Thank you for your support! I feel that anyone who is willing to invest in my endeavors deserves something in return. Therefore, this introductory tier grants you:
- Access to a Private Discord Channel only for Patrons on the Beauty of Horror Community Discord server!
- A spot with your name on the Patreon backers page on my website https://www.shockaholic.org and on the show notes of each regular episode of The Beauty of Horror on the Anatomy of a Scream Pod Squad network.
- A monthly Patreon Exclusive mini-podcast called, The Good, The Agreeable, & The Beautiful. Each episode will consist of a short film review that will measure the film based on three of Immanuel Kant's aesthetic judgements: Goodness, Agreeableness, and Beauty.
These three metrics will serve as an alternative to the usual star rating system. Instead, I will unpack whether I find the film Good (based on how good it is as a film), Agreeable (if it is my taste or not, and why), and/or Beautiful (based on the philosophical definitions discussed throughout The Beauty of Horror).
