About This Podcast

Creepy pop culture! The paranormal! Horror movies!  Every week, siblings Kristen and Will have light-hearted convos about dark stuff. Listen for urban legends, haunted places, and stupid humor from two millennials who've seen Scream one thousand times and love ghost stories (even though they're not always sure an actual ghost is involved).  It's audio comfort food for fellow horror nerds and curious scaredy cats alike.
