In this special Halloween episode promoting All the Horror (Check them out!), Cody and Chris talk about creepy books based on true events. First, Cody dives into one of the spookiest hotels and the inspiration for The Shining: The Stanley Hotel. Then, Chris fills his true-crime heart with the true story of mass murderer H.H. Holmes, the basis for the book, The Devil In the White City. Next, Cody talks about The Witchfinder’s Sister, a book based on Matthew Hopkins, who goes on a “witch”-hunting rampage in the 1600’s. Finally, Chris discusses the scariest haunted house ever! It was turned into the book, The Uninvited: The True Story of the Union Screaming House. Creep of the Week comes from Mikey at The Descent podcast and Stormy Skies from Real Horror Show podcast. This week’s drinks are 19 Crimes Red Blend and Turn of the Screwdriver mocktail.
