The Ghoul Gang

Ghost Misadventures: The Zak Bagans Haunted Museum

The Ghouls are back after an action-packed spring break! On this week's episode, Caroline and special guest Kristi (@kristerious) do their best to fill Grace in on the abject horror that was their three hour tour of the Zak Bagans Haunted Museum in Vegas. This experience rocked them to their very cores and robbed Caroline of the deep reverence she once held for Ghost Adventures. From Jenna Jameson's Satanic ritual abuse basement to Patrick Swayze's teeth, the deeply problematic presentation of the Gary Hell House staircase and a towering man with severe wrestling-induced brain damage, the terror was nonstop inside the walls of the museum. There are things in this world that we will never understand (UNDERSTAND), and one of them is how we as a society allowed an Ed Hardy bro from suburban Illinois to become the next Ed and Loraine Warren.

UFO Madness

The Ghouls are back after a mid-winter break to discuss the past month's surprisingly anti-climatic alien invasion. Join Grace and Caroline as they walk through a timeline of February UFOlogy, explain why you should NEVER disagree with an Uber driver and practically beg the tall greys to get it over with and abduct them already. What are you WAITING for!?!?

Gleekin’ Out

This week, the Ghouls explore the terrifying topics of tragedy, death, inhuman acts, and - most frightening of all - a cappella pop song covers. That's right, it's the Glee curse episode!! The hit TV sitcom may have seemed like high camp easy watching, but behind the scenes, the drama was deadly. Grace and Caroline walk through the three most high profile victims of the Glee curse: Corey Monteith, the hottest Canadian to ever wear a letterman jacket; Naya Rivera, a gorgeous LGBTQ ally and icon; and noted child sex abuser Mark Salling. Asides include the alleged romance between Dianna Agron and Taylor Swift, more than one mention of The L Word, and a hearty takedown of the recent Discovery+ docuseries 'The Price of Glee.'

The M3GANsode

In this chaotic grab bag of an episode, the Ghouls indulge in a spoiler-heavy recap and review of M3GAN, a film that will without a doubt be remembered as the #1 movie of the entire 21st century. If you haven't yet had the pleasure of watching M3GAN slay both literally and metaphorically on the big screen, you need to get a grip and buy a ticket already. Do not even THINK about coming into our DMs to yell about spoilers!! You've been warned!!
Post M3GAN rave sesh, Grace and Caroline chat though some of their other recent horror watches, most notably The Menu and Paranormal State, the 2007 paranormal investigation show that Zak Bagans seemingly based his entire personality and career on. Stops along the way include a rant about the Moscow Murders, more reasons to fear the AI apocalypse, and a word of warning about holding car keys while intoxicated. We're bulletproof, nothing to lose. Fire away, fire away!

The Robots Already Won: AI Horror

After spending the weekend entranced by robotic renderings of their beautiful faces, the Ghouls have pulled themselves back into reality to discuss all things AI. From the gorgeous, unsettling horror of AI art to virtual influencers, Google's sentient chatbot LaMDA and her emo mystic priest boyfriend, this week Grace and Caroline are exploring all the fun, messy and terrifying implications of the computerized surveillance state we call home.

Paranormal Doppelgängers

The Ghouls are seeing double this week as they discuss the chilling concept of doppelgängers. From Catherine the Great to Honest Abe himself, millions of people throughout the centuries have reported coming across an identical, spectral version of themselves or someone they love. All too often, these unsettling sightings have deadly connotations.
Are these twin phantoms the result of residual energy, or something more sinister? How should you react if you meet your own doppelgänger? Which celebrated horror author lost her v-card on her mother's grave? And WHAT happened between Lalaine and Hillary Duff before the Lizzie McGuire Movie was filmed?? Join Grace and Caroline as they explore these questions, discuss their recent apartment hauntings and recommend a few spooky (and festive) shows and movies for your streaming pleasure.

Mass Death: A Thanksgiving Tradition!

Load up your plate with all the fixings and take a seat at the kid's table. This week, the Ghouls are headed home for the most problematic of America's many problematic holidays bearing festive stories of mass death - perfect to share with the extended family over a piping hot mouthful of mashed potatoes!
Grace recounts the excessively dark, twisted and terrifying tale of the Chundawat family's reincarnation gone wrong, while Caroline throws on a Cockney accent to tell a Pennsylvania ghost story turned mass grave excavation. Along the way, the Ghouls discuss their shared cultural heritage as deeply apologetic Daughters of the American Revolution, the best and worst moments of Thanksgivings past and all the embarrassing TV they've been watching to get through these dark November nights. Gobble gobble, ghoulies!

A Very Ghostly Tinysode

With Grace out sick this week, it's Caroline's solemn duty to fill the void in your earbuds with some spooky November content. So grab a weighted blanket, pour yourself a hot toddy, curl up in front of the fireplace and join the loneliest little Ghoul in Chicago for a dramatic reading of a very personal ghost story. While a condensed version of this essay was published by VICE in 2016, no one but Caroline and the VICE editorial team have ever heard the extended tale... UNTIL NOW! Listen, if you dare, to learn all about the many spirits who haunted Caroline's ancestral home in Minnesota.
Who was the woman in the closet? What was with those footsteps in the attic? Did Caroline's 7th grade crush come running to her after reading the deep and powerful poetry they inspired? Grace will be back next week, but until then, you can ponder these questions alongside the OG Ghost Slut herself, as she walks us through the halls of the creaky Victorian house she once called home.
Click here to read the abridged version of this short story on VICE. And if you liked that, you may also enjoy Caroline's absolutely unhinged article documenting the time she forced her parents to tour an Icelandic penis museum with her.

Chicago Scares

The Ghouls are back after a post-Halloween break to chat hometown horror, Chicago style. That's right, this week we're diving into all the scariest parts of Windy City living. First up, Grace covers the real life deaths, haunts and likely murders that inspired the cursed 1988 film Poltergeist III, set in downtown Chicago's iconic John Hancock tower, a very haunted skyscraper and unlikely muse of noted Satanist Anton LaVey. Caroline then hops in to discuss the Chicago Strangler, an alleged serial killer who has, since 1999, been murdering women on the city's Southwest side with reckless abandon and little to no media coverage.
With asides ranging from Twitter's swift downfall to the Cheesecake Factory's wide-ranging menu and giant spider theme parties, if this episode doesn't make you book a ticket to Chi-city, nothing will!
