This week on Something Wicked we take you through the full, brutal saga of Elizabeth Short, aka The Black Dahlia. Her childhood shaped by illness and abandonment, he Hollywood-sized ambitions, her messy love life, and the move to LA that became the hinge of history. Then we plunge into the infamous 1947 murder that stunned the nation: the discovery of her bisected body, the media frenzy that followed, the chaotic police investigation, and the long list of suspects ranging from sketchy boyfriends to surgeons with way too much free time. With dark humor, deep research, and absolutely no mercy for the incompetency, this episode unpacks the life, death, and enduring mysteries surrounding The Black Dahlia - and why this case still haunts true crime to this day.

Episode 69: The History and Lore of Vampires
Tonight, we're sinking our teeth into one of the most enduring legends in human history: the vampire. From the blood-soaked myths of Eastern Europe, to the glittery chaos of modern pop culture, vampires have evolved from terrifying revenants to seductive icons - and they've left a permanent mark on our fears, our fantasies, and even our fashion. Join your hosts Lori and Tori, as we unravel the dark origins of the vampire myth, explore how real historical figures like Vlad the Impaler inspired centuries of horror, and trace how these creatures of the night have shaped everything from gothic literature to modern media. So grab your garlic, a stake or two, and step into the shadows - because tonight, we're finding out just how deep the bite of vampire lore truly goes. Happy listening!

Episode 68: Ronald Clark O'Bryan, The Man Who Killed Halloween
Halloween - the one night we celebrate sugar, scares, and suspiciously bad decisions. But in 1974, one Texas dad turned every parent's worse nightmare into a horrifying reality. Ronald Clark O'Bryan - later dubbed "The Man Who Killed Halloween" - murdered his own son with a poisoned Pixy Stick, and in doing so, murdered the innocence of Halloween itself. In this chilling episode, Lori and Tori dive into the real story behind O'Bryan's greed-fueled crime, how it ignited decades of fear over "poisoned candy", and why that myth still haunts suburban neighborhoods every October. Expect dark humor, Halloween-night atmosphere, and a healthy dose of sarcasm as your favorite spooky duo unravel the truth, debunk the panic, and remind you that the real monsters often live right next door.
