Is the title of this episode too long? Probably. But we're celebrating two years of Pop DNA with our favorite and most seasonally appropriate fiction genre!

This super-sized bonus episode contains haunted houses, spooky paintings, secret passages, possibly villainous love interests, and a whole lot of tangents that are only marginally related to the topic of discussion. We look at the history of Gothic fiction, from classics like The Mysteries of Udolpho and Jane Eyre, to current favorite movies, comics, and even video games that use Gothic conventions in fun ways. Happy Halloween!
