E84 A Powerful Chicken and a Techno Haunting
Come closer…. we have a secret to tell you… we're certainly not going to vomit a chicken into your mouth. This week Em takes us step-by-step through the myths and transformation process of the terrifying Filipino vampire/zombie/boogie-person, the Aswang. And Christine shares the life and lies of Henry Lee Lucas's infamous, though often exaggerated, career as a serial killer. His horror-scope proves VERY virgo. We also might have been both personally haunted and true crime-d during the recording of this episode so strap in for a wild ride… and that's why we drink!

Listen, we'll set a hell portal on fire, if that's what you need. This week, Em brings us face-to-face with the square-shaped goat pupils of the hauntings at Goatman's Bridge in Denton County, Texas.

We're also into reading serial killer's HORROR-scopes now (get it?) and Gio learns to share his wit in the workplace ...and that's why we drink!
