Ok, we're so EXCITED to share this special episode with our listeners. We met Rob Shiells waiting in line for a LVCRFT audio immersive experience at Midsummer Scream. Little did we know he was a part of the cast not only of the SCREAM WARRIORS audio immersive experience but he is also the PRODUCER of this short film Hidden Lives. So when he reached out to us to be on our podcast we were happy to oblige.
Patreon members got EARLY ACCESS and the ZOOM CALL VIDEO on August 6th, 2024.
The film is slated to premiere SEPTEMBER at the famous Chinese Mann's Theater in Hollywood, CA.

Redlands is one of our favorite areas to visit. Especially on a sunny crisp SoCal day. One of those charming downtown areas that take you back to the early days of California. The town is full of charming historic Victorian Houses, Brick and Mortar buildings and is known to be full of HAUNTINGS.
This episode we're talking all things REDLANDS and what we did in one afternoon.
Inland Empress *inspired by a Sunrise Gin & Juice by foodtalkdaily.com
2 oz Empress 1908 gin
4-6 oz FRESH Orange Juice (we stock up at the Etiwanda Historical Society during their orange sale)
1 oz Grenadine ( HOMEMADE preferred reduce equal parts pomegranate juice and sugar)
Depending on your cocktail glass use less or more orange juice. Over ice pour gin, orange juice and grenadine to create a layer effect. Garnish with an orange slice or maraschino cherry. Stir before drinking if desired.
We decided on this cocktail for an interview we did with I.E. Alive but put a San Bernardino twist on it. The purple gin is in ode to our hometown Rancho Cucamonga's grape logo and the orange juice from fresh oranges because the I. E. was once known as the ORANGE EMPIRE.

Recently, we met up with other Creepy Creators and finally got to meet Psychic Buster. We fully engage in a conversation about mental health, autism, adult ADHD and his current show at Bob Baker's Marionette Theater Hallowe'en Spectacular.
October 10th is not only our birthday but is WORLD MENTAL HEALTH day. October is also ADHD awareness month.
Mental health is important and ADHD is close to our hearts. There is nothing wrong with being Neurodiverse neurodiverse family/friends in a Neurotypical world can be incredibly challenging.
*Terms such as “neurodiverse” and “neurodivergent” were introduced in the 1990s by autistic sociologist Judy Singer as an alternative to deficit-based language, such as “disorder.” Singer highlighted notable strengths of many individuals in the autistic population that include abilities to focus, recognize patterns, and remember factual information. A “neurodivergent” person refers to a person on the autism spectrum or, more generally, to someone whose brain processes information in a way that is not typical of most individuals. These people may have learning disabilities, attention deficit and anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and Tourette’s syndrome. Through a neurodiversity lens, such conditions reflect different ways of being that are all normal human experiences.
“Neurodiversity” is usually used to describe a group of neurodivergent individuals, it also refers to all of humankind because everyone has a unique way of processing information.

1tsp apple cider vinegar

Oh this one has been a long time coming!! We have been reading The Vampire Lestat by Anne Rice for what feels like an eternity. Which is rather fitting actually... We discuss this book and why it is important to read if you're watching AMC+ Interview with the Vampire Series. Included in this episode are clips of interviews of Anne discussing Lestat and Gender identity.
We just re-vamped our Virtual Book Club on our website FrolickingChronicles.com to include a monthly pick. I was inspired by my local Horror Fiction Book Club she just found at Barnes and Noble in Huntington Beach. T*
Where to watch the show:

Happy Autumn Equinox, the day of the year when day and night have equal amounts of time. It is a time to reflect, be grateful and find balance.
In this episode we're talking Mabon (Son of Mother).
How to celebrate it? Food, flowers, and traditions. Wait? Have we already been doing these things and we just didn't know it?
Oh and how about the perfect FALL book read for witches? SLEWFOOT by Brom is a Colonial New England folklore tale that is sure to intrigue you.
So light a candle and speak your thoughts of gratefulness it's Mabon time.

Ooh have you seen the movie A Haunting in Venice yet?
WE DID! and we must say it is a Cinematic BEAUTY!! Visually Glorious. Hear what we have to say about it. WARNING, there will be SPOILERS!
AND Roni* shares here experience attending "A SEANCE" at The Olde World Emporium with Adela Lavine and Ghost Watch Paranormal.
Cocktail the Yellowjacket by *moodymixologist.com
*The Yellowjacket takes those flavors to the next level by replacing some of the honey syrup with the herbal punch of yellow Chartreuse.
- 2 oz gin
- ½ oz Yellow Chartreuse
- 1 oz lemon juice
- ½ oz honey syrup (recipe in Notes below)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker and fill it 3/4 with ice.
- Shake until chilled, then strain into a cocktail glass.
- Garnish with a lemon twist.
*Honey syrup is nothing more than a mix of honey and water. There are variations on how much water to use, but a simple honey syrup is just one part honey stirred together with one part water until the honey dissolves.
Once the honey has been ‘loosened’ by the water, it mixes effortlessly into drinks of all kinds, hot or cold.NBP podcast A Haunting in Venice episodeThe Act Gypsy Rose The Vulture article about the show The ActSharp Objects Hbo show starring Amy AdamsParentification Kids learn their own feelings and needs are a threat leads to negative mental and emotional effects

It's not quite Fall, in fact we have about 3.5 more weeks of SUMMER.
Although, if you're part of the SPOOKY COMMUNITY it starts after JULY 4th. Interestingly enough we attended the Midsummer Scream 2023 Halloween Convention the same weekend The Haunted Mansion movie opened in theaters.
We FINALLY both watched the movie after attending the Midsummer Scream 2023 The Haunted Mansion panel a couple weekends ago in Long Beach, CA.
We were pleasantly surprised by some of the Behind The Scenes facts and the respect NOLA (New Orleans, LA) received in the new movie. But did we both like the film? Did it resonate as a family FALL classic for the rest of Eternity? Have you watched the Eddie Murphy 2003 movie? TBH we haven't watched the Muppet Movie one yet.

Welcome to Rancho Cucamonga, CA where we spent our teenage years. For our Season 3 FINALE episode we decided that we needed to pay a nod to our hometown.
We had some bust on this tour but also we had some of the most FUN we've ever had.
We talk about the proper annunciation "CUCA" like in cucumber and reminisce about the old vineyards we would walk through. So much has changed but the haunts are still the same.

A chilly book to movie to real life drama.
<
What Ever Happened to Baby Jane by Henry Farrell
We finally finished our second book of the 2023 and we're excited to discuss this haunting novel that became our MOST FAVORITE horror movie.
Have you seen the movie? It's an old black and white starring Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. It's FABULOUS! The behind the scenes drama also led to another book Bette & Joan Feud by Shaun Considine
This book led to the FX series FEUD, a must watch after watching the movie.
It feels like forever since we finished reading the book and we will explain why we took a while longer to record this episode during the podcast.
Did we like the book as much as the movie? What led to Jane Hudson being caught?
Do you agree with Tamantha about the social etiquette were missing?

There will be SPOILERS and conflicting opinions.
Can we just talk about all things The Last of Us? Have you been watching this HBO MAX series? It is based on the action-adventure video game from 2013 by Naughty Dog. We admit we've never played the video games. However, our SPECIAL GUEST has. In fact they're the reason we anticipated this show coming out.
Welcome Sophia Bowman, YES they are Tamantha's daughter and just happens to be a GAMER! Like the best and biggest gamer of our children.
There are many reasons we enjoyed TLOU such as the Diversity, LGBTQIA+ inclusion and the intense action story telling. Every episode hit a LOVE note and made us question what would we do if we were in the story.
Roni and I's pronouns are She/her/hers we kinda skipped over the pronoun introduction as we got right into our discussion with Sophia. Thank you again Sophia for being our guest and expanding our knowledge on TLOU.
Our cocktail is a Strawberry Fizz by BucketListTummy.com
- strawberries
- mint leaves
- sugar
- crushed ice
- vodka (we used gin and Sophia went w/o the booze)
- club soda
- prosecco
- lime juice
- muddler
Instructions
- Slice and smash or muddle strawberries in a cup or bowl. Add the mint leaves and sugar.
- Add ice, vodka, club soda, prosecco and lime juice to a cocktail mixer and shake.
- Garnish with strawberry slices and more mint. Enjoy!
Note: For the episode I muddled fruit and mint in each glass. However, I didn't love mine during the recording of the episode. Was it the gin? or that I left out the LIME by accident. It's what happens when I'm focused on too many things at once i.e. family dinner, podcast set-up and not using recipe or note cards. I ended up re-making the cocktail after we were done recording w/vodka and exactly how recipe said to prepare. It was MAGNIFICENT! - T*
We are NEW fans to the TLOU fandom.

YES! We finally got to explore and investigate a haunted ghost ship. Thank you to Rhonda and Elizabeth for asking us to join the crew. It's located in San Diego, CA and we definitely had some activity.
This ship really brought us back to our early Coast Guard seaman days. It also brings to life a lot of 20,000 leagues Under the Sea by Jules Vern vibes. You should make a day trip at the very least to explore this maritime museum. It is historic, grand and all together a sailor's dream. It has been well kept under the watchful eye of Jim and his staff.
For this episode any RUM drink will do. We recorded this episode in room 216 of the Horton Grand hotel located in San Diego's Gas Lamp district just before checking out. So no cocktails for us, just a lot of water to stay hydrated. As our valet said "Always get the LATE checkout." or was it "Happiness is a LATE checkout." We don't disagree, especially for an overnight stay and being up late ghost hunting around the hotel until 2 AM.
So let's get right into it. What did we hear? What did we see? Who were we with?
If you like this episode consider joining our PATREON channel. We have a bit more details and BTS for our patrons.
Special THANKS!! to our impromptu guest hosts: Rob Hansen and Elizabeth Toller "Aunt Betsy". Super enjoyed investigating with you!

Ummm the show has finally ended and it's time to reflect on how TWD impacted us as a society. Our husbands join in on the conversation; as we sat on our couches over 11 seasons together many Sunday nights. Don't most couples have a Sunday night show?
Paxton and Tamantha even hosted a Sunday night viewing TWD potluck dinner weekly before the show got DULL. Oops did T* say that? Yes she did. But what brought us back into the TWD fold?
What were our favorite all time moments?
How do we feel about the FINAL EPISODE?

We're BACK! It's been a minute we know. Thank you for tuning in and being here. This episode is a little longer and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did recording it.
Do you celebrate Dia de Los Muertos? It isn't Mexican Halloween but a CELEBRATION of life. The life of our loved ones that passed. With the success of Disney's Coco it's hard not to notice these beautiful decorations along side Halloween decor these days. But what is it exactly? How did it come to be? Especially here in the United States. We're going to explore some history and embrace good reasons to celebrate it.
Then our Padre is going to take us down memory lane and tell us a couple spooky stories over the phone from his childhood in San Antonio, TX.
Ranch Water
1oz Tequilla
.5oz Fresh Lime Juice
Topo Chico
Over crushed ice pour in Tequila and Lime Juice then top off with Topo Chico.
Oh and guess what? Our Ancestry DNA results are in! We're going to let you in on our genetic makeup.
We do request that everyone do some work to APPRECIATE not APPROPRIATE this holiday. It's more than painting your face as a skull. Please recognize the culture beliefs behind it and build an Offend for the next Dia de los Muertos.

“Hearts are wild creatures, that’s why or ribs are cages.” -Morticia Addams
Last Saturday night we were invited by our friends from the Graveyard Mafia Hearse Club to attend a private event. This event was for FUNERAL DIRECTORS at the historic Melrose Abbey Memorial Park located in Anaheim California.
This was a pleasant surprise as we were able to walk the grounds, crypts, chapel and basement at night. We met up with our friends Cameron and Dante who escorted us around this spirited place.
Along the way we met MorTRICIA who kindly showed us to Carolyn Jones (actress that played Morticia in the 1964 The Addams family tv show) resting place.
How did The Addams family come to be anyway? Well let us fill you in on some fun facts, while discussing our night out.
A special thank you to our friends, T’s hubs Paxton for taking photos and our surprise on the spot interview guest Ronnie.

In anticipation of the TV series coming out and in memory of Anne Rice we decided to re-read The Vampire Chronicles Interview with the Vampire earlier this year.
We were heading to New Orleans and felt this would be the perfect Virtual Book Club pick. Be sure to follow our Instagram account for Book Club announcements.
So why not re-watch the 1994 movie too? Well as you know, the book is not only different but usually always better in most cases. Anne Rice 1976 novel solidified her stance on inclusion of all outcast. Introducing us to “sumptuous romance, female sexuality and queerness - many took “Interview w/the Vampire” as an allegory for homosexuality - to the supernatural genre.” - npr.org

This past Spring we spent a few days in Charleston, South Carolina. Have you been? Well if you haven’t, you need to add it to your travel list. Charleston is full of blissful charm but its DARK HISTORY resonates.
Of the three haunting tours we took Ghost Tour Charleston hosted by Adam and found on Airbnb was our FAVORITE!
Adam leads you through downtown Charleston telling spooky stories you can fact check. That was a highlight of his tour but his true talent is his STORY TELLING. His magnetic energy and enthusiasm really made his tour NEXT LEVEL fun.
We became fast friends and had to ask him to be on our show. Thank you Adam for obliging us. So here is our BONUS EPISODE for you to enjoy. Season 3 is in the works.
In this episode we chat about
- The Old City Jail

Trigger Warning. Episode does mention Suicide in regards to movie story line.National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 800-273-8255
It’s a Wonderful Life starring Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed was not a box office hit. So how did it become a family tradition over the holiday season? Tamantha’s family has watched this movie annually beginning it Christmas Eve night before bed and finishing it Christmas morning.
If you haven’t watched this film in a while or not at all it’s a bright light amongst the Holiday romcom’s and salacious favorites. This movie is nostalgic yes, but it is also delightfully funny, romantic and suspenseful as George Bailey discovers why his Life is IMPORTANT no matter the dramatic situation he finds himself in on Christmas Eve.
Find out why this movie resonates today and is worth a watch.

1 cup apple juice

2 star anise
4 cups cranberry juice
1 cup pineapple juice
1 cup orange juice
2-3 cups champagne - ginger ale
Orange slice, cinnamon sticks, cranberrries, pomegranate arils & star anise for garnish.
The day before you’ll be making the punch, open the lid to the apple juice container & place the cinnamon sticks, star anise & cloves inside. Replace the lid & put the apple juice in the fridge overnight.
The next day, add the apple juice to a pitcher or punch bowl along w/the cranberry juice, the pineapple juice & orange juice.
Add the champagne or sparkling wine, if making an alcoholic version or ginger-ale for non-alcoholic punch. You can also use ginger beer.
Stir well to combine and add the orange slices, cinnamon sticks, cranberries, pomegranate arils and star anise to the pitcher or punch bowl for garnish.
Add ice and serve.
*We mixed spices and juices in a pitcher the night before our episode recording. Before this episode we poured juice in glasses and topped off with ginger ale then garnished with orange wheel, pomegranate arils and cinnamon stick. It was gorgeously festive and tasty.

We were invited to do a paranormal investigation with our friend Louise and her friends. We rented the Kellogg house on a Saturday night from 8pm -12am.
This is a conversation about our experience as beginner investigators. What TO DO and what NOT to do, and YES we had some ACTIVITY.
Santa Ana Heritage Museum OC the Kellogg house.
Mr. Kellogg built this Queen Ann era Victorian for his second wife as a wedding gift. Find out what happened to Sybil because we could not find this story on the internet. Our host confirmed what our friend saw and told us the story.
Our cocktail of choice for this Victorian Ghost Story is
a Rhubarb Martini.

Basically, Stephen King vs Stanley Kubrick and although the movie is a horror feat we are siding with Stephen here. We’re going to have some spoilers if you haven’t read the book but THEY’RE worth hearing. Who’s character was done DIRTY? Why did the film adaptation differ so much? You may be surprised just like we were.
Did we like the REDRUM cocktail?

2oz Dark Rum
1/2oz Honey Jack
1/4 oz Luxardo liqueur
Orange and Cinnamon Stick Zest
Luxardo Cherries
Muddle cherries in the bottom of your glass fill w/ice. Shake all other ingredients and pour over ice. Garnish with cinnamon stick.
We recommend adding more cherry flavor or fresh orange juice.
You still should read the book or at least get the audio version to play during your commute or while your decorating for the Holidays.
We’re still unsure about the cocktail but this episode is our most favorite to date.

Slight trigger warning. Rape is briefly mentioned in this episode.
In reference to Kirk Douglas and Natalie Woods sister’s book.
Have you ever sailed the Seven Seas? Or seen a live SEA MONSTER?
Krakens derive from Greek Mythology and have us mystified.
We venture into the depths of the deep dark abyss ocean telling tales and the fascination with the KRAKEN SEA MONSTER.
Having just finished reading 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne written in 1870 Tamantha is fascinated by the novels technical advancements, environmentalists attitude and incredible situations within the story. Wait? The KRAKEN is the Nautilis.
Why did Walt Disney’s movie available on Disney + version differ from the book?
Roni enjoys The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen movie released in 2003 to this day.
We compare book vs movies and tell our own SEA STORIES while we were underway in the U. S. Coast Guard.
Dark and Stormy
1 oz Kraken Rum
Juice of 1 Lime

It’s VETERAN’s Day and we’d like to thank our fellow Veterans for their service. With a special thank you to Brad Pitt for playing a veteran everyone should have as a friend, Cliff Booth World War II Veteran which makes this episode fitting to air today.
We do love a good QT film and Once Upon A Time in HOLLYWOOD 2019 did not disappoint. Oh to be hippies. Just kidding those F*kn Hippies are not OK! This movie is filled with fun quotes and nostalgic scenes. Seriously though, this pop culture movie hit brought out the BEST of a very tragic true crime story. The bromance ensues while a very different SPOILER ALERT Sharon Tate ending plays out. Based on a couple real characters most of the movie is not based on the true story.
We explore Charles Manson’s hippie cult and who is vulnerable to being in a cult. It may surprise you. It certainly wasn’t all peace, love and happiness.
Do we have a connection to Manson? In a weird way we do.
If you’re in Los Angeles you should definitely eat at El Coyote Cafe and Casa Vega Both of these historic restaurants are featured in the film. How does the food and margaritas measure up? We’ll give you our review.
Roni makes us a frozen Flame Thrower Strawberry Jalapeño Margarita.
1 oz Contreau
2 oz Tequila (Thanks for the bday drizzly order Ms. Chrissy!)
.75 oz Fresh Lime Juice (from T’s tree)
.5 cup whole Strawberries
.25 oz Simple Syrup (T made ours)
1 slice Jalapeño (1 slice Spicy, 2 slices Hot, 2 slices FIRE)
.5 cup crushed ice
Step 1
Add all ingredients to a high-powered blender & blend to combine.
Step 2
Pour into a margarita glass (we used vintage tumblers) rimmed with chili-lime seasoning. Sprinkle more chili-lime seasoning on top of cocktail if desired.
We doubled recipe and made 2 + servings.

Come with us on a historic tour of the Howe-Waffle House located in Santa Ana, California. “Still a cool Santa Ana landmark, just without the waffles.”- Tami M. Zyrsago.
Is it haunted? You can be the judge of that since that’s not what they’re selling, even if you caught that YOST Theater episode of Ghost Adventures you may be surprised to know it did not add up.

We are enamored with the Conjuring Universe movie franchise and the couple behind the movies. Being raised Catholic our faith crosses paths with delight in what these movies bring to life. With jump scares, superstition and Jesus winning.
Our conversation visits some fun facts about Ed and Lorraine Warren. But how exactly did Tamantha get a hold of some Vatican Holy Water? Oh and she just happened to attend the Annabell 2 movie premiere as a guest of Stephanie Sigman? Total name drop.
Full Moon Martini
1/2 cup Coconut Cream
1/2 cup Water
1 oz Vodka *we like King St.
Blackberries to garnish
Sugar to rim glass
Combine 1/2 cup water w/a 1/2 cup coconuts cream, mix well and pour into circular ice cube molds. Place into freezer for 5-6 hours. We popped our coconuts spheres into a coupe glass, poured our vodka right over the sphere and garnished with blackberries. This step is different from the recipe link below. We enjoyed watching our coconuts cream spheres melt down to create a lovely vodka slush.

Are you a 1980’s teenager like us? We were only 10 years old when the Nightmare franchise began and didn’t watch Wes Craven’s film till 3 years later. It probably was on HBO or something our Grandma Gay had subscribed to on cable.
Anyway, here we are discussing Freddy the monster icon that he is. 1980’s horror and where Roni met Robert Englund out of character. Oh, and are you familiar with Josh Gates Tonight? T* is a new fan girl of his. We feel like we’re connected in his pandemic show format. Coincidence?
Nightmare on Elm Street continues to trend with Vans release of the Horror collection which includes a X Nightmare on Elm Street Sk8 High shoe. We’re here for it.
Although the pandemic kept us from traveling to new haunts, we’ve made the most of what is available to us. This season we are hyper focused on POP CULTURE, LOCAL SO CAL SPOTS and showing you what we’re working on at home. We’ve had some fun and hope you will join us for all of SEASON 2.

Who really is the monster in this story? We visit and discuss the frantic tale of Frankenstein or the Modern Prometheus written by English author Mary Shelley in 1818.
We’re engrossed with revisiting Classic Monsters. After our Valentine’s Episode #20 titled My Darling Dracula aired a friend requested that we feature Frankenstein next. We were happy to oblige.
This horrific tale written by Mary Shelley (original author of Sci-Fi) that pits science and religion against each other. Her story full of anguish, questions our own morals and ethics in the name of those we love. Join us and explore the true nature of humanity and the relatability of this astonishing story.
No episode would be complete without a lovely refreshment while we talk about this garish monster and similar or inspired pop culture points of interest.
Roni found this delightful drink on Lauren Conrad’s blog which was posted in 2018.

It’s almost Valentine’s Day and we’re falling for Dracula. Say what? Dracula the book written in 1897 by Irish Author Bram Stoker is a Gothic Horror fave. Although, maybe not for all the reasons one might romanticize. Our current obsession is a TRUE LOVE story of FRIENDSHIP, LOYALTY and LOVE.

Our little sister's Birthday Twin, Edgar Allan Poe has always been a Macabre staple... Born January 19th, 1809. Yet, we never took the time to really get to know him. In this episode, we learn how the Baltimore Ravens got their name. How Edgar has been perceived as an alcoholic, gambler, womanizer. When actually... quite possibly was none of the above. A literary genius, that had enormous tragedy and struggles. A complex man who every Horror and Macabre fan admires. There are some fantastic travel destinations where EAP lived, from Richmond to Baltimore, to the Bronx.
Dry January continues, T and her berry puree's and Roni drinking her basic Milk. Haha...
