Dead Air | Ep. 05 | Mike Peed the Bed and the Amityville Flies Are Real

Dead Air is what happens between Fear Archive episodes — no research, no structure, no plan. Just Amanda and Mike talking until something disturbing comes up. It always does. This week: Mike took magnesium because he read on Reddit that writers use it to have vivid dreams. It worked. He dreamed he was urinating. He was not dreaming. He woke up, slipped on dog vomit on the way to the bathroom, and started the day covered in both. This is how the episode opens. It does not get more dignified from there. Amanda watched twelve Amityville films back to back while her house filled with actual flies. Not metaphorically. Every time flies appeared on screen she had to pause the movie because there were real flies buzzing around her. The electric fly racket was broken. It was a situation. Also: the original Amityville Horror manuscript was reportedly cursed, the spirits follow anyone who thinks about them, and the only protection is crossing running water. Mike moved upstate and crossed a river. He thinks he is probably fine. Hosted by Amanda Kagiwada and Michael Ryan Assip. Executive produced by Cassie Jozefov. A Violet Hour Media production.
