Episode86: Addicted to Evil: Why We’re Hooked on Serial Killers

We say it’s “just curiosity”… but let’s be real — we’re addicted to the thrill. From Dahmer to Gacy, Netflix and Peacock have turned murder into binge-worthy entertainment, and we’re all pressing play like it’s self-care. But why? What makes us fascinated by the darkest corners of humanity? Why do we feel safe watching horror as long as it’s someone else’s nightmare? In this episode of Talk to Me Michele, I’m diving deep into our obsession with serial killers — the psychology, the danger, and the dopamine hit we pretend isn’t there. We’ll unpack why fear feels good, how Hollywood cashes in on our morbid curiosity, and what this says about the world we live in today. It’s real talk, raw truth, and just the right amount of spooky. Because let’s be honest… It’s all fun and games until the documentary starts to feel a little too familiar.         Use Spotify for this answer
