What happens when everyone, from a washed up professor, to a state trooper, to a news anchor, and even a TV network executive all pin their hopes on a live TV event about the nation's most infamous haunted house? Nothing good for them, which makes it a great book for us! Stephen and Mark dive into the world of "The Supernaturals" by David L. Golemon.

Their whisky sampling on this episode will be WOLFBORNE by Three Floyds.

Literature is full of stories about the nature of reality, the bending of it, or the outright removal of it. On this episode, we muse upon reality. To keep us ground, we sample Stork House Rye. And just in case you haven't heard....

Our oopsisode of Hell House is about....well, you'll just have to listen. Our bourbon revisit is Bib & Tucker Double Char Bourbon

"Hell House" by Richard Matheson is an American classic of horror. Published in 1971, Hell House is a product of the end of the 60's and the questioning of the ideals of the previous two decades. It is horrific, graphic, scandelous, gory, and just generally an great scary tale. Debauchery, possession, cannibalism. Really, what more could you ask?

Th bourbon on this episode is Cream of Kentucky, a long standing world famous label that has ties with the artist Norman Rockwell. If you would like to see some of the advertizing Rockwell did for the label back in the day, you can find those easily with a quick search of Norman Rockwell and Cream of Kentucky. Also? After a book like Hell House, you need a bourbon like Cream of Kentucky to sooth all the scratches and cuts to your psyche.

Be sure to check out Filmland's website. Ask The Filmologist to recoomend a bottle or suggest a cocktail. It is both helpful and HILARIOUS.

We're back, and we're drinking Chicken Cock Double Oaked! There was a book, but we're having a hard time remembering it.

In this episode, two timelines collide. Something must have happened. We thought we recorded this once before, but upon looking, there was nothing. We recorded again, and now there are fragments of the ghost of a show inside the episode!

This week we are getting scared to death with "There is no Antimemetics Division" by QNTM. This story is like a British spy novel set in the universe of cosmic horror with a decidedly 21st Century feel. It is terrifying, crushing, and awe inspiring. We love it.

Appropriately enough, we're pairing it with The Devil's Tower from Redwood Empire, an equally mysterious and awe inspiring high rye bourbon whiskey.
