October 18 S15 Ep3: Tea with Miranda- Lived Once, Buried Twice- The Premature Burial of Margorie McCall
Accidents will happen. It seems no matter how hard we all try, things just sometimes have a way of getting mixed up. Shoes go on the wrong feet. The right key goes into the wrong lock. And a live person gets buried, even though they're not dead. It happened, Dear Guest, and more than once. Now, please have a seat and enjoy our special blend of Gravedigger's tea... and I'll tell you all about this kind of accident...twice.

September 20 S15 Ep1: Swamp Witches!
Welcome Back, Spooky Lovelies! We think there's no better atmosphere to begin our NEW SEASON than a swamp! Or better yet, to have a nice visit with Swamp Witches!

Our reading tonight is proudly sponsored by Grimm's Grocer's Moonlight Madness Sale. Grab your waders and join us...if you dare...

June 28 S14 Ep7: The Capuchin Catacombs and The Blinking Child
Let us visit the long dead. Let us travel beneath the bustling streets where they dwell. We believe the 16th-century Capuchin Monks had the right idea! Don't bury your dead and forget them. Place them in tunnels and dress them up in their best duds, then invite everyone to visit them, forever! Tonight, we return to our stomping grounds: a beautifully dreary catacomb with 8,000 dead to gaze upon. One... is rumored to open and close her eyes. Join us below!

Curses! Well, cursed belongings is our topic in The Reading Room tonight! A pretty silver vase that killed the bride it was gifted to. An ancient female figurine that's rumored to have been deadly since forever...and some bedazzlingly dangerous jewels, The Dubious Delhi Purple Sapphire and The Hopeless Hope Diamond. Please find your favorite, totally not cursed spot!

May 31 S14 Ep5: Mermaids in Art!
We have for you this evening a deluge of divine underwater divas! Mermaids are some of folklore and fantasy's most magical creatures, and for centuries, artists have been obsessed with bringing them to life on canvas. Our three, briny, beautiful paintings are: Ulysses and the Sirens, by Herbert James Draper. Sadko in the Underwater Kingdom, by Ilya Repin. And Contemplation or Promise, by Victor Nizovtsev. Don't forget your snorkel!

May 17 S14 Ep4: Mr. Hemlock's Helper
Thank you so much for volunteering to help Mr. Hemlock with the necessary gardening chores, Dear Guest! We were amazed at the lightning speed with which you raced to scribble your name on the sign-up sheet! Why, you seemed almost to be in a fever-dream as you drove your pen into the paper with madness, then you wandered away giggling and mumbling to yourself. In any case, we appreciate your overt willingness to lend a hand. And we certainly won't forget your efforts. We doubt that you will forget, either...

May 03 S14 Ep3: The Count and The Corpse Bride
Calling all ghouls! If you are a fan of all things grim and ghastly, tonight's reading is for YOU! This is the story of Carl Tanzler, "Count von Cosel," who fell so deeply in love with a young woman he saw in his visions, that he wouldn't let the fact that she was dead stand in the way of their romance. Obsession, tragedy, grave-robbing, secrecy, necromancy, and discovery—tonight's reading has it all. Join us! (Sponsored by The League of Lady Gravediggers)
