Dive into the eerie legacy of Max Schreck, the man who brought terror to silent film audiences as Count Orlok in Nosferatu (1922). Often described as looking like he just crawled out of a crypt (because he did—on screen, anyway), Schreck's portrayal of the gaunt, rat-toothed vampire left such an impression that rumors swirled for decades claiming he was a real vampire. Spoiler: he wasn’t, but his performance was so hauntingly convincing that it blurred the line between acting and the supernatural. Off-screen, Schreck was a far cry from his creepy Nosferatu persona—a theater actor who enjoyed his craft, not blood. Join us as we shine a (UV-free) spotlight on one of cinema’s most enigmatic and misunderstood figures, and explore how his iconic role laid the foundation for every vampire to hiss their way onto the silver screen. Perfect for cinephiles, horror fans, and anyone curious about the origins of on-screen terror. Make sure to sink your teeth into this one!

The Glasgow Ice Cream Wars were less "scoops and sprinkles" and more "pints and punches." In 1980s Scotland, rival ice cream van operators turned their turf battles into a bizarre yet brutal underworld saga, dealing more in drugs and stolen goods than soft-serve cones. Picture Goodfellas with a Mr. Whippy soundtrack, where the stakes weren’t just about who sold more cones, but who controlled the streets. What started as turf disputes escalated into violence, arson, and even murder, proving that in Glasgow, the competition over ice cream routes was chillingly intense.

Katherine Knight stands out as one of Australia’s most infamous figures—think Down Under's answer to Hannibal Lecter, but somehow even more unsettling. Katherine was a butcher by trade, and when she wasn’t slicing meat at work, she was slicing up the hearts of anyone who dared to love her. Enter John Price, her unlucky boyfriend who thought he could handle her fiery temper. Unfortunately, he didn’t realize he’d end up as the main course. One night in 2000, Katherine decided to end things with Price in the most nightmarish way possible. When police arrived at the scene, they found a gruesome display that would leave even seasoned detectives wishing they could unsee it. Let’s just say, she set the table with a horror that looked straight out of a B-grade slasher flick, complete with place settings for his kids as if she was hosting some macabre dinner party. Today, Katherine is serving life in prison—no chance of parole, no knives, and hopefully no more cooking. Her story remains a dark reminder that sometimes, it’s better to swipe left when your date’s past involves a little too much butchery experience.
