In the latest podcast episode of It’s (Probably) Not Rocket Science, Spooky Folklore and the Psychology of Horror take center stage in a unique, spooky trip down memory lane that fuses the worlds of ghostly New Mexican folklore and the psychology of horror films with the science of fear.

It is brought to life by ghostly host, Carly Bowling, and by experts and staff at The University of New Mexico including Gabino Noriega, a Ph.D. candidate in Chicano and Chicana Studies, and David Witherington, associate professor in the Department of Psychology. Listeners will be immersed in eerie stories and traditions of New Mexico, and then reach a better understanding of the most popular horror movies of today and the kinds of feelings the films aim to evoke.
