The Mystic Menagerie Podcast Episode 2 - Halloween Edition

he second episode of the show featured a real mixed bag of items and covered many aspects of the alternative arts. There is a review of a book called “The Geek Magician’s Cookbook” by Mat Parrot which explains the secrets of sideshow performers, exploring bizarre music we look at the disturbing song ‘Hamburger Lady’ by Throbbing Gristle and talk about the horrific real-life story that inspired it.

Bizarre cinema fans are catered for with our look at the 1960s Italian ‘shockumentary’, Mondo Cane which featured strange and disturbing events from around the world all set to a soundtrack of easy listening grooves. We also discuss the difference between the US and UK celebrations of Halloween and how it is seen and viewed very differently in both places.

The first Paranormal Corner goes into the depth about the rather strange disappearance of student Elisa Lam and the various theories behind this odd and disturbing event.
