About this episode

Happy almost Halloween, Everyone! For those of you who have been following my channel since the early days, you might recall that I started off doing much spookier content. I love Halloween and horror, though I tend to veer more spooking and supernatural than gory. Back in 2018 I did a series exploring the evolution of 8 different horror tropes, from their ancient origins, to their modern pop culture afterlives. Last week I dug up up this the history of Vampires, The Devil, Zombies and Killers. Today I'll conjure up Witches, Ghosts, Werewolves and Horror Comedy.

Join me every Tuesday when I'm Spilling the Tea on History!
