Chicago Scares
from The Ghoul Gang · host Pearle Productions
The Ghouls are back after a post-Halloween break to chat hometown horror, Chicago style. That's right, this week we're diving into all the scariest parts of Windy City living. First up, Grace covers the real life deaths, haunts and likely murders that inspired the cursed 1988 film Poltergeist III, set in downtown Chicago's iconic John Hancock tower, a very haunted skyscraper and unlikely muse of noted Satanist Anton LaVey. Caroline then hops in to discuss the Chicago Strangler, an alleged serial killer who has, since 1999, been murdering women on the city's Southwest side with reckless abandon and little to no media coverage. With asides ranging from Twitter's swift downfall to the Cheesecake Factory's wide-ranging menu and giant spider theme parties, if this episode doesn't make you book a ticket to Chi-city, nothing will!
