2.11 - Vlad Dracula & The Trick or Treat Murder

10/28/21 • 62 min

Happy creepy Halloween! Time to celebrate your favorite holiday and ours with two Halloween themed tales. Fraser starts things off with the true story of a man you might have heard of: Vlad the Impaler, also known as Vlad Dracula. You may think you you know his story, but the truth is more complicated than you think. Then, Jen takes us to Halloween night 1957 for the weird tale of the Trick or Treat Murders. For our cocktail this week, it's a bloody New York Sour. Dig into that candy bag, pour yourself a cocktail, and join us!
