The Ghouls are back after a mid-winter break to discuss the past month's surprisingly anti-climatic alien invasion. Join Grace and Caroline as they walk through a timeline of February UFOlogy, explain why you should NEVER disagree with an Uber driver and practically beg the tall greys to get it over with and abduct them already.

This week, the Ghouls explore the terrifying topics of tragedy, death, inhuman acts, and - most frightening of all - a cappella pop song covers. That's right, it's the Glee curse episode!! The hit TV sitcom may have seemed like high camp easy watching, but behind the scenes, the drama was deadly. Grace and Caroline walk through the three most high profile victims of the Glee curse: Corey Monteith, the hottest Canadian to ever wear a letterman jacket; Naya Rivera, a gorgeous LGBTQ ally and icon; and noted child sex abuser Mark Salling. Asides include the alleged romance between Dianna Agron and Taylor Swift, more than one mention of The L Word, and a hearty takedown of the recent Discovery+ docuseries 'The Price of Glee.'

In this chaotic grab bag of an episode, the Ghouls indulge in a spoiler-heavy recap and review of M3GAN, a film that will without a doubt be remembered as the #1 movie of the entire 21st century. If you haven't yet had the pleasure of watching M3GAN slay both literally and metaphorically on the big screen, you need to get a grip and buy a ticket already. Do not even THINK about coming into our DMs to yell about spoilers!! You've been warned!! Post M3GAN rave sesh, Grace and Caroline chat though some of their other recent horror watches, most notably The Menu and Paranormal State, the 2007 paranormal investigation show that Zak Bagans seemingly based his entire personality and career on. Stops along the way include a rant about the Moscow Murders, more reasons to fear the AI apocalypse, and a word of warning about holding car keys while intoxicated.

After spending the weekend entranced by robotic renderings of their beautiful faces, the Ghouls have pulled themselves back into reality to discuss all things AI.

The Ghouls are seeing double this week as they discuss the chilling concept of doppelgängers. From Catherine the Great to Honest Abe himself, millions of people throughout the centuries have reported coming across an identical, spectral version of themselves or someone they love. All too often, these unsettling sightings have deadly connotations. Are these twin phantoms the result of residual energy, or something more sinister? How should you react if you meet your own doppelgänger? Which celebrated horror author lost her v-card on her mother's grave? And WHAT happened between Lalaine and Hillary Duff before the Lizzie McGuire Movie was filmed?? Join Grace and Caroline as they explore these questions, discuss their recent apartment hauntings and recommend a few spooky (and festive) shows and movies for your streaming pleasure.  It's not too late to deck the halls with Ghoul Gang merch!

Load up your plate with all the fixings and take a seat at the kid's table. This week, the Ghouls are headed home for the most problematic of America's many problematic holidays bearing festive stories of mass death - perfect to share with the extended family over a piping hot mouthful of mashed potatoes! Grace recounts the excessively dark, twisted and terrifying tale of the Chundawat family's reincarnation gone wrong, while Caroline throws on a Cockney accent to tell a Pennsylvania ghost story turned mass grave excavation. Along the way, the Ghouls discuss their shared cultural heritage as deeply apologetic Daughters of the American Revolution, the best and worst moments of Thanksgivings past and all the embarrassing TV they've been watching to get through these dark November nights.

With Grace out sick this week, it's Caroline's solemn duty to fill the void in your earbuds with some spooky November content. So grab a weighted blanket, pour yourself a hot toddy, curl up in front of the fireplace and join the loneliest little Ghoul in Chicago for a dramatic reading of a very personal ghost story. While a condensed version of this essay was published by VICE in 2016, no one but Caroline and the VICE editorial team have ever heard the extended tale... UNTIL NOW! Listen, if you dare, to learn all about the many spirits who haunted Caroline's ancestral home in Minnesota. Who was the woman in the closet? What was with those footsteps in the attic? Did Caroline's 7th grade crush come running to her after reading the deep and powerful poetry they inspired? Grace will be back next week, but until then, you can ponder these questions alongside the OG Ghost Slut herself, as she walks us through the halls of the creaky Victorian house she once called home. Click here to read the abridged version of this short story on VICE. And if you liked that, you may also enjoy Caroline's absolutely unhinged article documenting the time she forced her parents to tour an Icelandic penis museum with her.  Ghoul Gang merch has arrived!

The Ghouls are back after a post-Halloween break to chat hometown horror, Chicago style. That's right, this week we're diving into all the scariest parts of Windy City living. First up, Grace covers the real life deaths, haunts and likely murders that inspired the cursed 1988 film Poltergeist III, set in downtown Chicago's iconic John Hancock tower, a very haunted skyscraper and unlikely muse of noted Satanist Anton LaVey. Caroline then hops in to discuss the Chicago Strangler, an alleged serial killer who has, since 1999, been murdering women on the city's Southwest side with reckless abandon and little to no media coverage. With asides ranging from Twitter's swift downfall to the Cheesecake Factory's wide-ranging menu and giant spider theme parties, if this episode doesn't make you book a ticket to Chi-city, nothing will!  Ghoul Gang merch has arrived!

Trick or treat, ghoulies! In celebration of Halloweekend, Grace and Caroline hop on their mics for a quick bonus chat featuring two very seasonally-appropriate tales of Tennessee horror from listener Myrssa. Next up, the Ghouls pay homage to their new queen, M3GAN, the queer icon and third Olsen twin whose murderous dance remix videos have taken up most of the space in their tiny pea brains for the past three weeks straight. If this is their reaction to the trailer, Sathan help us when the movie premieres...

'Tis the season to be spooky, and on this, the hallowed of all weeks, the Ghouls are gearing up for the 31st. In the top half of the episode, Grace and Caroline share their favorite looks from Halloweens past and swap a few real life Halloween horror stories of decapitation, secret messages, poisoned candy, Canadian beach riots and the infamous Clown Panic of 2016.  Don't let the title of this episode fool you... The Ghouls would NEVER slander the good holiday of Halloween. They will, however, spend the second half of their time together slandering John Carpenter's 'Halloween Ends,' the 13th (and hopefully final) installment of the 'Halloween' movie series, which the Ghouls watched this weekend so you don't have to. You're welcome! Despite being one of the worst movies they've seen this year, the Ghouls have a great time recapping all the mayhem, murder, killer hotties in round glasses and nonsensical dedication to the fictional small town of Haddonfield, Illinois that make up the very wild plot of 'Halloween Ends.'

The Ghouls are taking it back to their roots this week with a tour through all the cryptids, ghosts and arsonists-turned-murderers that roam the mountains in their ancestral homelands of Scotland and Norway. Caroline talks trolls, merMEN, hot, hollow-backed woodland nymph(omaniac)s and Norwegian black metal, while Grace embarks upon a spooky journey through Scotland's sordid history of castle-based murder, from boiling and child kidnapping to tongue cutting and hot Spanish black widows. With multiple asides that reveal just how deeply the American public school system has failed to educate the Ghouls on geography, history, geometry and basic reading comprehension, this week's episode ends with a spoiler free discussion of Ryan Murphy's latest Netflix project, 'The Watcher.' Other notable horror consumed by The Ghouls this week? Sebastian Stan's cannibal masterpiece 'Fresh,' the problematic and poorly executed 'Jessabelle,' and Hulu's very fun 'Hellraiser' reboot.

Hauntober continues in full force! First up in this absolute monster of an episode, the Ghouls recap Ellie and Caroline's weekend excursion out to Evil Intentions, a haunted house in the sleepy lil Halloween town of Elgin, Illinois, which is operated out of an abandoned casket factory. Caroline gives Grace an overview of the haunt and chats with three exceedingly charming actors about the paranormal history of the building and their experiences working alongside real-life ghosts and ghouls.  Next, Grace and Caroline read an assortment of ghost stories from beloved Ghoul Gang listeners Samantha, Isaac and Kennedy. These tales take us on a journey through time and space, from the modern-day spirits lurking inside the Art Institute of Chicago all the way to a haunted castle in Portugal circa 2008. Along the way, we pop into Caroline's demon-filled college house, hear a few of Grace's ghostly experiences in Georgia, consider the veracity of the pet psychic industry and vow to avenge the death of Isaac's grandfather at the hands of an angry spirit.

It was the best of haunts, it was the worst of haunts. Actually, it's bedtime, cuz the Ghouls are wiped TF out from a weekend of pure terror and suspense. On the pod this week, Grace and Caroline recount all the horror, ghosts and jump scares they witnessed during their back-to-back trips to two infamous Chicagoland Halloween destinations: The Old Joliet Haunted Prison and HellsGate. They also interview a duo of incredible haunt actors about the craziest reactions they've seen on the job, talk though the (literal) torture that guests of XXX-treme haunted houses like McKamey Manor and Heretic Horror House go through, and swap disturbing stories about why fake hanging stunts are the absolute worst idea. Sponsored by noted bicon/vintage hottie Marlon Brando and his extensive collection of self-made erotica, this episode will take you to Joliet and back (twice).    Do you have a topic suggestion for an upcoming episode or a scary story to share with the Ghouls?

We've been on the run, drivin' in the sun, looking out for number one... That's right ghoulies, this week Grace and Caroline are hopping on Highway 101 and speeding into Hollywood's most haunted locales. On their trip through the star-studded City of Angels, the Ghouls discuss the spirits haunting Johnny Depp's infamous Viper Room, John Belushi's death and alleged afterlife as a friendly ghost at the Chateau Marmont, Whitney Houston's tragic family curse and the little-known true story behind the '80s horror movie "The Entity." Asides include the Ghouls' hot take on the new Netflix Dahmer series, several DARE-style PSAs against speedballs, and an unnecessary deep dive into the origins of Jamie Lynn Spears' absolutely batshit name. California here we come (THIS CAR IS DUNZO)!

This week, the Ghouls take it back to spooky season basics with a tour through a few of the world's most cursed and haunted objects. Join Grace and Caroline as they explore Post Malone's brush with the infamous Dybbuk box, the great Hope Diamond's glamorous trail of death, an ancient statue containing the spirit of a death goddess, and as usual, several asides into the life and times of the Ghouls favorite (and least favorite) ghost bro, Mr. Zak Bagans himself. Come along as the Ghouls ask age old questions such as, can you call yourself a serial killer with just a two murder streak? And, why do terrifying dolls have such a hold over the the Boomer mom community? Throw on your best nipple belt and get ready for your private plane to make a demon-fueled emergency landing.
