This week on Syllabus, we dim the lights, cue the eerie music, and welcome a very special guest: Suzanne McLean, our Local History & Genealogy Coordinator at CPL. While Suzanne usually spends her time unearthing the past at the Collingwood Public Library, today she's digging into something even creepier—her deep love of all things frightening!
From vintage scares to modern scream-fests, Suzanne walks us through why spooky season is the most wonderful time of the year, and why she’ll always root for the final girl. Along the way, we discuss local legends, terrifying tropes, and the bizarre joy of being scared in a safe space.
Send us a message to let us know what you think of the Pod!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
