Welcome to another edition of HOMETOWN HAUNTS!! This time were heading south to the Lone Star state. Lauren and Ashley sit down with standup comedian and Texas native JUSTIN FOSTER to talk about the Monsters of Texas. Part rat, part kangaroo, part canine, & all vampire: Chupacabras are mostly seen in Mexico and South America, but did you know Texas has had several run-ins as well? Goat men, haunted lakes, and we even learn that not all monsters have scales and live under bridges: Texas had one infamous monster who resided in Waco.....

Hi Weirdos! Welcome to part two of our Obsession Sessions!! Last week we talked about the precursor to serial killers: STALKING. And the precursor to stalking? Obsession. And the precursor to obsession? I don't know, perfume? We didn't go that far back.
Join Ashley, Lauren, and Georges as we continue our discussion of obsessions while learning about the SCORECARD KILLER (he's the worst) and then we turn the lens on OURSELVES while we discover what it is that makes US obsessed with THEM. Why do people LOVE serial killers so much? What makes us obsessed with the macabre?
Tune in to find out!
Hi Weirdos! Welcome to our FIFTIETH EPISODE!! Yeah, I know it says 45 but it's wrong OK!? Joining us for this milestone is an old friend of the show GEORGES!! (Episode 8: Creature from the Georges Lagoon) Today is PART ONE of our Obsession Sessions "Urges & Artwork" and we are discussing Obsessive compulsions, stalkers, cults, and serial killers with a very specific fixation.
We try to understand the impulses and urges behind serial murders, pedophilia, and stalking while using lesser known murderers, the "Happy Face Killer" and even personal stories. I think it goes without saying, but just in case: WARNING: This episode contains disturbing material.
Stay tuned after the episode to hear the promo for the SCI FI DOUBLE FEATURE DRIVE IN podcast and join us next week for PART TWO!
The ghouls are back in town, the ghouls are back in town!
