Spooktober: South American Horror Story - The Dirt Pod 65

This week, head south to the misty, mysterious island of Chiloé, Chile, where Amber tells Anna a story of a powerful cult of warlocks that held the island in their grip in the late 19th century CE. But, as in all good horror stories, the true villain is possibly something else entirely. Sit down for a hearty meal of the spookiest spaghetti and explore indigenous Mapuche governance, colonization, and whether the ghost stories of Chiloé might be more meaningful than they seem. Content warning: there is a brief scene describing graphic violence, but we'll warn you when it's time for sensitive ears to skip ahead.
