The Ghouls are taking it back to their roots this week with a tour through all the cryptids, ghosts and arsonists-turned-murderers that roam the mountains in their ancestral homelands of Scotland and Norway. Caroline talks trolls, merMEN, hot, hollow-backed woodland nymph(omaniac)s and Norwegian black metal, while Grace embarks upon a spooky journey through Scotland's sordid history of castle-based murder, from boiling and child kidnapping to tongue cutting and hot Spanish black widows.

With multiple asides that reveal just how deeply the American public school system has failed to educate the Ghouls on geography, history, geometry and basic reading comprehension, this week's episode ends with a spoiler free discussion of Ryan Murphy's latest Netflix project, 'The Watcher.' Other notable horror consumed by The Ghouls this week? Sebastian Stan's cannibal masterpiece 'Fresh,' the problematic and poorly executed 'Jessabelle,' and Hulu's very fun 'Hellraiser' reboot. Come on in! The boiling water's great!
