Spooky season is here! Nikki and Leah take this opportunity to bring their fears and phobias to the surface, mere hours before streaming horror games for charity. They discuss where fear stems from, how it might affect different the genders, and how fears might be combatted. In Science Section, Nikki explores why fear has evolved, while in Creative Corner Leah looks at the changing tropes within the horror genre.

The horror stream has been organised by Dan from the Real Life Ghost Stories podcast in aid of CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably). If you'd like to learn more, please visit www.justgiving.com/fundraising/31gamesofterror or www.thecalmzone.net.
