The Possession of Anneliese Michel Scares Us
Hello Dear Listeners,
Are you enjoying the increasing daylight and all of the new life brought by spring? Do you wish things were still dark and spooky? Well fear not because we have a real scare fest for you this episode! We are discussing a truly tragic case of demon possession (!!Warning!! we do play a clip from an actual exorcism in this episode).
The case of Anneliese Michel came about at the height of all things possession, The Exorcist, Rosemary's Baby, and The Omen were all released around the time of this tragic event. So join us as we explore what was truly a tragic life, and a disturbing death with no clear answers.
Katya and Laramie do keep things fun in this episode, and give many listener shout-outs! (we love you) Laramie transports you to Germany courtesy of Baron Von Candy Corn, Katya admits (finally) that she: "is not science", plus you get to hear from Ryan our "Catholic On The Street".

Episode 15: London After Midnight
Visual reference from Episode 15: Here's good ol' Lon Chaney (Sr.! father to Lon "I'm the Wolfman, Ask Me How" Chaney, Jr.) in London After Midnight, unfortunately lost to history. The man was the king of horror makeup; wires around the eyes aside, you just know that those teeth could not have felt good.

The Horrors of Hybridity Scare Us
Hi Dear Listeners,
We are enjoying the slow transition to spring and are excited to be releasing a new episode to all of you. There have been many changes in our lives and we are excited to share them with you!
In this episode Katya and Laramie talk about why werewolves, manitous, and any shape-shifter should scare you. Hybrids are a common theme in horror and there is likely a larger context behind that. Katya and Laramie talk about all of the ways that hybrids show up in the history of horror. So come join us as we decide if werewolves are cannibals or not!
Also, Katya attempts tongue twisters and Laramie talks about his academic writing.
