A return to casting (spells and pods alike) and a return to the roots that may have had a hand in making us wyrd - horror films watched way too early in our tender youth. Do you recall a time before morbid curiosity took hold, dear listener? We do - sort of. Thank you, questionable parenting skills, for your hand in shaping our deranged coven. This week Lacey, Tay and Laura bring you a restorative brew of whacked-out film lore - from actual on-screen deaths to the horrifying inspiration behind iconic 90s slashers.

Content Warnings: Discussions of rape, gore, violence against children, violence against animals.
