Frozen Corpse Party: Inside Colorado’s Strangest Festival, Frozen Dead Guy Days

Every spring, a small Colorado town throws a three‑day party for a real frozen corpse, and things get delightfully weird. In this episode of Weird Americana, uncover the unbelievable true story of Grandpa Bredo, the cryogenically preserved “dead guy” stored on ice in a Tuff Shed, and how his bizarre fate inspired coffin races, frozen‑turkey bowling, and a world‑famous festival of the absurd.

From immigration mishaps and local ordinances to tourism wars and an identity crisis when the event moved towns, this episode digs into how one frozen body became a symbol of American eccentricity, dark humor, and the lengths communities will go to stay on the map.
