Ep. 92: Halloween 2024 - The Russian Sleep Experiment

This is our 3rd anniversary episode! We'll do our annual candy sales statistics for Halloween 2024, and there's a new number one. For this year's creepy story, Crystal talks about the urban legend "The Russian Sleep Experiment." Did researchers really experiment on five prisoners of war in the 1940s with a stimulant gas to keep them awake for thirty days, or is this just another creepy pasta? On What We're Watching we talk about two Halloween related shows, the 2024 TV series "Hysteria!", and the 2007 movie "Trick R Treat." On Layla and Coffee Talk, we talk about how Coffee's bowl is no match for her mighty hunger. Find us on the web: https://www.scarysavannahandbeyond.com Hate ads? Looking for extra content?
