  • Episode 39: Return to the Lizzie Borden House
    Mar 4 2025

    For the second time in my life, I stay the night at the Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast, a crime scene turned morbid historical attraction. Hear me and my girlfriend Dani October talk about our experience there, as well as at the crime scene next door, where Lizzie's great aunt drowned two of her children. It's not a B&B, though. Just a coffee house. Called Miss Lizzie's Coffee.

  • Episode 38: Happy Halloween 2024
    Oct 29 2024

    I discuss the 2024 OTIS Halloween Season that I do every year on oddthingsiveseen.com and how it kinda went awry from my original intention, and I go deeper into this year's theme of "Is Halloween Getting Annoying?"

  • Episode 37: Chasing Zombies in Romero-Land and Savini-ville
    Sep 8 2024

    In this episode, we travel to Pittsburgh to see horror movie sites connected to George Romero and Tom Savini, while waxing (and waning) nostalgic on how much has changed at both the sites and in my own life since my original 2006 visit to the place back in the first days of OTIS.
