From Ted Education:
At this very moment, people are lining up somewhere to scare themselves, be it with a thrill-ride or a horror movie. In fact, in October of 2015 alone, about 28 million people visited a haunted house in the US. But you might wonder: What could possibly be fun about being scared? Margee Kerr examines the biology and psychology behind what makes fear so fun.

From Michael Mac:
Managed to throw together a quick remix for Halloween with a track from one of my favourite games, Luigi’s Mansion. Been busy working on a secret project that I can’t officially announce yet but I should be able to get back into regular video making soon! Wanted to put a glow-in-the-dark pick I got from Hufschmid Plectrums to use but it doesn’t really glow in my regular lighting, so I forced some super dark shots in there to show off what it can do. Not sure if it’ll be a regular thing, had to ‘recharge’ it between every take haha.

Words don’t pop up fully formed… they evolve over thousands of years. What can we learn about our relationship to monsters by tracking the word down into the distant past?

I just love British people, and one of my dreams is to fly over the Atlantic pond and travel through all of Britain for a few months. If I ever decide to make the move, meaning when my kids are old enough so I can safely leave home for a while, I’ll make sure to go through all of Anglophenia’s videos to acclimate myself to the culture.
In this particular episode of the show, Siobhan Thompson goes through a few rather tame and safe for work British insults, which are always good to know if they’re thrown at you while you’re in the UK.
I also have to say that this lady is probably the most adorable and cute British geek on the planet. There, I said it. :)
