A masked killer stalking his prey in the dead of night. Ravenous zombies clawing at the door. A ghost jumping out of the darkness. If we encountered any of these things in real life, we’d likely run away screaming. Put them in a movie and we’re onboard.

“Nightmare on Main Street” invites you to join physical anthropologist us for a very special screening of “Ghosts of Napa Valley.” Explore what is it about our brains, our psychology and our culture that has us excited to get scared?

Following the film Dr. Scott will be in attendance to unravel the science of being afraid, one scare at a time.
