Nightmare on Elm Street Jan 03, 2022

Show notes

It’s 2022 and we’re coming in hot with an eery story from a small California town where a 9-1-1 call in May of 1990 led authorities to a horrifying crime scene. What appeared to be a quadruple homicide later on revealed ties between one of the victims and a local cult where a Manson-like cult leader may have been responsible for orchestrating the massacre..only one way to find out…

A Very Culty Christmas Dec 24, 2021

Show notes

Cult Babes! It’s our last episode of the year, next week we will be pausing to play catch up after the holiday madness, and will be back with a brand new episode on Monday, January 3rd. I decided that instead of a traditional little liter, we’d do something extra special, my gift to you, a sort of bonus episode before reading some of the cult babe mail. Love you all and hope you enjoy xx.
