You can deny you're a horror fan all you like, but the numbers say otherwise.

Films like Scream VI and M3gan have been tearing up the box office, and horror has roughly doubled its market share in recent years.

At the same time, the content formerly known as 'the mainstream' keeps getting darker.

Juggernaut series such as The Last Of Us and Stranger Things aren't usually classed as horror, but their genre credentials are undeniable.

They're part of a new wave of popular film and TV that's thematically confronting, more violent, and spookier.

In this episode of Schmeitgeist, we find out what's behind our growing appetite for horror.

What does this new dark streak in our preferences say about us?
