We'll start with a discussion about how people decorated their yards for Halloween in the 80's and how modern Halloween displays often come under fire for being too graphic. Where does Eric stand on the issue? The answer may surprise you. We'll move on to talk about incidents where real-life corpses were mistaken for Halloween decorations, Halloween pranks that turned into accidental suicides, and the intriguing case of Elmer McCurdy, the old west outlaw who ended up as a neon-painted corpse in a funhouse.

Like us on Facebook Subscribe, rate, and review Tonight's episode is not for the especially sensitive. It deals with some very intense subject matter and NOT in the normal way. Listener discretion is advised. This week Eric takes on one of the most taboo subject of all time: Necrophilia. Necrophilia is the sexual attraction to human corpses and, happily, cases of nercophiliacs acting on their impulses are fairly rare...but the attraction its self may be far more common than society is willing to admit. Tonight we'll go over the case of Francois Bertrand, the 19th century necrophiliac who was captured after exhuming multiple corpses and having his way with them. But why did he do it? And how? But mostly WHY?!?! We'll also discuss some suspected causes and possible therapeutic treatments which may help those with these compulsions. It's a nasty, morbid and taboo subject, but hey, they can't all be about Punky Brewster!!! |
