Date 65 - New Blood

Some bittersweet news for our humble show. Co-founder, co-host, and co-cryptowoologist Heaven-Leigh has had to step back from the show. She is safe and healthy but some recent life events (including good stuff like a promotion) have left her without the time she feels that Monster Crush deserves. We wish Heaven-Leigh the absolute best of luck and want you all to know that the second she has time to come back, there will always be a seat waiting for her. But the show must go on! At least Derek and Heaven-Leigh feel that it should. So... Derek is joined this week by his new co-host. Someone you all already know from her recent guest-appearance on the show. Please welcome Jordan, AKA The Lady Dame (LD also works). LD brings her love of monsters and expertise in monster smooching to the table and is just the best for agreeing to join the show with little notice. So in honor of LD's first show, and it being the Most Monstrous Time of the Year, we bring you the most well known vampire cryptid around... El Chupacabra! Get ready for a great time that also SUCKS in the best of ways. Featuring: Leftovers with Step-Dad, Older than a Chupacabra(?), SPOOKY NEWS, Hop like a Tasmanian Tiger, Future Grunch, Types of Chupacabras, Top 5 Cryptids, Don’t believe everything you see in movies, and MANGE!
