  • Tarik Davis is Afraid of Flesh Eating Film

    High Camp, or Terrifying Nightmare? It's a fine line, explains Tarik Davis, about the deeply weird HBO horror classic short "Recorded Live," which Davis watched as a child and still is haunted by. Davis is an actor and writer who appears on the Amber Ruffin Show, and performs with Freestyle Love Supreme. He's gotten around, but as he tells Monica and Kaitlin this week, he still can't get over fears of being eaten alive by rolls of film.

About Scaredy Chat

From the publisher's feed

Are you afraid of the dark? Did Mars Attacks give you night terrors? Are you afraid of getting into your car alone at night? Or having to plan a perfect work party for 300 people with your job on the line? No one is perfect, well maybe Beyonce. But even as adults there is still plenty to be afraid of, from the rational to the irrational. Some of our fears stem from our childhood, and some of them we pick up along the way. Let Monica Suriyage (VICE, Refinery29, E! News) and Kaitlin Reilly (Bustle, Refinery29, The Dipp) be your sympathetic guides to exploring the fears that won’t seem to vacate your head. Part best friend therapist, part lovers of fear itself, these two will probe deep into the minds of their guests to unearth the roots of the founded and unfounded fears that we hold so close.
