What lies beneath the cheerful facades of the shops in and around the Vista Del Rey Mall? Octoberpod's weekly special is retail horror. First, meet Lady Skunk Ape, an over-the-hill superhero and cover model who meets her match as part of her second career (as a video store owner). Then, find a gift for your abuelita at Rosie's Rag Patch ... just stay away from the unspeakable thing in the back room!
Guest Narrators: Tara Voshell (3 Spooked Girls, The Spooky Sleuth), MJ McAddams (Humble Hauntings).

FIEND DROP: Dark Reveries (ft. Reverie True Crime)

1 Recommendations

While Edward October is away, Paige Elmore (Reverie True Crime podcast) stops by to share her dark reveries on The Green-Clawed Beast of the Ohio River and Slaughterhouse Canyon in Arizona & The Smurl Family Haunting.
About REVERIE TRUE CRIME. Reverie means to daydream but sometimes when we drift off into our daydreams, they can morph into our anxieties, worst fears, horrific nightmares. We may start to get lost in thoughts about the dark things occurring in the world and questioning these happenings in life. Who? How? When? Why? What?
From telling the stories of crimes to sitting down with victims and their families, Paige is passionate about all aspects. Shedding light on the dark, terrifying things that have happened and still happen in the world is very important to her.
Paige hopes that through these stories she can bring awareness to injustices and the scary reveries around us that hide in plain sight. You can e-mail suggestions and even your personal paranormal/strange and/or crime related stories to [email protected]
