Liz Acosta Liz is a doctoral student in the Fine Arts Doctoral Program at Texas Tech University, studying Music and Psychology as well as managing the Performing Arts Research Lab. Currently, her research interests are the interplay between music, sound, and visuals in the horror genre, specifically horror films. Her project explores the cognitive and psychophysiological processes involved in “jump scares” – moments of intense visual or auditory stimuli. Liz's love of horror stems from her mother's equal (if not greater) love of horror films; the first horror film they watched together was The Others (2001) starring Nicole Kidman. |
