In this special Halloween Episode, Sadie and Stauney dive into the 19th-century popularization of gothic/horror fiction and how women dominated the genre as the main storytellers of the movement, despite the fact that history has forgotten them. Horror author lists are largely dominated by men, with women being responsible for popularizing the genre clearly back in the 19th century and continuing to popularize it year after year. Stauney and Sadie also just chat about their past Halloweens, costumes, scary movies, ghosts, the creepy stories they were forced to study in high school, and more!
