  • 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.

  • 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. Disclaimer, this episode does cover the Choking Game. It is a rough episode and we hope that you all will proceed cautiously.

  • Betty woke up and chose violence for this episode. While being fueled by sass and coffee she drops the bomb that Silent Hill was based on a real town in the United States, Centralia. Mean while Manda is in a much better mood than Betty reminds us once again why we should stay out of the heckin forest, especially when it is covered in Mist.
