Finally, we have reached the conclusion of John Wayne Gacy's mad world. Honestly, this dude is a pig and we are so glad to be out of his headspace. In this episode, we discuss how he got caught, his insane confessions and his trial and subsequent imprisonment until his early death. Enjoy and make sure you hydrate. I feel like he's so gross, you should hydrate.

Tonight we brought in the big guns to spook us right the hell out. Our beloved Em Schulz from And That's Why We Drink joins us as we tell a trio of spooky ghost stories revolving around some seriously haunted locales in America. There are boys with no eyes, Lucy who won't take your shit and a possibly handsome vintage gentleman who maybe stands at the foot of your bed. Come on it, it's an awesome nightmare in here.

Tonight we continue our deep dive into the damp, smelly and super greasy world of John Wayne Gacy. Tonight's episode focuses on the abductions, the assaults and the murders that took place over a 6 year period in the mid to late 70s. This pig took the lives of 33 young, teenage boys and he did it in some of the most disturbing ways imaginable.

Fair warning, there are some descriptions and mentioning of sexual assault and rape.

Norway! We are covering a case from your beautiful land. July 22, 2011 started like any other day, with an island full of youth campers enjoying their time together and business as usual for the government district of Oslo. In the end, 77 innocent people lost their lives to the delusions and hatred of Anders Breivik.

This tale is bananas. Ezra McCandless AKA Monica showed up bloodied and dazed on the door of a stranger, claiming someone she knew had tried to kill her. But a look closer revealed the woman bleeding on the doorstep might actually be the monster she claims to be running from.

Finally, we reach the Killer Clown. John Wayne Gacy murdered at least 33 young, teenaged boys during his reign on terror. As a beloved member of his community, an active member in several community groups and a bonafide clown named Pogo, no one could have known that he was spending most of his time luring, raping and murdering young boys. Part 1 will cover Gacy's life up until his first 2 murders.

I wanted to name this episode "Leigh Whannell" but alas, I went a different path. Tonight in this special bonus episode, we talk about The Invisible Man with the always funny and always beautiful Johnny and Tyler from the That's Spooky podcast! It's quarantine, so why not just do alllll the content!

*******WARNING: Skip to around the 16 minute mark to skip over banter/discussion of RuPaul's Drag Race/Us discovering our drag identities. Your loss but we will understand if you just want to get to the meat of the episode! This was so much fun and we think you guys will love a little fun with the spooky! Enjoy!

During the Summer Solstice of 1996,  Karina Holmer, a 20 year old nanny from Sweden was found brutally slain, severed in half at the waist in a dumpster in Boston. Was it her host family from the wealthy town of Dover, Ma? Was it the mysterious man with the dog? Was it a strange rocker who lived nearby? This unsolved case haunts Boston to this day. Tonight, we don't figure it out but we sure try.

Tiger King was a trip. But what the hell happened to Don Lewis? A lot of speculation and a complete lack of evidence has made for a truly compelling mystery in the disappearance of Carole Baskin's second husband, Don. Tonight, we discuss the hype, the mystery and the craziness that is this case.
