About this episode
In this hauntingly delicious episode, we descend into the blood-soaked, Southern gothic world of the film Sinners —a vampire story laced with folklore, crossroads magic, and protective witchcraft. From Robert Johnson’s legendary deal with the Devil to real-life vampire lore, we explore the shadowy edges of horror and spellcraft. We cover ancient garlic rituals, vampiric goddesses like the Empusae and Lamia, and garlic’s sacred link to Hekate.
