• The Cocoanut Grove Tragedy of 1942

  On Thanksgiving weekend, 1942, the city of Boston was abuzz. Men serving in WWII were home on leave for the holiday, movie star Buck Jones was in town on a war bond tour as well as promoting his two upcoming films, and the undefeated Boston College Eagles were eager to celebrate a surefire victory over their rivals, the Holy Cross Crusaders. However, on the morning of Saturday, November 28, when Boston Globe reporter Jerry Nason wrote "This is anything-can-happen day," he had no idea how prophetic his statement would prove to be.   To donate to the Cocoanut Grove Memorial Fund, visit www.cocoanutgrove.org or click here.   For ad-free and bonus episodes: Subscribe on Apple Podcasts -OR- Join our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/horrorwoodpodcast   Follow us!

• "The Innkeepers" & Its Real-Life Haunted Setting

  When director Ti West checked into the Yankee Pedlar Inn in Torrington, CT, he had no idea his accommodations would provide the inspiration for his next horror film. "The Innkeepers," set and shot in the historic building, follows two employees on a quest to explore the haunted location. Life began to imitate art, however, when the film's cast and crew began experiencing spooky events while residing at the inn during production.   Subscribe on Apple Podcasts   Join our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/horrorwoodpodcast   Follow us!

• The Murder of Model Linda Sobek

  One week before Thanksgiving in 1995, model/actress Linda Sobek disappeared. The last people to speak with her - her mom and her roommates - all said the same thing: that she was headed to a photo shoot. Tragically, she never made it back home. Linda's case inspired Anthony Zuiker to create the television series "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation."   Join our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/horrorwoodpodcast   Follow us!
