Spooky season is in full swing on Jackalope Tales, and this October we’re handing out tricks, not treats. This week, we ride straight into the shadows with an episode all about musicians who died backstage. Charles unpacks the murder of Drakeo the Ruler, whose last show ended with flashing lights of a very different kind, while Lisa dives into the haunting story of Mark Sandman, the Morphine frontman who collapsed mid-set and never came back.
It’s part true crime, part ghost story, and 100% Halloween-level creepy. Expect gallows humor, grim giggles, and enough macabre punchlines to make even the Grim Reaper crowd-surf.
All October long, we’re bringing you the scary side of music — and this week, the encore is eternal. [Ep 106]
