In today’s episode, we are going to be doing something a little different. We will cover two bone chilling short stories that are so beyond creepy that it’ll be almost hard to believe and will leave you never looking at mannequins the same way again.
The first story is called The Hanging Outlaw about a hanging fun house wax figure that has a gnarly history and the second story is called The Living Doll of Key West about a radiologist that finds his obsession in a one-sided love affair and takes it a little too far.
