Guide to the Unknown

To kick off SLASHTOBER we're going back to the origins of the slasher, discussing the movie that kicked off the craze (surprisingly, it's not Psycho) through the late 70s/early 80s boom that brought us some of the big boys: Halloween, Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street.(Special special thanks to the legendary Roger L.

Kristen is happily moving into a new house with her husband and mom this weekend! But uh oh...have they made a huge mistake?It turns out her new zip code is riddled with monsters and hauntings. She'll hardly be able to turn a corner without bumping into Red Eyes, NJ's sasquatch, or head down to the Quick Chek without a run-in with the Headless Hessian.Oh well! ☺️MAKE SURE YOU CHECK OUT LONELY HEARTS, the short film from friends of the pod Bethany Watson and Dennis Cahlo. We're telling you. It's so good. There's no better way to spend 16 minutes.

Houska Castle in the Czech Republic is rumored to be built over a pit straight to hell...and to have been built specifically to cover it up. Rather than a castle with protections to keep others out, it's built to keep something IN.But it may not have done the best job! On top of black-winged creatures and humanoids emerging from the pit, it's got some pretty brutal Google reviews. Can't win 'em all.For full sources and links, visit http://www.gttupod.com/home/gttu145Get access to monthly bonus podcasts and tons of other content by supporting us through http://www.patreon.com/gttupod! Thank you so much!Visit our website for all things Guide to the Unknown at gttupod.com!Watch the video of our conversation at http://www.youtube.com/talkbomb Follow us online:http://www.instagram.com/gttupodhttp://www.facebook.com/gttupodhttp://www.twitter.com/gttupodAnd join our private Facebook group at http://www.facebook.com/groups/gttupod  Learn more about your ad choices.

Take a trip underwater with us...swim back... In episode 28 of GTTU (Brownies and Daniel Stern...best episode title ever?), Kristen BRIEFLY covered The Loch Ness Monster. BRIEFLY! Less than 7 minutes of coverage for a cryptozoic TITAN! We're going to be fixing this error on the next full episode of the show. For now, enjoy this trip back in time, to hear the original, truncated coverage of Nessy!
