[ Video Version ] There are real, inhuman vampires among us. Tens of thousands in the USA alone. At least, that's the claim of the documentary (?) gem Vampires in America on Discovery Plus! We'll walk you through this oddity of a TV special and dig into what's real, who actually believes what, and whether there's cause for concern. (There is not, we are all fine.)

[ Video Version ] He hasn't been seen around here for years, but he's back! #TheMothman is one of the best know and most beloved creatures of the modern era. And I think we finally know what he is. Theories abound in this one!

[ Video Version ] WAY back when we were still in single-digits, we covered the gargantuan story of The Mothman in a tight 30-minute window. He barely fit. That's why we're REVISITING #TheMothman THIS FRIDAY on a NEW episode where he gets a full hour to himself! But until then, enjoy this flashback to the way we were when we were fledgling explorers of the unknown. See you soon, mothy For full sour...

[ Video Version ] The podcast which you are about to see is an account of the tragedy which befell a pair of siblings, in particular Kristen Anderson and her idiot brother, William. This week we are trying to sew back together the DISGUSTING MESS of a franchise that at least gave the world Leatherface! Uh, it also gave us Chop Top, Tinker, Grandpa, Nubbins, and a thousand other relatives who steal...

[ Video Version ] Every now and then we like to focus on hauntings, legends, and cryptids from a particular place. Historically we choose somewhere that, based on our listener statistics, doesn't listen to us much. This week, we're rewarding the state that listens to us the most: CALIFORNIA! Los Angeles and San Francisco, in particular, seem to be populated with GTTU heads. Lets look at the horrif...

[ Video Version ] MEOW! aaaaaaahhhhhhhhh The Grudge is a film series that famously scares poor Willy out of his gourd. Does Kristen feel the same way? And where did this curse begin? Obviously in the Ju-On series, right? Or...does it go further back??

[ Video Version ] Special thanks to listener Matthew Degen for this week's episode art! On our latest Patreon bonus show, we competed against one another to see what we'd talk about on the main show this week! Did Will...lose? NO! But somehow this week we're focusing on moments from the "Real Housewives" series where psychics give readings and Halloween parties are thrown...and NO ONE is happy. Ju...

[ Video Version ] When Kristen checked our PO box, what did she find? Books about southern US hauntings from long long ago! (Thank you, Andrea!) We decided to read some stories, hopefully give proper historical context (because YIKES), and find out who the hell Jeffrey is! SPOILER ALERT: He's the thing in the episode artwork! That's about it!

[ Video Version ] As the internet went mainstream, horror tried to capitalize...unfortunately, they had zero idea how the 'net worked. Feardotcom and Hellraiser: Hellworld did their best.

[ Video Version ] For years, we've discussed tackling Greek mythology. It's SUCH a fascinating topic, but SO enormous. Well guess what? The time has come. We've each picked goddesses, creatures, and monsters. Hekate, Medusa, Persephone, Sirens, it's just all SO wild. Let's go!

[ Video Version ] Ghostbusters: Afterlife comes out this weekend, and Will is absolutely sponging up everything he possibly can, so this week's show is all about the secret backstories of ghosts from the franchise.
