Are you scared of a horror movie...or scared of what's inside yourself? How can frightening stories make us feel better? And what does our fascination with monsters tell us about being human?

Just in time for Halloween, I'm joined by my friend Ashe J Sass of "Spooky Scholars" to explore why we create horror, why we keep returning to it, and what our fears might tell us about ourselves...especially if the real monster isn't even on the screen.
