What makes humans LOVE being scared? In this cozy and spooky episode of The Cozy Hollow Podcast, Molly and Kathy dive into the strange thrill of fear — from haunted houses and scary movies to childhood fears, jump scares, creepy legends, and the science behind why our brains actually enjoy a good scare.

Why do we peek through our fingers during horror movies? Why are scary stories so bonding? And why does every person suddenly become a warrior armed with a laundry basket when they hear a strange noise at night?

Join us as we explore fear, curiosity, nostalgia, funny phobias, childhood imagination, and the surprisingly human need to “peek into the dark.”

So grab a cozy blanket, turn on a lamp… and maybe don’t say Bloody Mary three times.
