Nightmare Town

So this week's episode did not go as planned... meaning the file got corrupted and we couldn't use it. Luckily Betty has been saving this Tale from the Neighborhood Watch that her friend, Isaac, told her. So please enjoy Isaac's spooky tale. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/nightmaretownpodcast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/nightmaretownpodcast/support

Betty finally gets to talk about the Great Vampire Panic of the 19th Century and how Consumption relates to getting choked up. While Manda does a great job of choking Betty up by making her cry.
