Why Do We Like Scary Things

from It’s a Fandom Thing

We continue horror month with a look at why we like watching and reading things that scare us. Carla, from Bed, Wed, or Behead Pod, and Tiff join Erin to discuss why they think people like to be scared, the catharsis some people get from horror, talk about how horror can explore political and social issues, and mention why they personally liked to watch and read scary stuff.
