169: The Movies* That Made Us
This week we discuss the freaky formative entertainment that we liked in childhood because it scared us just a little bit (or a lot).
Anyone remember the mannequin that just wants to be real on Today's Special? Or did you also have a Bert and Ernie Halloween cassette tape? SHIVER.

168: Underground Nightmares
In Will's final episode before parental leave, we talk about some of the horrors happening beneath our feet: in mines, caves, etc.
(Will's going underground...get it?)
Kristen digs into the story of the secret crystal city under a California mountain and the popular theory that the map of missing people lines up neatly with the map of uncharted cave systems.
Will digs into how horrifying caves have been depicted in movies like The Descent and My Bloody Valentine!

161: Mount Washington Hotel
Rumor has it that the Mount Washington Hotel is part of the inspiration behind Stephen King and Stanley Kubrick's versions of The Shining.
And for good reason. Not only is this place supposedly haunted by the ghost of Carolyn Stickney, but it's also PACKED with people who like to wear masks and have a ball!
It's also a hot spot for ghost hunting shows and spooky TripAdvisor reviews. Let's just see what we can make of all these stories...

160: Arctic Horror
Can you sense it? The winds are changing, becoming harsh with cold.
Let's learn what's hiding in the snow and hopefully survive this final season of 2020 by talking about Inuit and Norse folklore. They really know how to make a monster, whew!
