Welcome back to Nothing Scarier Podcast!
This week we bring you more treats!! Join Courtney, Cayla and very special guest Meg on this first ever triple hosted episode of Nothing Scarier. First we watch the 1999 masterpiece The Mummy. Then Meg brings us all the interesting facts, semi-truths, lies and embellishments behind the Pharaoh's curse rumored to follow those who disturbed the resting place of King Tutankhamun. The true importance of PPE, who or what exactly is a bargle and even more mysteries are solved in this Halloween Season Special.
