Show Notes:

This week I had the opportunity to speak with Dr. Coltan Scrivner about his new book Morbidly Curious: A Scientist Explains Why We Can’t Look Away, which is out tomorrow, October 6th. He told me how videogames like Resident Evil were his gateway into the macabre, what he’s learned in his research about why people love being scared, and the three different categories that people can be divided into. He also talked about how he started the Nightmare in the Ozarks Film Festival which is in its second year, why he likes going to haunts, and the surprising director whose horror movies he really loves.
