Today we look into a magic mirror, and then we take to the skies for a fight to the death on Flight 705!
On this episode of Outpost Echo, we sail from Crisfield, Maryland's oyster-rich history to the absurd chills of cult horror-comedy Hookman 2, before strapping in for the real-life nightmare of FedEx Flight 705. Discover how a small town rose from the bay, how indie filmmakers twisted horror into comedy, and how three pilots fought for their lives against a hijacker mid-air. A mix of history, folklore, film, and survival you won't forget.
