It's Spooky Season, Witches! Get ready for stories of real life horror movie tropes over the next few episodes. Starting with two of our favorite macabre icons Vampires and Werewolves. In 2011, a bloodthirsty man was caught brutally attacking strangers on the street in Turkey. Manuel Romasanta had some sinister quirks, but was being a werewolf one of them?

Drinking a Pear Vanilla Gin Fizz. Cheers!!
