The story of America's first serial killer. Some of the best songs for your Halloween playlist. A few beloved 1970s board games.
Episode 168 of the podcast is several different shades of spooky.
It begins with the story of H.H. Holmes. He is the man widely considered to be America's first serial killer. His 'murder castle' is the stuff of nightmares and his actions sadly likely inspired countless murderous imitators.
Family fun nights in the 1970s could be as terrifying as any scary movie. We go way Back In the Day to look at some of the beloved board games that tried to make those Fridays around the dining room table a little less awful.
Throwing a Halloween party? Well this week's Top 5 is going to set up the playlist for you. We will look at creepy songs that are perfect for Spooky Season. Haunting lyrics, hidden meanings, odd backstories, they're all here.
There will be a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule centered around the mysterious death of magic legend Harry Houdini.
