Episode 150 | Pull a Helms Deep
from Unhinged History
This week, Angie shares many of the factors that excite her about history. She shares an overview of the Ottoman Empire, Mehmed II’s rise to power, and how his path crosses with a young Wallachian prince, Vlad Tepes. Once you add in the socio-political stances of the European kingdoms and the fear of Muslim takeovers, you now see how Pope Pius II funded the military campaigns of Vlad Tepes, who would go on to earn the spot in history as Dracula. This episode pairs well with: Pope Pius II Funds Dracula’s War

Welcome to the Gush Ghoul Club!! We're two unhinged horror besties who love watching horror movies together. We're always in search of new ghoul friends to talk horror movies with, hence the Gush Ghoul Club was born! Each month we will dive into a different genre of horror as we explore four different films that will leave you scared stiff, grossed out or wildly amused! The good, the bad, the so bad it's good and the so bad, we're yelling at the tv and trying to recover once it's over. Spoilers are a part of our podcast experience, so if you're not interested in "unmasking the monsters" so to speak, please take caution and be mindful. Also all views and opinions in this podcast are those of our own and have no association with anyone involved in these films. We're just here to sit down with some horror besties and talk about movies! So what are you waiting for? Pull up a seat, grab a snack and let's Gush!
