82: Not By the Hair on My Girdle, Girdle, Girdle...

This week we are a step beyond loopy as we dive into the folklore and media surrounding one of cinema and literature's most prolific monsters... the werewolf! Things get a bit hairy, but we managed to dissect these lovable villains to within an inch of their canines, and we even managed to laugh uncontrollably at some of the origin stories of these beloved creatures. Enjoy!

AND ALSO—We want to wish a very, very, VERY happy birthday to two of the spoopiest siblings us creeps could ever wish for... Happy birthday Barb and Kevin! We hope you get to sink your teeth into a delicious dessert today!

81: The Devil Whoopsies (The Conjuring)

Hey kids! This week we're doing a VERY deep dive into a now classic James Wan film—The Conjuring! We discuss everything from the original story that spawned the movie, to how tension made this movie spine-chilling, to just what the fork Lorraine was wearing when she got to Rhode Island... Enjoy!

80: Coco For Cuckoo Poops (Evil Genius)

This week Sam and Pissi are discussing the infamous true crime story that shocked onlookers from all over the country as they watched a bank robbery go catastrophically wrong—the Bomb Collar Bank Heist, which was famously investigated in the docuseries released by Netflix, "Evil Genius". They'll also be chatting about the iPhone 8 Pissi's strapping to her body and an amazing gift from a dedicated listener! Enjoy!

79: This is for You, Diane! (with Peaches Christ)

This week the we read a follow up to a listener story, wish a very happy birthday/anniversary to some special listeners, and are then joined by the premiere spook queen of San Francisco—writer, director, filmmaker, producer, and all around amazing artist Peaches Christ! We discuss everything from how Midnight Mass became a cult sensation in San Francisco, how she managed to get Natasha Lyonne to star in her movie, and what happens when she takes her mom to see shock performance artist Christeene on a drag cruise... you do NOT want to miss this one!

78: Karen? (The Lady in White)

Everyone seems to have a piece of hometown folklore about a ghostly woman in a white dress who met a tragic end, moping through the afterlife in search of some lost token. This week Sam and Pissi are discussing the omnipotent folklore of the lady in white—including some famous accounts, possible origins, and why they're no good at barbecues. We're also sharing some listener commentary, including a possible Big Foot encounter!

77: The Return of the Return of Dick Warlock (April Fool's Day)

This week we're celebrating the Jackass of national holidays... April Fool's Day! And what better way to celebrate than by reviewing the 1986 clusterf**k of the same name? Please enjoy our discussion about Ken Olandt's unfortunate return, whether or not anything in this movie was actually plausible, and how the movie could have been improved by the appearance of Dick Warlock.

76: Gravy is Beige (The Staircase)

We're excited to be back this week with another very confusing and bizarre true crime case—the case of Michael Peterson, the man who was investigated in the docuseries "The Staircase". Sam and Pissi discuss everything from the case against him, to the controversial "Owl Theory", to just what color gravy is supposed to be. Enjoy, and let us know your thoughts!

75: The King of the Oblivious (Leprechaun)

Happy Saint Patrick's Day, spoops! Sam and Pissi are celebrating with everyone's (least?) favorite ode to the Irish in the horror lexicon... Leprechaun!

74: Jerry Just Wants a Friend (Jersey Devil)

Hey kids! This week we're investigating a local legend here in NJ with another cryptid episode! We're venturing down to Leeds Point, NJ to figure out just what kind of monster would have the head of a dog, the face of a horse, the legs of a goat, and the tail of a lizard. Chances are, it's the Jersey Devil!

73: It's Just the Gas! (Little Shop of Horrors)

This week, since the snow is clearing up and we're seeing some green around town, we decided to watch an old favorite scifi/horror/comedy/musical... Little Shop of Horrors! We discuss everything from our current reading list, to why we're cranky old women, and top it off with a long, hysterical dissection of the 1986 Frank Oz creature feature, based on the 1982 off-broadway musical, that made everyone fall in love with Ellen Green, Rick Moranis, and a wily alien fly trap.
