The Grind It Up Podcast

The blinds shot straight up on their own while we touched the Ouija board. The crew break down chilling ghost stories, classic horror movie favorites, and raw hometown street history.

The crew gets into their top five slasher movies including Friday the 13th, Child's Play, Nightmare on Elm Street, and Candyman before calling up Meathead to verify a real childhood paranormal experience with a Ouija Board. The conversation takes a wild turn into wild breaking news, old-school local controversies around Cahokia Heights, and whether kids should stick to trunk-or-treat instead of street trick-or-treating.
