D and Candy V #9: What Scares You? - Halloween Special

From a warehouse basement on the wrong side of the tracks, D and Candy V dive deep into the psychology of fear in their first annual Halloween Special. What begins as a simple question—“What scares you?”—unfolds into a haunting exploration of nightmares, memory, and the uncanny.

They unpack everything from Kafka’s surreal horror to Black Mirror’s “Playtest,” from the weirdly creepy Super Mario 64’s haunted piano to cinematic classics like The Shining and Hereditary. Along the way, they confront themes of dementia, gaslighting, and losing one’s grip on reality—blurring the line between existential dread and supernatural fear.

This is not your average Halloween chat. It’s a philosophical séance, a darkly funny descent into what it means to be human in a world that sometimes doesn’t feel quite right.
