The Origins of Horror


Listen Later

In this week's episode our heroes trace the origins of the horror genre back to an exceedingly impactful evening in 1815 Sweden whereupon a night of creepy storytelling birthed a collection of creatures that would alter the literary terrain forever. We also have another morbidly entertaining sexy-wexy timey-wimey installment of our My Immortal theater to break your brain as well! Join us, won’t you? Sources:
