Inside the World’s First Horror Studies Center — and Why It’s in Pittsburgh; Pennsylvanians Face Steep Health Insurance Premium Increases for 2026
(00:00:00)
At the University of Pittsburgh, fear has found a new home — in academia. The university is now home to the world’s first academic center dedicated to the study of horror, exploring how the genre reflects society’s deepest anxieties and historical traumas.
(00:22:19)
Pennsylvania residents could see major jumps in their health insurance premiums next year, according to Pennsylvania Insurance Commissioner Michael Humphreys. “The rate increases are pretty significant,” Humphreys said, attributing much of the rise to federal inaction. “Pennsylvanians and insurers in Pennsylvania face serious challenges due to Congress's failure to extend enhanced premium tax credits before open enrollment.”
