From Bloody Mary to backseat killers, pop rocks to haunted staircases—this week on The Scaryverse, we’re diving headfirst into the eerie world of urban legends. 👻

Join Row as we explore the chilling origins, real-life cases, and cultural impact of the stories we whisper in the dark. Are they just scary bedtime tales… or cautionary warnings hiding something real?

🔪 Featuring:
– The psychology behind why we love scary stories
– Legends that might actually be true (Cropsey, Bunny Man, Wendigo)
– The internet’s scariest creations (Slender Man, Randonautica, The Backrooms)
– Rituals, mirror games, and the classics that still haunt us

Plus: Horror Homework and listener prompts to keep the scares going long after the episode ends.

Don’t forget to check the backseat. And whatever you do… don’t say her name in the mirror.

What happens when the internet takes justice into its own hands? In this episode, Row dives into the rise of online detectives — the good, the bad, and the very, very chaotic. We cover the rumors of a serial killer in New England, the psychology behind sleuthing, and how cases like Gabby Petito, Delphi, and the Idaho 4 unfolded online.

But most importantly, we ask: how do we honor victims without turning their stories into entertainment?

💀 Real stories. Real harm. Real responsibility.
🎙️ Welcome to The Scaryverse.

🖤 Let’s talk about the weirdly healing power of horror comfort movies. In this episode, I’m sharing the horror films I turn to when I need comfort—not in spite of the scares, but because of them. We’re diving into the psychology of why horror can feel safe, familiar, and even therapeutic when life feels chaotic.

🔪 Whether it’s the predictability of a slasher, the nostalgia of a favorite franchise, or the emotional release of a good scream, these spooky picks help regulate anxiety, offer escape, and remind us we’re not alone in our fear.

🎃 I’m also breaking down the science behind why some people find horror soothing—from catharsis to control to the power of a well-timed jump scare.

💬 What horror movie brings you comfort? Drop it in the comments—I want to know what makes you feel safe in the scary.
