An episode from 10/27/22: Tonight, I talk about our love horror and true crime, and ask: what makes a story truly frightening, instead of just entertaining? What kinds of movies or books, or ways of storytelling, take us beyond entertainment to true horror, to actual fear? For instance, how does the disturbing story of Ed Gein end up, filtered through convention and expectation, as \\u201cstandard\\u201d (even if classic) movies like Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and The Silence of the Lambs?
