S5 Ep215: Episode 215: Mad Scientist Horror Stories

Mad scientists terrify us because they embody the darkest possibilities of human ambition—brilliant minds unshackled by morality, driven by an insatiable hunger for knowledge and power. Unlike traditional monsters, they are not bound by supernatural forces but by their own arrogance, making them eerily plausible. They twist science into a weapon, blurring the line between progress and horror, often justifying atrocities in the name of discovery. Their unpredictability, whether coldly calculating or consumed by obsession, makes them especially dangerous, reminding us that the greatest threats may come not from the unknown, but from our own creations.
