A quiet lover's lane. A cryptic symbol. Letters that turned fear into a media spectacle. In this episode, we take you deep into the unsolved case of the Zodiac Killer - one of the most infamous unidentified murders in American history. From the first attacks on secluded couples to the taunting letters and ciphers sent to newspapers, we break down the crimes, the psychology, the investigations, and the suspects.

We examine the evidence, behavioral patterns, and modern interpretations - including insights and claims discussed in the Netflix documentary "This is the Zodiac Speaking" - and explore why Arthur Leigh Allen remains, in Lori's view, the strongest suspect despite ongoing forensic debate.

This episode includes detailed case analysis, profiler insight, cipher discussions, media impact, and a responsible look at theory vs proof - all delivered with Something Wicked's signature dark humor and sharp commentary.

Listener discretion advised.

Unsolved. Unsettling. Unforgettable.

Before Christmas had nativity, it had candles, feasts, and chaos. In this episode, Lori and Tori explore Saturnalia, Yule, the Winter Solstice, and how the Catholic Church rebranded ancient Pagan traditions into Christmas. Witchy, historical, sarcastic, and warm-hearted, this episode untangles the real roots of the season - because the light has always belonged to everyone. Happy listening!

This week on Something Wicked we take you through the full, brutal saga of Elizabeth Short, aka The Black Dahlia. Her childhood shaped by illness and abandonment, he Hollywood-sized ambitions, her messy love life, and the move to LA that became the hinge of history. Then we plunge into the infamous 1947 murder that stunned the nation: the discovery of her bisected body, the media frenzy that followed, the chaotic police investigation, and the long list of suspects ranging from sketchy boyfriends to surgeons with way too much free time.

With dark humor, deep research, and absolutely no mercy for the incompetency, this episode unpacks the life, death, and enduring mysteries surrounding The Black Dahlia - and why this case still haunts true crime to this day. Happy listening!

Tonight, we're sinking our teeth into one of the most enduring legends in human history: the vampire. From the blood-soaked myths of Eastern Europe, to the glittery chaos of modern pop culture, vampires have evolved from terrifying revenants to seductive icons - and they've left a permanent mark on our fears, our fantasies, and even our fashion.

Join your hosts Lori and Tori, as we unravel the dark origins of the vampire myth, explore how real historical figures like Vlad the Impaler inspired centuries of horror, and trace how these creatures of the night have shaped everything from gothic literature to modern media. So grab your garlic, a stake or two, and step into the shadows - because tonight, we're finding out just how deep the bite of vampire lore truly goes. Happy listening!

Halloween - the one night we celebrate sugar, scares, and suspiciously bad decisions. But in 1974, one Texas dad turned every parent's worse nightmare into a horrifying reality. Ronald Clark O'Bryan - later dubbed "The Man Who Killed Halloween" - murdered his own son with a poisoned Pixy Stick, and in doing so, murdered the innocence of Halloween itself.

In this chilling episode, Lori and Tori dive into the real story behind O'Bryan's greed-fueled crime, how it ignited decades of fear over "poisoned candy", and why that myth still haunts suburban neighborhoods every October.

Expect dark humor, Halloween-night atmosphere, and a healthy dose of sarcasm as your favorite spooky duo unravel the truth, debunk the panic, and remind you that the real monsters often live right next door. Happy listening!
