Episode Synopsis

What is the scariest sound in a horror movie, anyway? Ever notice how the quietest moments in a movie feel the most intense? Shane Hewitt and James Deaville dive into the psychology of sound — how directors and composers use audio cues to create fear and anticipation. As a film sound scholar, James reveals why subtle noises like dripping water or footsteps can feel more unsettling than jump scares. Together, they explore how music persuades the mind, and why listening closely transforms the way we experience movies. GUEST: James Deaville Originally aired on 2025-10-29
