We’re kicking off the spooky season by taking a closer look at all the big questions only we are brave enough to ask (that’s right, spooky season starts now, shut up). Questions such as, are vampires cannibals? Is it the spirit or the vessel that makes the cannibal? What constitutes a cryptid? How much hair is a reasonable amount of hair to eat?


 


We’re providing the evidence and letting the court of public opinion decide in this creepy human meat of an episode.
