That's Sick!

Turns out there's a lot of things you can do with dead bodies. Or body parts. This week, Justine tells the tale of Dr. Carl Tanzler and his (nonconsensual) corpse bride Elena. Then, JB lets us in on Catholic relics, one of their more horrifying traditions. You want a heart in a box? We've got a heart in a box.Wanna be friends?

This week, Heather and Justine take JB on a dark journey through the underground. First, Justine digs deep into the world of people who live underground in New York City. Full disclosure: the sickest thing down there is really just the rotting corpses of dead rats. But it's sick-in-an-interesting-way, so JB allows it. Next, Heather takes us down a very different sort of tunnel, where all sorts of unflushables lurk to ruin the lives of public works employees.Wanna be friends?
