Hello Scary Squad! We apologize for not getting a new episode out this week - we both came down with pretty rough illnesses in the post-Christmas week. Sean wanted to hop on and give this little update, so you wouldn't think we'd left you in the dust of Christmas past! We hope you've had a lovely New Year, and can't wait to get back to it next week (don't worry - this isn't an extended hiatus!). See you a little further into 2024! ________________________________________ Connect with us on so...

In lieu of taking a total holiday break, we've instead brought you a post-Christmas treat: an interview with local author Patrick Scalisi and illustrator Valerie Ruby-Omen regarding their recent book release Connecticut Cryptids: A Field Guide to the Weird and Wonderful Creatures of the Nutmeg State! Pat and Val discuss what inspired them to compile the stories of Connecticut Cryptids into this extraordinary field guide, which includes tales like that of the Grench, the Black Dog of Hanging Hil...

With the Christmas holiday upon us for those who celebrate, we’re indulging a spooky new tradition with the Ain’t It Scary Holiday Special! Last year, Sean and Carrie presented competing casts for the modern classic, “Ain’t It Scary? Saves Christmas.” This year, having run out of original IP during the writer’s strike, we set out to remake 1988 Christmas classic Die Hard with a cast cobbled together from some of the freakiest and most festive characters we’ve covered in the last three years. W...

After 50 more episodes since our 100th celebration (and over 150 episodes of the show total!), it's time for another clip show — this time with favorites submitted by you, our wonderful listeners! From the Gaslight Queen herself, Lizzie Borden, to the tawdriest of Jack the Ripper suspects, we revisit some of the silliest and/or most show-encapsulating moments of our giggly & gruesome last 50 episodes! ________________________________________ Connect with us on social media: Facebook: www.fac...

We kept it fairly loose this week with a midsummer (midsommar??) catch-up featuring Sean & Carrie gathering round the spooky campfire and talking their recently-consumed horror content (Bones and All, Diablo 4, True Blood, and more), favorite vampire lore, how Edward got Bella pregnant in the Twilight series (spoiler: you would never have guessed it), who in the Ain't it Scary? archives they would FMK (F*ck, Marry, Kill), and a semi-deep-dive news segment covering the recent arrest made in the L...

Hey Scary Squad! We're still wrapping up important family obligations this week, so in lieu of a full episode - but still wanting to get some new 'tent out to ya - we wanted to include a sample Patreon minisode here to be accessible by all (and hopefully get more of you beautiful people over to our Patreon page)! The CURSE OF THE BAMBINO is the alleged baseball curse that befell the Red Sox after they sold "Sultan of Swat" Babe Ruth away to the Yankees to fund a Broadway flop. Was there re...

Hello Scary Squad! We apologize for not getting a new episode out this week - due to a death in our family, we've been tied up, understandably, with quite important matters. Sean wanted to hop on and give this little update, so you wouldn't think we'd left you in the dust of Christmas past! We hope you've had a lovely holiday, and can't wait to get back to it next week (don't worry - this isn't an extended hiatus!). Til then, deck those halls, ring in the New Year, and keep it Scary! _____...

It's been a hell of a week over at the Crypt, so this episode Sean & Carrie take a break from the bleak with a little holiday fun! Inspired by Fantasy Football drafts, Sean & Carrie recast an entire 10-character Christmas movie (featuring such Christmastime archetypes as Santa Claus, Ebenezer Scrooge, and Krampus) with figures from their over-100-episodes of weirdness. Does the head of the House of Mouse make the perfect step-in for jolly old St. Nick? Does Cotton Mather deserve a characte...

After four bloody weeks in Whitechapel with Jack the Ripper, your intrepid hosts are taking the week off - and leaving you with a very special clip show comprising some of the best of our first 100 episodes!

CLIPS: 3:31 - Episode 1, CT Legends and Lore; 9:35 - Episode 7, George Adamski & Orthon of Venus; 13:33 - Episode...

Happy holidays from your favorite ghoulish couple! No, not Gomez and Morticia...okay, maybe second favorite, then. Due to health reasons we unexpectedly have to take a break this week (fingers are crossed that Omicron hasn't come down our chimney) but...

What does that mishmash of an episode title mean? Well, gentle listeners, this week in honor of the approaching All Hallow's Eve we are taking a short break to prepare our intense final episode of our "Salem Witch Trials" series and dropping in a...
