In this episode, we (sand)worm into the fascinating world of "Beetlejuice," the iconic 1988 film that turned the haunted house trope on its head. Join us as we explore the origins, behind-the-scenes trivia, and lasting impact of this darkly comedic masterpiece.

"Beetlejuice" emerged as a reverse narrative to the popular horror film "Poltergeist," where instead of a ghostly entity terrorizing a family, it's the human family causing chaos among the deceased. The movie, directed by Tim Burton and featuring Michael Keaton's memorable performance as the mischievous Betelgeuse, became a cult classic and a box office success. (Sucks Yes!)
We delve into the film's production and fun facts, including Tim Burton's initial struggles to convince the cast to embrace the quirky and bizarre nature of the story. Did you know that the title character, despite his lasting impact, has only about 14.5 minutes of screen time?

From the film's unique visual style inspired by B movie special effects, "Beetlejuice" remains a timeless blend of horror, comedy, and "dirty old man". We also discuss the proposed sequel, "Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian," which never materialized but had fans buzzing with curiosity.

Join us as we unravel the mysteries, fun facts, and enduring legacy of "Beetlejuice," a film that continues to enchant audiences across generations.

On September 27th, 2006, the tranquility of a typical school day was shattered by the arrival of a man in his 50s, armed and filled with dark intentions. This is the heart-wrenching story of the 2006 Platte Canyon High School hostage crisis in Bailey, Colorado. We unravel the chilling events that unfolded that fateful day, from the cryptic surveillance footage to the terrifying moments inside Room 206. As the gunman's sinister plan unfolded, students and staff found themselves thrust into a nightmare they could never have imagined.

We explore the heroic efforts of law enforcement and the harrowing ordeal endured by the hostages, including the tragic story of Emily Keyes, whose life was cut short in a moment of senseless violence. Despite the horrors they faced, the resilience of the small, tight-knit rural community shines through, exemplified by the grace and compassion of Emily's family in the face of unimaginable loss.

Through firsthand accounts, expert analysis, and insights into the aftermath of the crisis, we uncover the complex layers of this tragedy. From the swift response of law enforcement to the enduring impact on school safety measures, this episode offers a comprehensive look at a dark chapter in Colorado's history. With the benefit of hindsight, we reflect on the events of that fateful day, we honor the memory of Emily Keyes and all those affected by the violence, celebrate the resilience of survivors, and explore the enduring legacy of the Platte Canyon hostage crisis.

In an area known for its natural beauty lies a darker underbelly, we delve into the chilling mysteries lurking beneath the serene landscapes of the Pacific Northwest. It’s a place where isolated roads and dense forests have provided the perfect cover for notorious serial killers like the Green River Killer.
Step into the shadows of the Pacific Northwest's serene landscapes as we unravel the enigmatic tale of Misty Copsey's haunting disappearance. Amidst the region's breathtaking beauty lies a sinister undercurrent of crime, where notorious serial killers like the Green River Killer once roamed freely.

In this gripping episode, we delve deep into Misty's story, beginning with her inexplicable vanishing from the Washington State Fair in Puyallup, 1992. Despite her mother's relentless search efforts and troubling connections to known predators, Misty's case was dismissed as a mere runaway.

As we peel back the layers of this perplexing mystery, we encounter eerie parallels to other unsolved disappearances in the area and disturbing suspicions that Misty may have fallen victim to something far more sinister. With each revelation, we edge closer to uncovering the truth behind Misty's fate and bringing justice to her name. Journey through the shadows of the Pacific Northwest as we shine a light on Misty Copsey's baffling disappearance and strive to unravel the chilling secrets that have haunted her story for decades.
