Plus the importance of being able to make good clay likenesses of certain kings and demons. You'll also learn about Pazuzu and how the hit film The Exorcists rather misrepresented him.

Tonight Eric and guest Ray O'Hare discuss the life and career of iconic voiceover artist/singer, Thurl Ravenscroft!

Tonight Eric is joined by Tyler Clapp to discuss Spooky Wrestlers! That's wrestlers who had either spooky, horror, supernatural or occult themed-characters.

Tonight you'll hear all about WWE, WCW, ECW AEW stars like Kane, The Boogie Man, Kamala, Abedon, Papa Shango and many more.

For decades there has been an urban myth that if you watch closely, you can see a serial killer in the film The Exorcist. Well, this is one urban legend that turns out to be at least partly true! Paul Bateson does briefly appear in the hospital scene of The Exorcist and he was convicted of a gruesome murder which did help to inspire another film, Cruising. But was he a serial killer who hunted gay men in leather bars? Let's look at the evidence and see what conclusions we can draw on tonight's Spooky Times with Eric D! facebook.com/spookytimeswithericd spookyas.com Music by Occultic Overtones

After a technical SNAFU ruined their previous episode about The Titanic, Eric welcomes back Tristyn Sepersky this time to discuss an urban legend with no actual name so we'll just call it Long At The Fair! Partly because apparently Eric refuses to say the word "exhibition". It's strange. Anyway. A girl and her mother check into a hotel in France. They got their separate ways for one reason or another depending on which story you hear. When the girl returns, her mother is missing but even more concerning, when she asks for help finding he, the hotel staff insist the girl checked in alone! Are you ready to have your sense of reality questioned??? Also, Eric and Tristan sing some Chicago for you as they discuss The Mandela Effect. Ooh-ooh, no, baby please don't go! spookyas.com Music by Occultic Overtones (and Chicago)
