Part two of my thesis!!! Illuminating Terror: The Transformative Power of Lighting in Horror was an exploration into how lighting can create terror and suspense. A process that was super fun, fulfilling, and exciting to work through. Inspiration came from many sources, including House of Leaves, the Haunting of Hill House, the Humans, Grey House, and so much more.

Big shout out to my cast: Abbie, Liam, Tommaso, Evan, and a special voiceover by Cooper. I could not have done it without y’all and I’m so grateful for your creativity, ideas, and passion.
