Episode 5 - Creepy Paste

Just when you thought it was safe to take down the 12ft Skeleton, it’s time for Halloween Part 2 here at the Nightmare Cottage!

After a lighthearted follow-up lecture on the holiday’s history, the ladies lean back into the lurid for a look at some loathsome Halloween happenings. Tikes tricked into tasting treacherous treats, sex workers savaged for sampling sweets… Sheesh. It’s enough to make even a ghost writer buried beneath the floorboards of some f&@%ed up cottage weep. But hey – you seem like you’re into that kinda stuff, so you’ll probably love it.

Happy Halloween one and all!

Halloween 2 Electric Boogaloo

In this seasonally appropriate episode, the queens of the cottage treat you to some fun facts about the history of Halloween—

And trick themselves into taking another break from boxes.

Nym navigates the nebulous name of Samhain, and she spins some stories starring the Sidhe. Nylene notes the numerous nations which host their own frightful festivities, describing homecomings —both heavenly and hellish, ancient arbitrary animal abuse, and creepy carnivals honoring curious cryptids.

Episode 3 - Overly Jaunted

Overwhelmed by the unpacking of boxes, the ghoulfriends decide instead to unpack a few more so-called "cursed films".

A piece of lost media maybe motivates a manic man to murder. Then, a classic film's creation is considered under current-day concepts. Toxic touch-ups, Poorly-planned pyrotechnics, and on-set violence - Oh my!
