The Beast of Gévaudan; "Cursed" Movies


Listen Later

Welcome back! Episode 13 is here and it is a spooky one! 

After changing the rules from rock, paper, scissor to bottle, (cannabis) leaf and grinder, KT starts us out with the original werewolf tale: The Beast of Gévaudan which takes place in France in the 1760s.  Laurel follows it up with a listener voted topic of stories from "cursed" movie sets.  Do you think they are actually cursed or is it just a series of unfortunate coincidences?
