It's Halloween season — and what better way to celebrate October 13th than to explore the haunting sound of fear? That's exactly what we do in this episode, where host<a href="https://www.npr.org/people/1082526815/regina-g-barber"target="_blank" > Regina G. Barber</a> and NPR science correspondent<a href="https://www.npr.org/people/348779465/nathan-rott"target="_blank" > Nate Rott</a> dive into the science behind the sound of fear. Along the way, they find out what marmot shrieks, baby cries and horror movie soundtracks have in common — and what all of this tells us about ourselves.
