In this hauntingly good episode of the Horror Nerds Podcast, Samantha and Bonnie walk the crossroads between comedy and the supernatural, not only sharing their own personal ghost stories, but also discussing the haunted history of the legendary Pennhurst Asylum. There, they bring a balance between emphasizing the importance of respecting the spirits and the stories behind haunted locations and honoring their own emotional connections to these experiences.
Not only that, our horror hostesses flow between lighthearted banter about holiday cheer to deep discussions on loss, grief, and the unlimited curiosity that surrounds the afterlife. They also touch upon the fascination with ghosts when it comes to horror films, exploring the unknown and the feelings that arise in haunted spaces. Don't miss this one, especially if you believe in life after death. Sorry, Cher.
