- Improv
Welcome back to The Horror Comedy Potcast! It's the Summer of Serving Cunty Three, and your host Haley, a notorious bisexual, is ready to take you on a terrifying journey. As we celebrate Pride Month, get ready to be spooked while getting super stoned as our host shares a true, scary story.
We travel back in time to Dauphin, Manitoba, Canada, in the years 1975-1977, where a groundbreaking experiment took place. The entire town was given Universal Base Income, resulting in a significant drop in crime rates. But can poverty and desperation drive someone to commit unimaginable acts?
Rewind to 1893 in Montella, Italy, where a baby named Leonarda Cianciulli is born into a life of hardship and tragedy. Raised in a rural farming community, Leonarda's life takes a dark turn as she battles with a haunting fortune and a curse placed upon her by her own mother. With her children dying and her marriage filled with strife, Leonarda forms a sinister plan to protect what's hers, and an even darker plan to cover up the evidence.
Leonarda sets her sights on unsuspecting victims. Faustina Setti, Francesca Soavi, and Virginia Cacioppo. Each fall prey to Leonarda's manipulations, lured by promises of love, jobs, and new lives. Little do they know the horrific fate that awaits them.
Join us as we delve into the chilling tale of Leonarda Cianciulli, the "Soap-Maker of Correggio." Discover the horrifying details of her crimes, the clues left behind, and the shocking outcome of her trial. Was it poverty or a curse that caused someone to commit such heinous acts, or is there something more sinister lurking within Leonarda's twisted psyche?
So grab your favorite strain, settle in, and get ready for a wild and haunting ride on The Horror Comedy Potcast!
