing people, and you both deserve nothing but the very best. I am beyond lucky have you all as family. I am also beyond lucky to have an advisor who sacrificed part of her sabbatical to ensure that this project could happen. Thank you, Dr. Tracy Stephenson Shaffer, for your enduring patience when others would have given up. Thank you for believing in me—not just obliging. It fills me with joy to know that I have published because of you. I hope this process (like the horror film) remains a guilty pleasure of your scholarship. iv Louisiana State University has graced me with amazing faculty. Thank you to my committee, Trish Suchy, John Fletcher, and Alexandre Leupin, for your invaluable feedback. Thank you Ruth & Michael Bowman, Nathan Crick, John Protevi, Roland Mitchell, Graham Bodie, Kent Filbel, and Loretta Pecchioni. Thank you, Erik Abshire, for every single thing you have done. The LSU Speech Team lives on because of you and because of everything you have generously contributed. You are amazing. You endured when others gave up. It has been an absolute pleasure to work alongside you and to learn from you. I would not be writing these words without you. Thank you, Eddie Gamboa, for putting up with everything. Your intellect is absurd. (You really are too smart for your own good.) Your passion is contagious. And your convictions about knowledge and the process of learning are rare. You will do amazing things, and I wish nothing but the very best for you. Thank you for everything that you have brought to my life. Thank you to the examples, guides, and mentors: Dr. Ari Gratch, Dr. Lynsday Michalik, Dr. Mike Rold, Dr. Danielle McGeough, Dr. Ryan McGeough, Dr. Benjmain Haas, Dr. Joe Rhodes, Dr. Nance Riffe, Dr. Jason Black, Dr. Robyn Boylorn, Dr. Mark Nelson, Dr. Ashley Mack, Dr. Bryan McCann, Kaitlin Cannava, Doug Mungin, and Bonny McDonald.

Thank you to any and all members of the LSU Mixon Lyceum Speech & Debate Team. You deserve more money. I am honored to have served as your coach.

  • A Psychology of Possession

    A Psychology of Possession

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Wales Trinity Saint David A PSYCHOLOGY OF POSSESSION DR PETER CONNOLLY Introduction : The Nature of Trance Although widespread, the phenomenon of possession does not appear in all cultures. This suggests that possession is a cultural artefact, either in the strong sense of being nothing more than a cultural creation or in the weaker one of culture moulding and shaping universal psychological processes in socially relevant ways. My own approach to understanding possession lies very much within the framework of the weaker version. The hypothesis I will seek to develop is essentially that the phenomena of possession are best understood in terms of the psychological processes associated with the term ‘trance’. I use this term deliberately and in full awareness of the reservations about its usefulness expressed by some psychologists. Among hypnosis researchers there are three broad approaches to explaining the nature of trance. The first is that which emphasises socio-cognitive factors such as role play and imaginative involvement in suggested experiences. In short, this approach explains away any feature of trance which provides it with a distinctive character. This view would be compatible with what I have called the strong version of cultural artifactualism. Another approach emphasizes that trance is a genuine altered state of consciousness which differs from ordinary consciousness in a variety of ways, most notably in that reflexive, executive or ego consciousness – what many hypnotists call ‘the conscious mind’ – is dissociated from unconscious processes. The third approach is more diffuse, combining the first two explanations and, depending on the writer, perhaps adding a few other elements to produce a kind of multi-variable theory.

    A Dark New World : Anatomy of Australian Horror Films

    A dark new world: Anatomy of Australian horror films Mark David Ryan Faculty of Creative Industries, Queensland University of Technology A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the degree Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), December 2008 The Films (from top left to right): Undead (2003); Cut (2000); Wolf Creek (2005); Rogue (2007); Storm Warning (2006); Black Water (2007); Demons Among Us (2006); Gabriel (2007); Feed (2005). ii KEY WORDS Australian horror films; horror films; horror genre; movie genres; globalisation of film production; internationalisation; Australian film industry; independent film; fan culture iii ABSTRACT After experimental beginnings in the 1970s, a commercial push in the 1980s, and an underground existence in the 1990s, from 2000 to 2007 contemporary Australian horror production has experienced a period of strong growth and relative commercial success unequalled throughout the past three decades of Australian film history. This study explores the rise of contemporary Australian horror production: emerging production and distribution models; the films produced; and the industrial, market and technological forces driving production. Australian horror production is a vibrant production sector comprising mainstream and underground spheres of production. Mainstream horror production is an independent, internationally oriented production sector on the margins of the Australian film industry producing titles such as Wolf Creek (2005) and Rogue (2007), while underground production is a fan-based, indie filmmaking subculture, producing credit-card films such as I know How Many Runs You Scored Last Summer (2006) and The Killbillies (2002). Overlap between these spheres of production, results in ‘high-end indie’ films such as Undead (2003) and Gabriel (2007) emerging from the underground but crossing over into the mainstream.

With the pandemic still trekking on, it’s important to keep yourself safe during the spooky season. Taking precautions, like washing your hands and wearing masks, will ensure you stay healthy and well. Many people are debating whether Halloween should be cancelled due to COVID-19. Corporations and businesses that rely on the holiday are hoping to keep the customs alive. Candy manufacturers, costume designers, and even the movie industry all look to Halloween as their big boom in business. The cancellation of Halloween will also impact the kids that see the day as a joy. In an interview with The New York Times, Dr. Gosh said, “I think completely taking away Halloween could be detrimental to some of the mental health issues that kids are facing right now.” Halloween is an outlet for kids to express their creativity and have some fun. This Halloween, the Centers for Disease Control recommend trick-or-treating be minimized and controlled. Wearing masks, gloves, and bringing hand sanitizer is the safest way to still go out, as well as staying six feet apart from other goers and setting candy bags outside to grab quickly.
  • During the Pandemic I've Maintained My Sanity by Completing Jigsaw

    During the Pandemic I've Maintained My Sanity by Completing Jigsaw

    1 During the pandemic I’ve maintained my sanity by completing jigsaw puzzles. However, they also came close to making me lose my sanity a time or two. The first one I completed was “The Day the Angels Cried.” I’ve looked for that puzzle for years and finally got it. It took me three months to put it together and at the end it was missing one piece! I wrote the company, but they didn’t have another copy of that puzzle. I was heartbroken. To make up for it they sent me the “Hometown Heroes” puzzle. It took me a couple of months to complete it. I framed it in an old barn wood frame and donated it to our local volunteer fire department for them to hang it in their firehouse or auction it off at their yearly fundraising event. Their choice. My bathroom is decorated New Orleans style, so my third puzzle was the “Bourbon Street” puzzle. It was amazingly easy! It only took me a month to complete it. I framed it in black and it’s now hanging in my bathroom. My current project is the cat puzzle. I couldn’t figure out what to work on next so I asked a dear friend if she would like a cat puzzle. The kids in her apartment complex call her “the crazy cat lady,” so I thought she might be interested, and she was. It’s been pretty difficult so far and will get much more difficult when I get to working on the black cat.

The movie is based on William Peter Blatty' s book, The Exorcist, which relates a reported experience in 1949 of a demon-possessed 14 year old boy living in Mt. Ranier, Maryland, adjacent to Washington, D. C. Blatty was a student at Georgetown University at that time and attended a series of lectures by a Jesuit R.C . priest, Franci s Galiger, who centered his lectures on a case s tudy of this 14 year old boy. Phillip Hannon, now in Orleans, was in the Washington diocese when the exorcism of the boy was originally performed. The archbishop contends that Blatty has committed a real travisty with the historical facts of the case of the exorcism.
