Is cooking art? Is it trauma? Is it a gateway to poisoning your enemies? On this week’s FriGay the 13th, we’re stirring the pot — literally and historically — and diving into why the kitchen might be the scariest room in the house. We kick things off with an opening skit featuring Matty eating pasta like a raccoon behind a 7-Eleven (Andrew’s words, not ours). From there, things only escalate.  

🔪 HORROR IN REAL LIFE — Foodies and the insufferable beauty of “The Menu” — SNAP, growing up cooking, and why everyone on the internet wants you to “scroll to recipe” — Poisonings throughout history: Aqua Tofana, inheritance powder, arsenic queens, mushroom murders, bleach coffee, and more — Listeria outbreaks + the worst food poisonings on record TL;DR: Trust nobody’s cooking. Especially your spouse’s.

From the haunted plantations of Louisiana to the spiritual resistance of Haiti, Vodou and Hoodoo have long been misunderstood—and often sensationalized. But what’s the truth behind the magic?

🎬 HORROR IN THE MOVIES: We dive into THE SKELETON KEY (2005) and JESSABELLE (2014), two Southern Gothic tales where secrets, spirits, and spells collide.

🍿 WHATCHA BEEN WATCHIN’, BITCH?!
