Why We Love Being Scared: A Conversation with Psychologist and Author Coltan Scrivner

We humans have always been fascinated by the things that frighten us. In this episode of Weird Historian, Marc Hartzman speaks with psychologist Coltan Scrivner, author of Morbidly Curious: A Scientist Explains Why We Can’t Look Away (Penguin Books), about why we are drawn to horror films, haunted houses, and true crime, what our fascination with the macabre reveals about human nature, and much more.  Learn more and order the book at ColtanScrivner.com [https://www.coltanscrivner.com] Sign up for Coltan Scrivner’s Morbidly Curious Thoughts [https://www.morbidlycuriousthoughts.com] Substack .

Freaky Things and Live Shows: George the Giant’s Strange Museum of Oddities and Wonders

Meet George “The Giant” McArthur, a sideshow performer who swallows swords, eats fire, pounds nails into his nose—and collects oddities. Oh, and he was also in Tim Burton’s wonderful film, Big Fish. We first met more than 20 years ago at showman Bobby Reynold’s home while I was writing American Sideshow. As Halloween nears, he’s opening George the Giant’s Strange Museum of Oddities and Wonders for the 7th year in Bakersfield, California. Among those oddities and wonders are two-headed animals, breast milk soap, a killer bat, paintings made in human blood, true crime objects, and as you’ll hear from George, much more.  If you’d like to hear about how George got started in the world of sideshow, please check out my other podcast, co-hosted with sword swallower Dan Meyer, To The Hilt [https://open.spotify.com/show/5f4uImjpm6TOicpyadvL1J].
