Two Towns Over

Sometimes they brood, sometimes they sparkle, sometimes they're feral monsters. But one thing's for sure: vampires hold a special place in people's imaginations. This week, we give you a supercut of our two-part series on Vampires. First, we look at the myths and legends that surround the monsters. Then, we are joined by our good friend Mark to discuss the inspiration for Count Dracula: Vlad the Impaler

This week, we take a break from the horrors of reality to delve into the unspeakable horrors of H.P. Lovecraft and the terrors of his imagination. Lovecraft, the creator of what became known as "Cosmic Horror" was a complicated man, and his creations mimic his fear of the unknown and alien. We'll separate the art from the artist. And it's us, so of ehulhu

We've all heard the story. A woman spills hot coffee on herself and sues McDonald's because the coffee was hot. But is that really what happened? Is there more to the story than a frivolous lawsuit from a woman who did not know that coffee was hot? Well, we're doing an episode on it, so what do you think?

So, what happened to the settlers on Roanoke Island? This week we look at the most likely options, from assimilation to cannibalism, no topic is left off the table. We also discuss some other occurrences of the word Croatoan throughout history that leads to brand new SCP Pete/Sassafras Charlie lore.

What makes a man bark like a dog? Why was that American Werewolf in London? Do all Werewolves have abs like the ones in the Twilight movies? These are questions you will not find the answers to on this podcast. What you will hear is the history of lycanthropy. But be sure to sit through class because the extra credit is one of Rubin and Josh's favorite stories on the show: The Beast of Gevaudan. A true story about a ein the 1700s

Japan, a land of deep culture and history, is also known for its unique and sometimes bizarre game shows. In this episode, Don and Josh, along with Cyndi, share the captivating story of a man who was unwittingly thrust into a show where he had to survive solely on what he won from magazine sweepstakes.

This week, Josh and Don close the book on Dennis Rader by discussing how the idiot was captured. Spoiler alert, it was very stupid. We also look at the drawn out hunt that took almost a decade.

We are back from winter hell with this year's look at the man, the myth, the legend: Florida Man. As three former Floridians, we feel safe in being able to comment on the lunacy that infects our former home state. But we also look at the story of one, very famous, North Carolina man.
