My Willies!!!

I'm back!

I am diving back into the show, and what better way than to discuss what the hell happened after that last episode 3 months ago?! What prompted my sudden disappearance? 

Join me in this comeback episode, discussing Will's Thrills, content creators, apologies, and my excitement to put out some new episodes for you all. 

Recorded right from my new studio! (which just so happens to be our closet at home, and don't worry...I wont be recording in there again)

I'm so happy to be back! Thanks for sticking around and riding this wave with me. 

-Will

Also...in this episode I shout out some content creator friends of mine and promised to give their info here in the show notes, so here they are:

Happy Halloween Willies!

There's still some time before the big day, but since Will won't see you again until the 1st of November, WE'RE CELEBRATING TODAY! Will is so excited for this THRILLING day, and to be honest, is kind of feeling bitter-sweet.

Over the past few episodes he's been exploring different ways to bring some spookiness into your season and he is BEYOND grateful for ALL of the responses. From the USA, to Germany, to UK, to Mexico, to Argentina, to Australia...SO MANY WILLIES have been popping into the Will's Thrills DM's with love and support. So he just wanted to take a second to say thank you. If it wasn't for all of you, there would be no thrills.

On today's episode Will plunges into his favorite part of the holiday...HORROR MOVIES. They are a staple of American Halloween. There is nothing better than getting cozy on all hallows eve, popping in a movie, and letting the fear and mystery of the night take over. This episode also features TWO EPICLY FAILED Will Calls...TWO!

Will also tell's a touching, but traumatizing story that might involve a child's doll that many of you are familiar with...be warned.

From our celebration to yours, we hope you have an AMAZING Halloween! Stay safe out there Willies!

Happy Monday Willies!

We're 13 days away from Halloween!

In Keeping up with our thrilling series Will is coming to you LIVE from a GOD DAMN HAUNTED HOUSE! This is NOT a drill folks! The only person who would be able to get Will into such a spooky venue, would be none other than bestie Heather Willett. Heather is super knowledgeable in all things Home Haunts and as a SURPRISE, she suggested we record in an actual Haunted House...yeah.

In the rush to get here, the wrong equipment was grabbed, so please excuse some minor sound issues in certain spots.

Today Will and Heather dive into some fun local Home Haunts, mazes, theme parks and fun halloween things to do around town. Will also goes on a not so thrilling rant about a local haunted hayride, that involves hay...all up in his booty. 

So give a listen, and start to make a list of all the fun Halloween things there is to do this coming week. 

Byeee!!!!

Hi Willies.

Get ready for this one. Scary Stories with BRIAN!

I told you this shit was going to get SCARY! Listen...IF YOU DARE!

As promised, to continue with my spooky Halloween season, your boy Bria....WILL...is here to keep you at the edge of your seat!

This week after deciding he really wanted to get into the mood, Will sets up a mini podcasting studio, up in the mountains, to record next to a crackling fire...ooohh. And would you believe it, but Will happens to encounter longtime friend (and apparent night camping aficionado)...Brian Rohan! (Which also explains the mic and sound situation. Will was expecting to be solo on this episode, and didn't have 2 mics)

Brian, a historical expert some say, joins Will at the fire to share two gruesomely, haunting stories about Los Angeles' darker past.

***BEWARE - TRIGGER WARNING*** These tales contain graphic true crime stories that go into extreme detail. 

OH YEAH! And I can't forget! Below you will find the link to view my movi....I mean.....the movie Will mentions that Brian is in. Click on the link, check it out and enjoy. 

Until next time...

HAPPY SPOOKY SEASON WILLIES!

"Whew! Why did no one tell me producing and starring in a podcast by YOURSELF is a job of work?! Thanks for hanging in there as I took a short, but much needed mini hiatus. The end of the year is usually a busy time for me and mine, so thank you for being the best peeps in the world and for coming back! Now let's dive in!" -Will

As you know, Will is a pretty major Halloween fan. I think we all are, right? The weather gets crisp, the movies are scary and the cuddles are necessary - which is also another activity Will is a fan of.

Over the next four weeks, Will's Thrills is going to be covering all things about the season that are thrilling, haunted, interesting and spooky. So buckle up Willies, turn the lights off, and get ready to take the plunge into Halloween 2021!

On today's episode, Will dips his toes into the dark and deep world of CURSES.

By definition, curses are intended to invoke a supernatural power that can inflict harm or punishment on someone or something. That being said, there are several popular "curses" that REALLY send a chill down Will's spine. Today we explore the cursed film sets of Hollywood, the Kennedy's (yes, those Kennedy's) and some other Los Angeles tales that to this day...are unexplainable.

Grab some candy, turn down the lights, and let's start this Halloween together.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Hello, Hello, Hello Willies!

Sorry for the delay! It's Wedding season and sometimes a bitch gets BUSY with these invites! That being said - please remember to wear your damn mask when you're flying - Just. Fucking. Do. It.

In case you didn't know, flying isn't Will's biggest thrill...which got him thinking...every once in a while, it's good to blow off some steam on the shit that makes your blood boil. Which leads us to today's topic...

This week Will sits down to share some of the things that DON'T thrill him...then, Will pulls a 180 to discuss a subject that DOES thrill him: DRAG!

In honor of the October 19th Season 4 Premiere of DRAGULA, Will chats with long time High School friend Kenny, AKA...Kendra Onixxx! They take a deep dive detailing Kenny's time in the US Army, and Kendra's "Dragula: Resurrection" performance and...that fire incident heard round the drag world.

Drag is love - drag in thrilling - and Kendra is ready to share this thrill with both Will and YOU!

Thanks for your patience, now lets do this!

Happy Monday Willies!

How was your week? California is on fire, Texas has gone back in time and if some of these mofos don't start getting their vaccines you might see Daddy Will POP OFF!

Anywho! Film festivals are happening all over the place! If you're a fan of the show, you know that one of Will's biggest thrills is film and cinema, so why not spend some time chatting about the upcoming movies that look THRILLING!

On today's episode, Will dives into his love of movie trailers, how some people DON'T share that love, and a Will Call that might help others understand why some...just don't fuck with trailers.

Have a great Labor Day everyone!
