32: Boogeymen (The Girl Who Cried Tikolosh)
We’re back! Thank you for your patience and a thousand blessings upon your house. Now, pour yourself a delightful glass of curdled milk or blood (we won’t judge) and heed these warnings three! A South African sex pest, a beautiful murder bird wife, or a maniac with a hook for a hand might be lurking around the next corner! We’re talking boogeymen this week. Intruders that go bump in the night, judge your messy house, and then force-feed you baby food. A little lost? You’ll just have to listen. Segments: The Tikolosh, Schnabelperchten, and Cropsey with a Willem DaFoe appreciation interlude.
Content Warnings: Discussions of rape, gore, violence against children, violence against disabled peoples, kidnapping.
