We also dig into the psychology of fear — exploring why scary movies are so addictive, what they reveal about us, and how The Conjuring became one of the most successful horror franchises of all time. From jump scares to real-life hauntings, we unpack the mix of storytelling, marketing, and cultural timing that made these films resonate.
