The Vault of the Vampire
Welcome, Spooky Lovelies! How elegant you look in your vampire-inspired attire! Tonight, by candlelight, we shall visit grave after grave after grave until we've had our fill of all the bizarre batterings the bodies of the supposed vampires have sustained. They are many and grievous. From stakes through their heart to stones in their mouth, "vampires" know grave treatment. Join us!
Special Thanks to Sounds Like and Earful Music Supply for the amazing music AND sound design during this episode.
