How long do you really want to live? In this episode I am pondering the history of humanity’s quest for ever-longer lifespans, and specifically, humanity’s quest for the so-called "elixir of life" – a concoction which will grant immortality (or
In this episode I am digging into the controversial and rare psychological condition most commonly known as folie à deux, or sometimes shared psychosis, or sometimes shared delusional disorder. What exactly is shared psychosis (if it even exist
In this episode I’m shining a spotlight on one of my favorite subgenres of horror: found footage! What exactly is found footage horror, and how has it developed and evolved over the decades to be what it is today? What are the critical elements

Bloody Mary...Bloody Mary...Bloody Mary...ever played? I sure have, and the experience left me with a few questions. Let's dig into the legend of that ghost, or maybe apparition, or maybe evil spirit, or maybe yummy cocktail: Bloody Mary!  Wher
