Our only real downside is that Frye really doesn't like horror and it's up to Russ to drag him along, kicking and screaming. Our setting is upstate New York in 1843 and our theme is witchcraft. This is all feeling very familiar. Pun...

Send us Fan Mail Russ went to Vegas this week, so you're getting more of our outtake dreck. We'll be back next week with our usual nonsense.
