It’s been a long time, we shouldn’t of left you. Without a dope beat to step to. And in this episode we’re stepping to the beat of a different drum - that of Hawaii’s ancient night marchers.

It’s been a minute since we brought you the kind of good old-fashioned spooks that CotV is usually all about, and what better topic to set the tone for scary than the unsettling Navajo legend of the Skinwalker. We discuss the lore behind these peculiar beings, before reading some stories by those misfortunate enough to have possibly encountered them in person. So lock your doors, shut your curtains, and stay off desert roads between 2 and 4AM - things are about to get creepy.

Welcome to our second quarantine spesh. It’s so good to see you! Can we get you a snack - hot tea and popcorn? Salted banana? Some sea urchin and jam on toast perhaps? This weeks episode is all about your favourite weird food combos - the kind you find yourself craving but make your friends and fam seriously side-eye you.

Welcome to part one of our quarantine themed special! We hope these episodes will bring you some much-needed positivity during this truly out the gate time we're living in. In this episode, Nat shares what she's been watching, playing, and doing to keep her spirits (not the ghostly kind) up during the lockdown period. Whether it's binge-watching a much-adored Lovecraftian kids TV show or reading mind-breaking horror comics late at night, maybe you can add one of Nat's lockdown loves to your quarantine entertainment rotation.

Howdy doody, fellow quarantinies. Since we’re all stuck inside our homes for the foreseeable future, we thought it might be prudent to educate ourselves on how to avoid the ire of various household entities. Then, if your dating life has taken a sharp decline due to lockdown, perhaps take a page out of Amanda Teague’s book and spark up a relationship with your resident ghost. Thanks for listening, and apologies for the mediocre Skype audio.

We love a bit of spooky fiction, and to start this episode we rate the creep-factor of some bite-sized horror stories. Then Stef takes us on a deep, dark dive into the twisted world of so-called "haunted attraction" - McKamey Manor... where one man's thrills are another's personal nightmare.

It's so hot in New Zealand right now, we feel like we could unexpectedly burst into flames... and in this episode we talk about some people who did just that: We cover spontaneous human combustion, before setting sail with some haunted royalty... she's sassy, classy, and a lil badassy - give it up for the RMS Queen Mary!

It's (un)lucky number 13! In this episode, we discuss three towns with varying levels of spookiness, and decide which one we would stay in for 24 hours (preferably none of them, to be honest).
