Episodes
Welcome back, listeners!
Things are returning to normal here now that Halloween is in the rear view... though for the ladies of the Nightmare Cottage, does Halloween ever truly end?
On today's episode, Nym is recounting her down trip to the very mouth of Hell itself for us... Tell me, are you prepared to handle the spine-chilling south? The terror of Texas? The horrors.... of HOUSTON?! Just kidding! As you'll soon hear straight from the hostesses' mouths, Houston is a really cool place, full of plenty of spots for those of the spooky persuasion and nerdy disposition alike.
Then, Nylene leaves us wanting more after setting us up for her next topic, the violent madness inspired by... a Hasbro toy?
Thanks for tuning in!
