The Substitute

As a blend of Comedy, Fantasy, and Horror, 'The Substitute' primarily elicits **Fear** and **Anxiety** from the menacing alien teacher and the children's precarious situation. This tension is frequently undercut by **Humor**, stemming from the absurd premise of children battling an alien while adults remain oblivious. **Surprise** and **Curiosity** are also prominent as the audience discovers the teacher's powers and intentions. Additionally, **Anger** and **Empathy** are felt for the children facing a cruel, mind-reading alien, while **Anticipation** builds as the plot progresses towards their attempts to expose her.
