Dr Grimmy Radio Show - Halloween Fear

Fear, Folklore, and Fatal Facts of Halloween

This weekend October 11, 2025, we’re diving headfirst into the dark side of Halloween, where fear isn’t just fun jump scares, but a whole science experiment playing out in your nervous system. Why do our brains crave creepy thrills? From goosebumps in haunted houses to that lizard-brain panic when you hear a floorboard creak, fear is wired to keep us alive, but also strangely entertained. Add in real Halloween murders that shook neighborhoods and you’ve got the chilling truth that sometimes the monster under the bed was actually next door. And of course, we can’t ignore the sticky cobwebs of urban legends: razor blades in candy, black-eyed children at the door, or that one friend who swears their cousin’s babysitter’s dog saw Bloody Mary. It’s psychology, true crime, and folklore all stirred together in one bubbling cauldron of spooky radio goodness. Tune in and give us a call.
