Thurls life may not have been spooky in and of its self, but he did plenty of spooky voices for Disney and other companies. His most notable credits would include the lead vocal on the Haunted Mansion's "Grim Grinning Ghosts", the singer of "You're a mean one, Mister Grinch" and, for 50 years, he was the voice of Tony The Tigger for Frosted Flakes!

Subscribe, rate and review Join The Spookaroos Tonight Eric is joined by Tyler Clapp to discuss Spooky Wrestlers! That's wrestlers who had either spooky, horror, supernatural or occult themed-characters. It's not a list of the greatest necessarily, just some that we wanted to discuss. This show ran long so there were some that were cut out to be posted in a mini episode down the line. Tonight you'll hear all about WWE, WCW, ECW AEW stars like Kane, The Boogie Man, Kamala, Abedon, Papa Shango and many more. We've already talked about The Undertaker and if you're wondering why Kevin Sullivan and The Dungeon of Doom didn't make the list, well all I can say is "stay tuned"!

Subscribe, rate and review Join The Spookaroos For decades there has been an urban myth that if you watch closely, you can see a serial killer in the film The Exorcist. Well, this is one urban legend that turns out to be at least partly true! Paul Bateson does briefly appear in the hospital scene of The Exorcist and he was convicted of a gruesome murder which did help to inspire another film, Cruising. But was he a serial killer who hunted gay men in leather bars? Let's look at the evidence and see what conclusions we can draw on tonight's Spooky Times with Eric D!

What spirits tormented Joe, Elke, and their guest? What did the various mediums who came to perform senses in the house have to say about it? And who was the potato-nosed ghost? Find out on tonight's Spooky Times with Eric D! Music By Occultic Overtones  Joe Hyams and Elke Sommer, the haunted couple Listen to this episode
Subscribe, rate and review Join The Spookaroos After a technical SNAFU ruined their previous episode about The Titanic, Eric welcomes back Tristyn Sepersky this time to discuss an urban legend with no actual name so we'll just call it Long At The Fair! Partly because apparently Eric refuses to say the word "exhibition". It's strange. Anyway. A girl and her mother check into a hotel in France. They got their separate ways for one reason or another depending on which story you hear. When the girl returns, her mother is missing but even more concerning, when she asks for help finding he, the hotel staff insist the girl checked in alone! Are you ready to have your sense of reality questioned??? Also, Eric and Tristan sing some Chicago for you as they discuss The Mandela Effect. Ooh-ooh, no, baby please don't go! Music by Occultic Overtones (and Chicago) Listen to this episode Subscribe, rate nd review Join The Spookaroos Welcome to the first official episode of the newly-rebranded Spooky Times!!! Host Eric D will explain the rebranding at the end of the episode but first let's talk about The Gloucester Sea Serpent! During the summer of 1817 hundreds of credible witnesses claimed to have seen something very unusual in and around Gloucester Harbor. No-one could say exactly what it was and they sometimes disagreed about what it looked like, but most described a 50 to 100 foot long sea serpent frolicking in the harbor. Some wanted to worship it, some wanted to kill it, everyone wanted to know what the hell it was! Much of tonight's story comes from an article entitled The Myth and Mystery of The Great Gloucester Sea Serpent by Tom Halsted writing for The Gloucester Daily Times. Music by Occultic Overtones  Original Sketch of The Gloucester Sea Serpent looking a bit more terrible that witnesses described. Listen to this episode
