    The Evolution of Fear

    There’s something about storytelling and humanity’s fascination with fear that go hand in hand. For centuries, we’ve orated and written about the things that go bump in the night — those creatures, people, and monsters that make our skin crawl and prompt us to scoot a little closer together in the dark. For this episode of Arts, Interrupted, the team comes together to investigate what it is about horror films that make us so scared, how they’ve changed since their inception, and what the state of fear is right now. Featuring a special interview with English professor and horror expert Gina Brandolino. Written by Beat Editors Addie Nicolaou and Tessa Valera-Castro, and Content Producers Madison Austin and Ryne Van Andel. Written, produced, and engineered by Executive Producer Matthew Popp.
