The Horror You Know

We kick off Cryptozoology Month with the Wendigo!

Like talking about horny flesh eaters and flaming skulls with nuts in their mouth? Well, this episode might be right up your alley.

To coincide with the Wendigo, we also discuss the 2021 film Antlers.

Get your inner Norwegian demons ready for this crazy tale of betrayal and murder at 120 rpms. We are going to go into the intriguing story of the "true Norwegian Black Metal" scene, the tragic history of the band Mayhem,  and listen to a story of how some people take things just a little too far.

Got a sweet tooth? Do you love bees? Maybe you are missing a hand. If any of this is true, then this episode is for you!

This week, Ian Wells assumes hosting duties as he takes us behind the history of the 1992 horror classic Candyman!

We talk about Clive Barker's work which the film is based on; the real life story of Ruthie Mae McCoy & the Cabrini Green Medicine Cabinet Murders; Dean Corll — the "Candy Man" killer; and we also get into some of the famous urban legends that loosely inspired the movie, including Bloody Mary and the Hook Man.

If you want to hear us chat on all that and plenty more, tune in now and be... our... victim! We dare you to listen to this episode 5 times.

This week's episode is out of this world as we make our first venture into outer space, UFOs, and aliens. We ponder the final frontier, its vastness, and the probability of life existing outside of Earth. We also swap some UFO stories before diving into the main topic: FIRE IN THE SKY. 

Fire in the Sky, the 1993 film, recounts one of the most famous alien abduction stories of an Arizona logger named Travis Walton. We also read excerpts from Travis's autobiographical book of the same name. 

How credible is his story? Do you believe him? Do you believe in life in outer space? Come ponder all these heavy questions with us on The Horror You Know!

It's Ian's turn to cover the broad strokes on this deep dive into depravity.  Talk about gettin' the shaft!  This week Ian T. lays it down for us with a lengthy story about one of the most infamous 'plumbers' in film history. This story has substance.  It has girth.  It probably has an STD!  It is the meatiest story to come down the pipe in a long time!

The suspects get more 'sus' giving Ian mire room to ramble.  Who do you think the Zodiac Killer was? The world may never know. (esp. after listening to this pod! LOL)

Our last entry for Serial Killer Month takes us back to the swinging 60's as we cover the «—§†^#   ¡†××»¥  — for all of our Jr. Cipher Solvers, that translates to the "Zodiac Killer"

Ian takes us along on the case of the mysterious man whose killing spree terrorized Northern California for decades. We also compare the events with how they were depicted in the 2007 David Fincher-directed film Zodiac. 

So if you have a passion for cryptology, handwriting analysis, and random brutal murder — or are Ted Cruz — then this is the episode for you!

Come on Aileen! (Whoa)...I swear well he means!  This is the true story of Aileen Wuornos, the ugly truth behind Charlize Theron and her turn in the Monster, and what we actually think of the real lady behind the mayhem.

Get a new suit for the Holidays?  Bet it doesn't compare to the suit that Little Eddie Gein made for himself!  Come along as we discuss all of the gory details of little Eddie Gein's life.
