What's the lesser of two evils: a life without feeling, or one filled with torment? In this episode of Creeptastic I am digging deep into your skull, specifically your prefrontal cortex, and examining the procedure used for decades to sever its connections: the lobotomy.  What exactly is a lobotomy, and what does it do to the people who get one? How did the practice of hammering ice picks into people’s skulls as a medical treatment even get developed, let alone become popular enough to be done to thousands of people? How has the trope of the lobotomized patient been used to great effect in the wide world of horror that we all know and love? I answer these questions, tell you about some actual lobotomy cases that will probably horrify you as much as Howard’s did, and bring you a little short story about the latest fad in high school: lobotomizing yourself with a defibrillator.  Why spend an episode making you twitch as you imagine the connections in your brain being physically scraped away until you have the personality of a plant? Seems obvious this week. Because literally everything having to do with lobotomies is very, very Creeptastic!See visuals for this episode on https://www.instagram.com/carolinesayang/ (Instagram)!Become a https://www.patreon.com/creeptastic (Patreon) of Creeptastic to access bonus weekly and monthly content!Contact me and find links to social media at https://creeptastic.com/ (Creeptastic.com)!
