Welcome
Halloween is near at hand. Our travels are about to begin. The gates are creaking open. Shadows lengthen from the tomb doorways.
You and I are about to go on a journey. No, not a celebrity journey of self-discovery, or any such piffle. We’re setting out to visit the current cribs of the most despicable dead. We’ll find the remains of those who were ghouls before they were even ghosts.
In each video or audio episode, we’ll tell a tale to trigger your tremors. So many times, over the centuries, our forebears stood at life’s crossroads with a choice to make. And so many times, they opted to make the world just that much worse. Even when they had every reason to understand the consequences of their actions, they were led by greed, vanity, hatred and callousness.
Time to dig some dirt.
If anyone deserved to have their lives and work held up to ridicule… well, it’s these most despicable of the deceased. We’re here to jeer and mock them. We’ll be kicking the bastards when they’re down.
About six feet down.
