Every week Kristin, Kelli, Leah, and Alisan watch, discuss, and dissect the best and most unsettling horror films, TV shows, true crime, and paranormal content out there, then pair each one with a wine recommendation because that's just how we do things. We cover prestige horror TV like FROM, THEM, and Lovecraft Country, deep dives into horror film and true crime, ghost stories, Stephen King adaptations, UAP research, unsolved mysteries, and the occasional theory that will make you question the fabric of reality itself. If it's scary, strange, or deeply disturbing, we're watching it, investigating it, and talking about it with a glass in hand. New episodes every week. Find us wherever you listen to podcasts. Hosted on Ausha.

In the early morning hours of June 10th, 1912, eight people were bludgeoned to death in their beds in the small town of Villisca, Iowa. The killer used an axe from inside the family's own home. They covered the victims' faces. They covered the mirrors. They walked out the door, disappeared into the night, and were never caught. Kelli examines the complete history of the Villisca Axe Murders: the victims and their last evening, and the parade of suspects that includes a powerful state senator, a cocaine-addicted hitman, a mentally ill traveling preacher, and a German immigrant serial killer who may have been responsible for over a hundred deaths across North America. We also explore the folklore, hauntings, and paranormal reputation of the Villisca Axe Murder House, one of the most-investigated allegedly haunted locations in America, where you can still book an overnight stay today...
