Not just a haunted house.

So to generalize from that to other forms of shared fear could be illuminating.

For example, adventure sports like skydiving, like I mentioned, or even virtual reality simulations, which can be pretty scary.

And Steve, that made me think of your example of doing a zombie VR game and how amazingly scary it was because it was just like in your face right there.

Mm-hmm.

And realistic enough to really, you know, get your blood pumping right.

Remember that?

So the researchers also say that taking together these kind of recreational fears could have relevance to fields like relationship therapy, team building interventions, even entertainment design itself.

There we are.

Fascinating study.

I was thinking, should I keep this till October?

You know, it's like, it's going to be evergreen.

You'll find something else.

Now we're halfway, we're halfway to Halloween.

This is a good time to talk about it.

So this was a fun study.

Authoritie.

Like a special case.

Right.

High velocity, high gravity.
