Time for us Broadway fans to get a 30,000 ft/macro/big picture look at the songs we love best. So we're dishing things up a little differently today. We showcasing the top/most memorable song from each Broadway that was produced from 1955 - 1973, with a couple of exceptions. There are some songs, VERY well known, that we don't want you to ever tire of hearing and so they have been held back. But, sit back and enjoy hits from “Guys and Dolls”, “The King and I”, “West Side Story”, “The Sound of Music”, “Sweet Charity” and many more.

In deze podcast praat Martin Kuiper met Rinus en Erik Kuylaars over het ontstaan van Rinus'Garage en hun samenwerking bij dit project. Ook is er aandacht voor de samenwerking met Triggerfinger, de eerste sessie voor Rinus'Garage, waar een nieuwe versie is opgenomen van The Wall of Dolls van Golden Earring uit 1970 een song geschreven door Rinus met tekst van Barry Hay. De track is onderdeel van Rinus' Garage, het solo project van Rinus Gerritsen. Iedere maand brengt de voormalig bassist van Golden Earring een nieuw nummer uit, vaak met een gastzanger of zangeres. Bij elk nummer hoort een eigen podcast, waarin wordt gepraat over het ontstaan van de track. Iedere song heeft een uniek verhaal en een unieke muzikale kleur. In this podcast, Martin Kuiper speaks with Rinus and Erik Kuylaars about the origins of Rinus'Garage and their collaboration on the project. They also discuss the collaboration with Triggerfinger and the first Rinus'Garage session, which produced a new version of Golden Earring's 1970 song "The Wall of Dolls"—a track written by Rinus with lyrics by Barry Hay. The song is part of *Rinus' Garage*, Rinus Gerritsen's solo project. Each month, the former Golden Earring bassist releases a new track, often featuring a guest vocalist. Each release is accompanied by a dedicated podcast discussing the track's creation; every song has a unique story and a distinctive musical character. The Wall Of Dolls (Rinus Gerritsen, Barry Hay) The song I'm playing with my Belgian friends I wrote many years ago, Barry's lyrics however aren't dated at all !!

Traitors RHAP-up: Recaps of The Traitors from Around the World with Pooya
Traitors: New Blood Premiere Week Recap Watch the podcast on YouTube! Traitors: New Blood is here, and Rob Cesternino and Pooya dive into the action-packed first two hours of Season 5, where everyday players take the place of celebrities in the iconic castle setting. The hosts break down how this shift changes the game, from the selection of the first traitors to a high-stakes twist that puts two contestants head-to-head for a coveted spot in the turret. This civilian season kicks off with plenty of strategic jockeying, clashes of personality, and early alliances, giving fans of Traitors UK and US plenty to discuss. This week's discussion focuses on the evolution of the traitor selection format, as Joe and Tomica navigate the challenge of identifying a third teammate while being forced to banish one of two accomplices. The hosts highlight the impact of bringing in a diverse, non-celebrity cast, noting the casual vibes and more organic group dynamics at play. They also unpack the consequences of an early game misheard phrase, which sparks suspicion and a heated roundtable debate, while dissecting the mechanics of new twists brought over from international versions. Along the way, they touch on the fashion choices, emerging house factions, and the differing strategies for staying under the radar or stepping out front. Joe and Tomica weigh strategic risks in picking either Xavier or Katie as the third traitor—while one's hunger to play hard could prove costly Victor's aggressive shield grab puts a huge target on his back and sets off a chain reaction of suspicion and self-preservation Christy's mishearing of a comment from Madeline leads to widespread blame and a dramatic first roundtable, straining castle alliances The “Dolls” alliance emerges among the faithfuls, carving out a new social block that could shape the season's voting patterns A unique game mechanic adds prize pot incentive for banishing traitors, increasing pressure on group decisions and fueling paranoia Will Joe and Tamika bring in a controllable ally or a formidable player with a mind of their own? Can Victor escape the fallout of his questionable move, and how will early alliances shake up the faithfuls' strategy? Listen now for a deep dive into Traitors: New Blood's opening moves, strategy twists, and the fresh faces vying for victory in the castle.

While Paul is away, Amy welcomes comedian and writer Julie Klausner to dive into Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, Russ Meyer's gloriously outrageous collision of sex, drugs, rock and roll, and barely contained chaos. Originally conceived as a sequel to Valley of the Dolls, the film evolved into something far stranger, dropping three aspiring stars into a debaucherous version of Los Angeles. Amy and Julie dig into Roger Ebert's unlikely screenwriting career, Jacqueline Susann's $10 million lawsuit, and whether there's anything remotely feminist underneath all that sexploitation.

DOLLS joined Sarah & Sean for a chat and a live performance in our Radio Carrum studio.
It is a human cognitive defect that we call some animals good and put them on a pedestal, with dogs and cats on the highest pedestal, while labeling those we don't like as evil, including rats and roaches, whom we target for annihilation. The warped approach is an offshoot of our obsession with sin, a word that meant missing the mark. It has come to be associated with offending God and is saddled with moral baggage that would see the sinner destined for an eternity in Gehenna as punishment for a finite transgression. Humans are the only beings the God freaks claim have free will, a necessary component in the moral equation without which the knowledge of right or wrong, good or evil cannot exist. This gainsays the Adam and Eve narrative, exposing the Abrahamic deity for the evil bastard it is. Neither Eve nor Adam had a comprehension of good or evil before eating of the tree's fateful fruit. They could not be morally culpable for their act of so-called disobedience. Punishing not only them but saddling every human born since with Original Sin exposes Sky Daddy's dereliction of duty. He should have taught them to navigate life's challenges with integrity rather than punishing the unaware. Sky Daddy failed mud man and rib woman and had the nerve to blame them for his shortcomings.
Listen is as Chris talks to entrepreneur Dee Dee Wright, founder of Purpose Toys and the Black doll brand Naturalistas. We believe it's especially joyful when emerging companies cancapture the trends. Beyond that, though when a company can service to consumers, dedicate themselves to creating outstanding play experiences, find a niche and stay competitive in this sometimes rough business, it's a cause for celebration. In this episode, wDee Dee talks about her career, being a relative newcomer to the business, her mission to be culturally relevant, and the amazing dolls and company she's created.

From the age of five until thirteen, she shared one bedroom with her siblings—and none of them wanted to be alone in it. Her brother woke from violent nightmares with unexplained scratches and bruises. Their bunk bed shook hard enough to wake them in the middle of the night.Above them, nearly thirty porcelain dolls watched from a shelf, many of them secondhand gifts, and the trouble seemed to grow as the collection did.One night, she saw a porcelain doll rise from its wicker chair and take two steps across the floor. By morning, the doll remained where it had stopped, and the chair was broken. Then a life-sized Barbie she had hidden on one side of the closet appeared on the other, turned toward the exact spot where she had been sitting.Were the dolls causing what happened in that room—or was something already there simply using them?#RealGhostStoriesOnline #TrueGhostStory #HauntedDoll #HauntedPorcelainDoll #HauntedBedroom #Paranormal #GhostStory #Unexplained #HauntedObjects #Supernatural Love real ghost stories?

Shane Cashman and Matthew Heppner join NDS Chronicles for a wild episode packed with listener paranormal testimonies, demonic encounters, haunted objects, witchcraft, spiritual warfare, strange dreams, cursed items, and supernatural experiences viewed through a Christian worldview.The episode begins with Tony's story about his lifelong obsession with ships and his experience at Massachusetts Maritime Academy. What starts as a dream of becoming a ship captain turns into extreme isolation, bullying, a crisis of faith, and a desperate moment that ends with an unexpected rescue. Later, Tony describes an even stranger encounter inside his home involving a black hooded figure, physical shadows, and water faucets mysteriously turning on throughout the house.The crew then dives into Colton's collection of paranormal stories. As a child, Colton claims he encountered a human face seemingly formed from dust floating directly in front of him. Another story involves a creepy talking action figure apparently activating and moving without explanation, launching a broader discussion about haunted dolls, electronic toys, tulpas, thought forms, frequency, and whether spiritual entities can interact with physical objects.Things escalate with a terrifying basement encounter involving darkness, an intense temperature drop, paralysis-like heaviness, pressure on the hands and feet, and deep chanting seemingly surrounding the listener. This leads Shane Cashman into a larger discussion about witchcraft and a personal story involving a woman allegedly identified as a witch, mysterious illness in his household, and objects left behind that were later interpreted as possible spiritual “anchor items.”The conversation also touches on Vicki Joy Anderson, L.A. Marzulli, Christian witches, blood magic, crystals, haunted houses, spiritual discernment, and the danger of responding to perceived spiritual attacks with more occult practices.Do you believe haunted objects, curses, witchcraft, and demonic manifestations are real spiritual phenomena?

The House is officially open again after a short summer break, and this week, Olivia is taking her turn in the Hot Seat. We're talking Saint-Tropez, screenshots and of course, the hard launch we've all been waiting for… Olivia spills on why she made Pete post first, what he's really like behind closed doors and why she's letting herself find love again. But with true Attwood honesty, she's keeping it real with you Dolls. She opens up about the emotional reality of the last seven months, her internet crash out, going back to therapy and the realisation that when it comes to healing, you can't skip doing the work. She answers the burning questions you Dolls had for her: from dealing with a cheating partner and keeping the spark alive in a long-term relationship, to the hard truths she'd tell her 20-year-old self now. And finally, Olivia has a message for Pete: it's time to come to the House. ADS: Stop waiting for permission to build something. Main character energy only.

Rizz is preparing for his extremely prestigious duties as a Wing Ding judge, specifically in the traditional buffalo category, which is apparently the kind of responsibility this show has been training him for his entire life. The crew debates proper wing-eating strategy, whether fasting beforehand is genius or idiotic, and naturally gets Joey Chestnut involved in the conversation without Joey Chestnut actually being there to defend himself.Then there's actual rock-star business: Chad Gray of Mudvayne is coming into the studio. That sends everybody down memory lane with LD 50, old Mudvayne tattoos, central Illinois geography and the important question nobody else had the courage to ask: what exactly does “Mudvayne” mean? Welcome to the hard-hitting journalism portion of your favorite funny podcast.September also means Sober September, an idea Rizz immediately rejects because there's a wedding coming up and apparently his liver already accepted the calendar invite. The gang talks declining alcohol consumption, cocktail attire, velvet suits, bolo ties and the possibility of Rafe attending a wedding dressed like a cowboy who recently discovered formalwear.From there, things get considerably less responsible.A conversation about cannabis use turns into stories about modern weed being approximately 4,000 times more powerful than anyone remembers. Lern recalls taking an edible and calling her mom to talk her down. Rizz remembers falling asleep at the helm of a boat. Rafe wonders whether the ecstasy he took in the late '90s has a delayed expiration date. Nobody learns anything.The substance discussion somehow gives way to altitude sickness, canned oxygen and e-bikes capable of sending a teenager to school at highway speeds. With local schools introducing new rules for electric bikes and scooters, the crew reminisces about riding regular bikes to school—the primitive version that required legs, poor planning and occasionally missing first period.And because this is a funny podcast that refuses to behave for more than seven consecutive minutes, we eventually arrive at the day's disturbing collection of public indecency stories.There's an arrest connected to incidents on the Fee Fee Greenway. There's a Steak 'n Shake employee accused of exposing himself while delivering food to a customer's car, leading to entirely too much discussion about what accessories would somehow make that scenario worse. Then comes the truly horrifying revelation that understaffed Dollar Tree locations have allegedly become targets for public indecency incidents.Yes. Dollar Tree.As if retail employees weren't already dealing with enough.The crew dives into reports of understaffing, blind spots, online creep behavior and the increasingly obvious conclusion that some people desperately need hobbies that don't result in police reports.Then Australia enters the chat.Authorities responding to what appeared to be a mangled body stuffed inside a suitcase instead discovered a discarded silicone doll. That launches a conversation about increasingly realistic customizable dolls, AI technology, questionable ethics and one very practical problem nobody puts in the brochure: what exactly are you supposed to do with a roughly 100-pound silicone companion when you're finished with it?Goodwill probably has questions.It's buffalo wings, rock stars, bad weed experiences, e-bike rebellion, bizarre crime stories and technology moving considerably faster than humanity's ability to act normal.So basically: another day at The Rizzuto Show.This funny podcast proudly continues its mission of taking perfectly ordinary news stories and asking all the questions responsible adults had the good judgment not to ask.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

With a loyal, engaged fanbase and an addiction for pushing boundaries, the show delivers the perfect blend of humor and insight, all while keeping things fun, fresh, and sometimes a little bit illegal. 2024 © 2021 Audacy, Inc.

Ballroom icon, house music legend, and the voice behind "Cunty", Kevin Aviance sits down with Yo Aunteas! Kevin just dropped Hippopotamus (Deluxe) and opens up about everything: how Beyoncé sampled "Cunty" on Renaissance's "Pure/Honey" (and how he found out), what it's still like to be "cunty" at 58, laying the groundwork for a generation of Black queer artists, and why ballroom culture IS Black culture, period. We go track-by-track through Hippopotamus — including "Dolls," his protest record for Black trans women, the gospel cut "What a Friend," and "Bloodlines," written from a conversation with the late Father Hector Xtravaganza. Plus: his new era as a DJ, the Fever NYC party scene, growing up in Richmond and coming up in DC nightlife, a tribute to Dolly Parton, and a first look at what's coming for Beyoncé's B'Day 20th anniversary.
Step inside the quiet, graveyard shift of the KLIF newsroom during the early hours of Saturday, November 23, 1963, where Jack Ruby stands at the locked glass doors clutching a cardboard box of cold corned beef sandwiches. Having just spent the midnight hours brokering an exclusive interview with District Attorney Henry Wade, Jack returns to collect his reward—access to the inner broadcast sanctum. But as we pull back the curtain on this midnight visit, a bizarre series of eyewitness contradictions emerges, with three different newsmen all claiming they were the one to unlock the door for Jack. Once inside, the frantic nightclub owner is desperate to hear the playback of his facilitated scoop, pacing the floor, and standing in eerie silence as he stares blankly at the floor.We also expose the chilling reality of his movements, analyzing his sudden announcement that he is closing his clubs for the weekend—a gesture that sounded like paralyzing national grief to the newsmen, but effectively cleared his calendar of all operational distractions. Even more unsettlingly, while Jack stood quietly in the active broadcasting booth during the live 2:00 a.m. newscast, his loaded, nickel-plated .38 Colt Cobra revolver was hidden in his right front pocket, completely unnoticed by the overnight staff. We contrast this frantic behavior with the insights of Dallas columnist Tony Zoppi, who famously argued that the syndicate would have to be "crazy" to trust a talkative, "Guys and Dolls" character like Jack with a high-level mob conspiracy. Instead, we explore Jack's compulsive "protective reflex," showing how his emotional unraveling mirrored his historical manic episodes whenever his underworld idol, Lewis McWillie, fell into trouble.Finally, we track the final, dark chronological sequence of Saturday morning. We detail a highly suspicious 2:30 a.m. meeting near Simon's garage, where Jack sat for over an hour inside a parked car with Carousel dancer Kathy Kay and Dallas police officer Harry Olsen—who would resign days later and claim a total memory blackout of the conversation. The episode reaches a surreal climax at 4:10 a.m. inside the Dallas Times Herald composing room. There, less than twelve hours after the president was assassinated, Jack begins swiveling his hips and demonstrating a plastic-wrapped "twist board" exercise gadget to night printers, before stopping dead in his tracks to point at Lee Harvey Oswald's name and mutter: "That little weasel."

John Searles joins Book Gang to dish on his new novel Single Girls, inspired by Helen Gurley Brown and the women who transformed Cosmopolitan magazine. We welcome John Searles to Book Gang for a heartfelt conversation about his historical fiction novel, Single Girls—a story inspired by Helen Gurley Brown and the trailblazing women behind Cosmopolitan. Drawing on his years as an editor at Cosmo and his deep admiration for Helen, he brings readers behind the scenes of the magazine's revolutionary 1960s makeover. Together, we explore the mix of nostalgia, ambition, and feminist history that animates this witty, unconventional story of women's work and self-discovery. Single Girls follows Helen Gurley Brown as she assembles a team of unforgettable women to take on a skeptical publishing world, reshaping Cosmo and, in the process, the lives of millions of single women. Through playful structure, shifting points of view, and the signature Cosmo quizzes and glossaries, John immerses readers in the vibrant, sometimes chaotic world of magazine publishing and female empowerment. In this lively episode, we discuss:

The Haunted Doll Peggy | Paranormal Podcast This week, Charlie took us deep into the case of Peggy the Doll — allegedly the world's most haunted doll, a baby-sized blonde blue-eyed nightmare currently in the possession of British paranormal investigator Jane Harris, who runs an organization literally called Haunted Dolls and received Peggy from an elderly anonymous woman who simply said she was "too spooky" to keep. What makes Peggy stand out from the Robert the Dolls and Annabelles of the world is that people don't even need to be in the same room — hundreds of people who have watched videos, looked at photos, or even just scrolled past her image online have reported immediate headaches, nosebleeds, chest tightness, heart palpitations, and violent illness shortly after making eye contact with her blue eyes on a screen.

This episode covers real-life horror far more extreme than usual, including a Russian professor arrested in 2011 for keeping the mummified corpses of 29 women and girls in his apartment, each one fitted with a hidden music box. It also includes the story of a 19th-century whiskey heir who paid six handkerchiefs for a 10-year-old girl so he could watch cannibals kill and eat her, and the theory that Alexander the Great was declared dead nearly a week before he actually died. Content is more graphic than usual, so listener discretion is advised.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/necropolystREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p8e5emeCHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = The Foreboding00:00:47.354 = Show Open00:01:58.356 = Alexander the Great00:05:52.710 = The Ravenous Beast of Gévaudan00:09:41.943 = The Rape and Burial of Jessica Lunsford ***00:11:55.911 = The Dyatlov Pass Incident00:15:29.080 = The Torture Dungeon of Leonard Lake and Charles Ng00:19:10.197 = Robert The Doll00:23:08.785 = The Disappearance and Eerie Return of Bobby Dunbar ***00:26:33.271 = Albert Fish – The Brooklyn Vampire00:30:06.498 = The Strange Disappearance of the Sodder Children00:34:28.570 = Anatoly Moskvin, The Russian Who Mummified Dead Girls00:38:41.505 = The Jameson Whiskey Cannibal ***00:42:29.572 = Show Close*** = Begins immediately after inserted ad breakLISTEN ON PODCAST APPS: Look for this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other podcast apps.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: March 2022Weird Darkness this episode gathers real-life horror too extreme for scripted television, spanning from ancient Macedonia to the Congo basin and landing, along the way, in a Russian apartment stacked with mummified girls.It opens with Alexander the Great, who collapsed in Babylon in 323 B.C. after a 24-hour drinking binge triggered a sudden fever, a stabbing pain in his back, and creeping paralysis that eventually left him speechless; doctors pronounced him dead at 32. His body reportedly stayed "pure and fresh" for six days afterward, evidence ancient Greeks took as proof of his divinity. In 2019, Dr. Katherine Hall of New Zealand's University of Otago proposed in the Ancient History Bulletin that Alexander actually suffered from Guillain-Barré Syndrome, an autoimmune disorder that paralyzes the body while leaving the mind fully intact; since fourth-century-B.C. doctors checked for breath rather than a pulse, Hall's theory suggests Alexander may have been declared dead nearly a week before he actually died, and was buried alive.From there, the story moves to 18th-century France, where a wolf-like creature killed or mauled close to 300 people across three years in the Gévaudan region, most of them women and children. Fourteen-year-old shepherdess Jeanne Boulet was the first confirmed victim in 1764; a fifteen-year-old girl killed a month later survived long enough to describe her attacker as "a horrible beast". Militia leader Jean-Baptiste Duhamel organized a 30,000-strong hunting party, and King Louis XV eventually dispatched his own bodyguard, François Antoine, who killed a large wolf in September 1765; the attacks resumed within months regardless. A farmer named Jean Chastel is credited with killing the actual beast using silver bullets, reportedly after finding human remains inside its stomach.Next, the episode turns to the 2005 murder of nine-year-old Jessica Lunsford in Homosassa, Florida. Convicted sex offender John Evander Couey broke into her family's home, took her to his trailer, raped her over three days, sealed her inside garbage bags, and buried her alive in his yard while she still clutched a stuffed dolphin her father had won her at a state fair. Prosecutors later determined Jessica may have still been alive in the house during Couey's first police interview. Couey was convicted of first-degree murder and kidnapping in March 2007 and died on death row of natural causes in 2009.From Florida, the episode jumps to the Ural Mountains and the Dyatlov Pass incident of January 1959, when hiking leader Igor Dyatlov and eight fellow students from the Ural Polytechnic Institute died during an expedition toward Otorten Mountain. Investigators found their tent slashed open from the inside and shoeless footprints leading nearly a mile into the forest; the first bodies recovered, dressed only in underwear despite temperatures near negative 20 degrees Fahrenheit, were ruled hypothermia deaths. Two of the last four bodies found, Lyudmila Dubinina and Semyon Zolotaryov, were missing their eyeballs, Lyudmila was also missing her tongue, and both had clothing that tested positive for radioactivity. More than sixty years later, no single explanation, from avalanche to secret Soviet weapons testing, has been confirmed.The episode then moves to a cabin in California's Sierra Nevada foothills, where Leonard Lake and Charles Ng tortured and killed as many as 25 people between 1983 and 1985. Lake, a Vietnam veteran discharged for psychological reasons, built a cinderblock bunker behind a one-way mirror where he and Ng held women as sex slaves before killing them, dismembering the bodies, and dissolving the remains in acid; investigators eventually recovered twelve victims' remains along with roughly 40 pounds of charred bone. The pair was caught in June 1985 after Ng tried to shoplift a bench vise; Lake swallowed a cyanide capsule sewn into his jacket lining and died in custody before trial, while Ng was convicted of eleven murders in 1999 and remains on death row at San Quentin.Next comes Robert the Doll, manufactured by Germany's Steiff Company in 1904 and given to a Key West boy named Robert Eugene "Gene" Otto, who reportedly carried the doll everywhere and spoke of it in the first person. After Gene died in 1974, new owner Myrtle Reuter said the doll continued moving through her house with no explanation and eventually donated it to the Fort East Martello Museum, where curator Cori Convertito now oversees a steady stream of visitors who claim their cameras stop working in Robert's presence.From there, the episode circles back to 1912 Louisiana and the disappearance of four-year-old Bobby Dunbar from Swayze Lake. Eight months later, authorities found a boy matching his description traveling with a man named William Cantwell Walters, who insisted the child was Bruce Anderson, son of field hand Julia Anderson; the Dunbar family claimed the boy as their own anyway. It took until 2004, after years of research by Bobby's granddaughter Margaret Dunbar Cutwright, for a DNA test to prove the man raised as Bobby Dunbar shared no blood relation to the Dunbar family, meaning the real Bobby likely died in 1912 and the family had unknowingly raised Julia's son instead.The story turns next to Albert Fish, born in 1870 and later known as the Brooklyn Vampire, who spent decades torturing, killing, and cannibalizing children after enduring severe abuse in a New York orphanage as a boy. In 1928, posing as a farmer named Frank Howard, Fish lured ten-year-old Grace Budd away from her family and killed her; he wasn't identified until November 1934, when a letter he sent to Grace's mother describing the murder in graphic detail was traced back to him. Fish was executed in the electric chair at Sing Sing Prison on January 16th, 1936.Following that, the episode covers the unresolved 1945 Sodder children case in Fayetteville, West Virginia, where a Christmas Eve house fire killed, or apparently killed, five of George and Jennie Sodder's nine children. No bones were ever recovered from the wreckage despite a coroner attributing the deaths to the blaze, and the family spent decades chasing tips and alleged sightings after strangers had made ominous threats about the house burning down in the months before the fire. George and Jennie erected a billboard along Route 16 asking for information and died in 1968 and 1989, respectively, without ever learning their children's fate.From there, the story turns to Anatoly Moskvin, a Russian journalist and college professor fluent in thirteen languages who dubbed himself a "necropolyst" and visited 752 cemeteries around his hometown of Nizhny Novgorod. Moskvin was arrested in 2011 after police investigating the desecration of Muslim graves found him painting over photographs of the dead; a search of the apartment he shared with his parents turned up the mummified remains of 29 women and girls, dressed, made up with buttons for eyes, and fitted with music boxes inside their chests. Moskvin told investigators he dug up the bodies because he was lonely and confessed to 44 counts of abusing graves and corpses.The episode clos
