Summary

Why do we like to be scared? With Halloween just passed I want to understand the human desire to be afraid. Sure, there is an adrenaline rush, but is there more? I chat with children & young adult spooky story author Dan Poblocki to to discuss when and why we fascinate ourselves with this genre. For many it leads to a life long obsession and as a life-long horror movie enthusiast myself - this is just what I needed to hang my hat on the scary season.
