Welcome to the 2025 Super Mystery Bros Halloween MONSTER MASH.
In 1995, something sinister stalked the hills of Puerto Rico, leaving hundreds of animals dead in its wake, most of them completely drained of blood. Rumors swirled of a cryptid creature with glowing red eyes, dinosaur-like skin, and straw-like fangs with the power to suck a goat dry like it's a Capri Sun.
In the small town of Canóvanas, a Vietnam War veteran mayor rallied an angry mob of residents to hunt the beast, with surprising results. Was it an alien? A government experiment gone wrong? Or just mass hysteria fueled by a bad 1990s B-movie?
Join Ivan and Nate for a Halloween deep dive into the legend of El Chupacabra, the half-reptile, half-kangaroo, half-alien creature that turned heaven on Earth into a living hell. Featuring eyewitness testimony, wild theories, and Ivan’s glorious return after a year-long hiatus.
Most important of all, hear the terrifying true story of Ivan’s neighbor’s encounter with the Chupacabra. You will be SHOCKED and HORRIFIED by what you hear.
If this episode isn’t on your bucket list... it should be.
