Exploring The Myths Behind The LegendsEpisode 42 - It's Always The Quiet Ones (Carrie)Carrie is a high school girl that was raised by a very religious mother and has no friends. In fact, it seems as though her entire community is out to get her.

Exploring The Myths Behind The LegendsEpisode 40 - The Blood Is The Life (Bram Stoker's Dracula)It may sound like a dumb question, but, is Dracula really evil? It would seem that, at least in his portrayal in this film, his motivations come from more of a gray area ... Feeling betrayed by God for taking away his bride (in both life and the afterlife) after fighting many difficult battles in his name, Dracula swears to come back from his own death to drink the blood of the living as revenge.

Exploring The Myths Behind The LegendsEpisode 38 - Hoots Line Is It Anyway? (Lechuzas; Ft. The Great American Urban Legend)Lechuzas have quite the reputation in Mexican folklore.

Exploring The Myths Behind The LegendsEpisode 33 - Two Sides Of A Coin (La Planchada & Jane Toppan)Hospitals are inherently creepy places. There's usually a palpable sense of gloom inside of them ... For this episode, we decided to talk about the legend of La Planchada, which is the ghost of a former nurse that has allegedly helped take care of patients in critical health in hospitals throughout Mexico. In a first for us, we also talk about a True Crime case, namely, the case of a nurse/serial killer named Jane Toppan, who was active around the 1890s and still stands as one of the most peculiar serial killers in US history.2021-03-171h 14

Exploring The Myths Behind The LegendsEpisode 30 - Madness and Temptation (Stephen King's N. Graphic Novel)Imagine feeling like the fate of the entire world depends on you arranging your furniture and decorations in circles. Or in you counting everything to make sure you have an even number of things. On top of that, you have horrible nightmares about an inter-dimensional creature that will cross into our world and destroy everything unless you make sure the eight stone pillars keeping it at bay don't become seven. It's enough to make anyone lose their mind ... Because there's also a theme of temptation in that story, we talk about stories from religion and Greek mythology...2021-02-241h 15

Exploring The Myths Behind The LegendsEpisode 29 - Wish I Had My Two Hours Back (Wishmaster)So Alex is a gem appraiser for a prestigious auction house, and she somehow gets herself involved with an ancient creature known as a Djinn when it escapes from its jewel prison after an accident caused by a drunk worker. Now it's up to Alex to save mankind from the evil Djinn in what turns out to be a very poorly acted disaster-piece of a movie ...

Exploring The Myths Behind The LegendsEpisode 28 - Love In The Time Of Cenobites (Hellraiser)Frank Cotton definitely got more than he bargained for in his endless quest for thrills.

Exploring The Myths Behind The LegendsEpisode 27 - How To Get A Makeover 101 (El Chupacabras; Feat. Arcane Carolinas Podcast)You know, sometimes you gotta change your look. As fashion trends come and go, we all have to adapt. We can't dress like people did in the 80s anymore without getting some strange looks (plus, those Spandex look uncomfortable AF). As such, our friendly neighborhood Chupacabras has somehow morphed from his initial alien-like appearance (as seen in our awesome logo :) ) to something that looks more dog-like (WTF?!). We are happy to announce that we collaborated with Charlie and Mike from the great Arcane Carolinas podcast for this one! They were very gracious in letting us speak to...2021-02-031h 18

Exploring The Myths Behind The LegendsEpisode 26 - Amiga Mia (Veronica, Season 2 Finale)Watching movies from other countries is a good way to learn about the way people from other cultures do things :) You can learn about their cooking, their language, how they summon demons ... In yet another tale of messing around with things you don't quite understand (kinda like us when we decided to start a podcast), we look into what happens to Veronica when she decides to contact the spirit of her dead father by using a Ouija board. For our Academic Segment, we talk about the case of Estefania, which served as the inspiration for the story...2021-01-271h 08

Exploring The Myths Behind The LegendsEpisode 25 - Deliver Us From Evil (The VVitch, Feat. Bridget Bardot)Most of us could probably relate to Thomasin, the main character in this film. She wants to experience life on her own terms and not feel stifled by her parents, her religion, or her society. The question would be, how much would we be willing to give up to get that? Join us as we talk about witchcraft as it was outlined by the British Parliament (!), as well as the infamous Salem Witch Trials in our widely acclaimed Academic Segment. For our movie critique, we are joined by our special guest Bridget Bardot (AKA Girl Behind The C...2021-01-201h 12

Join us as we talk about the different elements of this suspenseful film.

We also discuss Charro culture and history in our widely...2020-12-301h 12

Exploring The Myths Behind The LegendsEpisode 21 - Let Me See That Naughty List (Krampus)Everything has an opposite, and Santa Claus isn't the exception. Krampus is the evil counterpart to the jolly figure of Santa, and he's definitely not here to mess around. He's all about handing out harsh punishments to the ones who've been naughty, and he ain't afraid to bust out some whips and chains to get his point across. Then again, some of you wouldn't really consider that a punishment ;) Join us as we talk about the film from 2015 that was based on this Austro/German legend. Also, stick around for our much talked a...2020-12-231h 07

Exploring The Myths Behind The LegendsEpisode 20 - Mogwai Or The Highway (Gremlins)Keep them away from bright lights. Keep them away from water. Don't let them eat after midnight. Well, if it weren't for that last one, I'm sure many of us could call ourselves a Mogwai :P Join us on the first installment of our Christmas Double Feature as we talk about this timeless horror/comedy classic from the 80s. We also looked into the origins of Gremlins in the real world as a possible supernatural occurrence in the lives of British RAF pilots during the 1930s-40s. --- Send in...2020-12-161h 03

Exploring The Myths Behind The LegendsEpisode 19 - Do You Hear What I Hear? (Wendigo)Well, it certainly isn't a friendly voice. In what's become somewhat of a trend for us lately, we discuss another woods dweller in this episode, and this is one that allegedly roams the forests of certain parts the of the northern US and Canada. Join us as we converse about the possible origins and habits of the Wendigo and cover the different ways in which this creature can affect a person in our (in)famous Academic Segment.

(Mexican Shadow People)Imagine you're trying to live your best life, going through the motions like any average person, when all of a sudden, some weird, unexplained phenomena start occurring in your home. Maybe it starts to affect your family life, or maybe, you're perfectly cool with it (?!). Either way, you decide to take some video. You may not notice it at that time, but after going through the footage, you think that you can see a dark presence for a split second lurking around you ... It's not up to us to convince anyone whether they should believe in these...2020-11-251h 04

Exploring The Myths Behind The LegendsEpisode 16 - Family Tradition? (Hereditary)How much can having enough power to rule the world be worth to you? Are there any limits or lines that you wouldn't cross, no matter what? If so, then you're already a better person than a matriarch of this family, for whom it appears that nothing is out of the question. Even sacrificing some people from her own family to an ancient demon ... Join us as we discuss this and other details of this intriguing and acclaimed film (though Chuy didn't think it was all that :P). We also discuss some basic demonology and go over...2020-11-1852 min

We know of a way for you to make a new friend without having to leave the comfort of your own residence! Simply follow a very specific sequence of steps, and you'll have a new friend that won't ever leave your side. Or just let you leave. Ever :) For this episode, we decided to look into the Japanese ritual of Hitori Kakurenbo, through which you can reportedly summon a spirit/demon to play a game of hide and seek with you.

Exploring The Myths Behind The LegendsEpisode 14 - Now That's What I Call Music (The Legend Of El Silbon)Imagine, if you will, that you're taking a nice, relaxing walk in the countryside one evening. Everything is great, and to top things off, you could swear that the postcard worthy view is complemented by an eerie whistled tune. Wait ... what? For our Season 2 Premiere, we decided to discuss the South American folk legend of El Silbon. This entity roams primarily around Venezuela and Colombia, and its story has quite a few variations. What is its origin? What is its purpose? Join us to find out all the details. This time, the audience clamored Academic...2020-11-0458 min

Exploring The Myths Behind The LegendsEpisode 13 - The End Of The Beginning (Season 1 Finale)They say all good things come to an end, but they also say that endings bring forth new beginnings. As we ponder on the meaning of these two philosophical gems, we are happy to announce that this is the last episode of Season 1 of our podcast. Don't be sad, alarmed, or distraught, however, because although the first Season has reached its end (already?!), we are poring over audience suggestions (and pouring alcohol) so we can create new content for Season 2 :) In this episode, we discuss how the modern day tradition of Halloween originated in the Celtic festival...2020-10-281h 12

Exploring The Myths Behind The LegendsEpisode 12 - Stuck In The Middle With You (The Haunting In Connecticut)Is there life after death? That's a question for the ages that everyone from scientists to philosophers, from doctors to religious people, and many others more have attempted to respond. In this movie, it certainly appears as though there is. However, the line between life and death is blurred for certain people that are somewhat close to it, as is the case of Matt, a young man dealing with a cancer diagnosis. Join us as we discuss the plot and themes of this haunted house story. As a bonus, we're featuring our first ever interactive segment where y...2020-10-211h 18

Exploring The Myths Behind The LegendsEpisode 11 - Let's Get It On (How Love Came To Professor Guildea)Ever feel lonely and in need of some loving? Well, Professor Guildea sure never did. As a man of science, he had no want or time for love, or any other human connection. However, it may seem as though something supernatural thought he was a hot stud and decided to get all up on his body. Is he being stalked by a thirsty ghost? Is he overstrained from his scientific work and going through a mental breakdown, like his friend Father Murchison thinks he is? Is he somehow being punished for being so selfish? Join us as w...2020-10-141h 22

On this one, we don't discuss any horror film or story at all. Rather, we decided to contact a medium named Mariah and ask her to describe how she goes about conducting her sessions, among other things. Whether or not you believe in that sort of thing is up to you, but we here at EMBL sure had...2020-10-071h 12

Exploring The Myths Behind The LegendsEpisode 9 - Still A Better Love Story Than Twilight (Castlevania S1)Is destroying everything and everyone by sending an army of flesh-eating demons justified if it is done as an act of vengeance ?

Exploring The Myths Behind The LegendsEpisode 8 - Lost In Translation? (Ju-on Origins)So ... we decided to tackle the Netflix series dealing with the backstory of one of the most popular horror franchises in recent times. The result? Well, we were confused AF and could not agree on an explanation as to how or why things happened :P With a long history of grief that includes, but is not limited to, kidnapping, abuse, infidelities, murder, mysterious disappearances, (and maybe even worm holes and time travel?!), The Cat Mansion is definitely one of the most haunted fictional locations in Japan. Listen in, if you dare ... but be warned. You might just...2020-09-231h 21

Exploring The Myths Behind The LegendsEpisode 7 - Talk About A Guilty Pleasure (Mr. Brooks)Mr. Brooks is the Man Of The Year :) He has a gorgeous wife (but kinda ditzy), a loving daughter (or so it seems), a successful business (making boxes?), and he is widely respected in his community (money talks). He's pretty much the embodiment of the American dream! Oh, and he's also a mass murderer who has an evil (but really cool) imaginary friend, so ... yeah. It could be argued that this film isn't from the horror genre, but it still has elements that are worthy of analysis. Besides, we are joined by a...2020-09-161h 41

Exploring The Myths Behind The LegendsEpisode 6 - The Chew Chew Of Un-Death (Train To Busan)Asking the question "does this look infected?" has never been more appropriate as it was in this movie.

We see people rising to the occasion and others revealing their selfish nature. Which one would you be?
