Defending the Mothman: High Strangeness Holiday Special

Ever been so scared you dropped a baby? In this holiday special, we crush on the best high strangeness movie ever made: The Mothman Prophecies. Along the way, Connor offends Indrid Cold, Greg demonstrates how to drive ultraterrestrials crazy, Dana has trouble talking to ghosts, and we learn why West Virginia's official monster is a queer icon. Slather on your chapstick and hold onto your babies, because it's time to defend Mothman from slander.
