Ep. 83: Freddy vs Jason.. vs Real Life?- The case of Daniel Gonzalez & Friday the 13th

Happy Friday the 13th weekend, spooky friends! This week brings us the ultimate fear factory—Friday the 13th, its origins, the urban legends, and of course, those slasher movie classics that made you swear off lakeside cabins forever. We’ll also be getting into the chilling case of Daniel Gonzalez, the Freddy Krueger copycat killer who took inspiration from horror movies in all the wrong ways. From haunted lakes and creepy campsites to Wes Craven’s wild imagination, this episode is packed with all the slashers, screams, and supernatural thrills your spooky heart desires. And trust me, you’ll never look at a summer camp quite the same way again. Also, I need your ghostly input! Think you know Alaska’s most haunted place? Hit me up with your suggestions for our Haunted Road Trip minisode at the end of the month—I want to know where the spirits are hiding in the Last Frontier! So, grab your popcorn, turn off the lights (if you dare), and let’s get into it! Cheers!
