Why do some of us love being scared, while others can’t even watch a crime show before bed?

Just in time for Halloween, journalist, author, and X-Ray Vision co-host Rosie Knight returns to talk about our strange relationship with horror. From the movies that frightened us as kids to the books that still keep us awake, we explore what makes horror so irresistible, why knowing how the scares work doesn’t always help, and what a chainsaw-wielding maniac might have to teach us about hope.

Plus, crawl spaces. Rosie has questions about crawl spaces. Frankly, so do we.
