A word of caution: this episode contains themes some listeners might find disturbing. 

It’s officially Spooky Season, and the Gothic Girls are kicking off their favorite time of the year with a review of some of the creepiest art they could find. From pieces created hundreds of years ago to a modern performance artist, H and K delve into some of the most sordid and gruesome artwork ever created. Throughout the month of October, enjoy this Spooky Season series...XOXO.
