Story Hole

Great news, guys. We're still out here in this haunted forest and barely any of us have been murdered by a ghost so far! Join us by the campfire if you want to hear how witches' familiars work, or a chilling story of a real-life zombie disease. We also have some pretty meaningful conversations about body hair, milk, and new pokemon. Its spine-tingling!!

We hope you guys have had a pleasant, comfortable weekend in your air conditioned homes with your warm meals and smushy beds... Meanwhile, we're roughing it in the cold woods with spooky specters and ghastly apparitions around us. If you dare to join us, there's an extra spot by the campfire and this week we'll be talking about Count Chocula, and the Mad Gasser of Mattoon!

It's the season of sad souls and shivering spines! That means it's also time for some spooky stories. Join us all month long for Halloween related tales on Scary Hole! We're heading back into the wilderness for some campfire tales and this week we're covering The Hammersmith Ghost Murder, Dracula, & The Eilean Mor Lighthouse. 

This week, we're easing into our month of the spookiest story holes of the year by taking a look at the lore behind the monster from Stephen King's IT! What is it? Where did it come from? What does it want? Lets get into this cute clown's giant head and find out!

They say some bad guys are victims of circumstance, misunderstood men and women that have been shaped by neglectful or abusive surroundings. That doesn't excuse folks from criminal behavior, but as we'll see today, some of our favorite white leather jacket wearing bad guys have good hearts deep down, even if they want to steal, hurt, and rob you from time to time. So, prepare for trouble, make it double and blast off with us into the damaging pasts of Pokemon's Team Rocket Trio!

Bad news everybody...there's been a murder. Someone on a train crossing the East towards Europe got stabbed a bunch. Luckily, the world's greatest detective is on board. And also, Joey, Kevin, and Roger are there too. So join us this week as we collect the clues and try to solve Agatha Christie's classic murder mystery, Murder on the Orient Express!

Ever wish you could get a tiny glimpse into the future? Well, If you follow Swedish folklore you might just be able to. The recipe is simple...Lock the door, wait 24 hours, head toward a church, and hope you're not brutally murdered by weird Swedish horse monsters! Pretty simple if you ask me. Either way, saddle up, partner! Let's check out some spooky stuff this week on Story Hole!

This week, we take a look at the story of a luminary in the pizza entertainment industry: Chuck E. Cheese. You might be familiar with the arcades, the joy, and the mediocre dinner of a Chuck E. Cheese restaurant, but how familiar are you with the history of ambition, desire, and betrayal that lurks beneath the surface of Chuck's past? Join these three brave boys as we plumb the cheesy depths to find the real story behind the world's third or fourth favorite mouse. 

What has twelve fingers, four arms, and a heart of a warrior? If you guessed Goro, you are correct! Goro is a half-dragon, half-man creature that just about ruined Earth as we know it. If you've ever played Mortal Kombat, you've seen him and loved him...but maybe you should reconsider that...This week, we take a look into our favorite pioneer of the masculine ponytail!

The 1942 film Casablanca is an iconic example of classic cinema...but we've been too busy watching Frasier reruns to ever watch it. So what's it even about? On today's Hole, we take a look at the classic Casablanca, and hopefully learn enough to pretend we're respectable film buffs at our next cocktail soiree.
