The Joy Of Horror

Hello, my sweet pumpkin seeds. This is a message I was really hoping to never have to make. As of right now The Joy of Horror Podcast is taking a temp hiatus (for an undisclosed amount of time) or is sadly closing its doors. I tried my best to explain why in this recorded message, but I know I'm not the best at getting my thoughts out.  I don't want this to be forever and I hope to return soon. Depression is a pain is the short version. I love all of you and please try and take care of yourselves.

Welcome to episode 30! We're making it everyone! In today's episode, I take y'all on a vacation to a private island that's allegedly crawling with ghosts.  Don't worry though! If I get the kayak and you get the sage, we should be okay!

 Welcome to episode 29! It's a special episode about a wee water creature from Japan that is as adorable as it is weird and scary!  These creatures are mostly known for their medical practices and drowning. A good balance I would say! Put on some floaties and take a shot (of water) every time I say its name for a fun game.

Welcome to episode 23 y'all! Today we travel to Dewey Lake, which is located in Michigan, to pay a visit to a monster that has terrorized the locals for decades! No need to be frightened though. He just hates it when people invade his neck of the woods.

Welcome to episode 22 where we dive into my very first possession topic for the pod! It's allegedly one of the first documented possessions from Southern Africa and is an interesting case. Just please don't make any deals with evil forces as we slither in and all will be well.
