Don’t Fuck With The Original

The Hinsdale House

The site of an Indigenous Massacre. A house built by 2 murderous brothers in the 1850s who buried their victims on the same land. The same house 120 years later plagued a family of 6 with repeated poltergeist activity for 16 months. Are these plot lines to a movie? Sadly no. These are all real-life stories surrounding the Hinsdale House, the haunted home and property in Upstate, New York. Tonight, inspired by the paranormal YouTube show Project Fear, we talk about the history and hauntings of the home, where paranormal activity, to this day, is still experienced and caught on camera by the current owner & groups that visit. Do you believe and if so, would you stay in the infamous Hinsdale House?

The Circleville Letters

A small town in Ohio and their school district were attacked by vicious letters for seemingly no reason. Similar to the Watcher in New Jersey with much more twists and turns. Letters written separately in 1977 then 1982 were specifically targeting a couple tied to the school and then in 1994 letters written to a reporter directly involved with the case. One person was accused, but was never proven true so the case still remains unsolved. The small town in question is Circleville, Ohio and tonight we're discussing The Circleville Letters. We go in detail about the case as well as our theories.

Sherri Papini

Tonight's episode is a true crime, real life "Gone Girl" case of the fake kidnapping of Sherri Papini in 2016. She went missing for 22 days & was found bound, beaten & branded on the side of a California highway claiming all this was done by 2 Mexican women. 4 years later, it was proven that she was actually hiding out at an ex's and all injuries sustained were done by her own hands! Tonight we discuss at length the case & how it directly affected Keith Papini, Sherri's then husband & their 2 children.

Bohemian Grove

"You come upon it suddenly. One step and its glory is over you. There is no perspective; you cannot get far enough away from one of the trees to see it as a whole. There they stand, a world of height above you, their pinnacles hidden by their topmost fringes of branches or lost in the sky." A direct quote from a former member of the elusive Bohemian Club, the Bohemian Grove is an area in California where the rich & elite gather for secret meetings and rituals in the summer months that conclude with the "Cremation of Care" where an effigy is burned before a giant owl statue. Is it all in good summer camp fun or something more sinister? Tonight we discuss the history and allure of Bohemian Grove.

Late Night With The Devil

Tonight we are doing a long, awaited movie review for "Late Night With The Devil", the documentary-style film about a 1977 talk show that filmed their Halloween episode for high ratings and got more than they bargained for. The movie touches on the occult and the paranormal with practical effects reminiscent of John Carpenter's "The Thing." This has been a 2024 horror favorite so far & a great intro for someone new to the genre. If you haven't watched it yet, it's currently streaming on Shudder.

Two Knocks on a Door Interview

We're keeping the Horrorhound Film Fest interviews coming! Tonight we are joined by Sean Kenealy & Eric Silvera to discuss their short film, "Two Knocks on a Door." The log line is "A father grows suspicious that there's an intruder in his house, only to discover something much darker" but depending on who's watching, it's so much more than that. This was very polarizing but we loved it & we loved even more talking to Sean & Eric about it! Spoiler Alert & NSFW Warning: We do discuss self-pleasure quite a bit, but in a very comical way LOL. Catch "Two Knocks on a Door" at festivals coming soon!
