Join Alyx as they host a spine-chilling live episode from ScareFest 16 in Lexington, KY! They’re joined by Steven and Troy from the Bloodlust and Bourbon podcast to talk about their favorite moments from the fest and dive deep into horror movie lore. Steven also hits us with a childhood legend his mom told him about small creatures called the Handheels—beings used to scare him away from the dryer lest he runs the dryer himself! We have a few other ScareFest attendees tell us their favorites parts as well.From ghostly encounters to the scariest scenes, the conversation takes a wild turn when Alyx reveals their love for Twister as a true horror movie—because what’s more terrifying than an unstoppable force of nature?Steven had the thrill of meeting Hellraiser creator Clive Barker, and Alyx got to meet Sean Whalen from Twister (of course!). Troy then shares his encounter meeting the legendary Dick Warlock, the actor and stuntman from Halloween II, who ran into Troy playing the new RetroRealms Halloween game that Dick did voice work on. What are the odds?Be warned, this episode is a bit more chaotic than usual, as the uncontrolled live environment adds some unpredictable fun.
