The Devil’s Ledger — Week of December 15 Welcome back—and happy holidays. It’s that special time of year filled with forced cheer, soft lighting, and quietly wondering whether leftovers have crossed from festive into forensic. Whether you’re decking halls, dodging relatives, or just surviving December, we’re glad you’re here. This week’s Ledger is packed with folklore, fanaticism, lost idealism, and a reminder that some remakes exist solely to make us feel ancient. 🔥 The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week In Icelandic folklore, a ritual known as nábrók—or necropants—promised endless wealth at an unimaginable cost. Crafted from the skin of a dead man and worn directly against the flesh, the necropants blurred the boundary between survival and damnation. It’s a story where greed literally wears the dead, and prosperity requires intimacy with decay. Fair warning: once you hear it, you won’t forget it. 🩸 This Week on The Devil Within We begin a brand-new two-part series, Blood on the Blue Grass, examining the disturbing case of Rod Ferrell, the so-called Kentucky Vampire. This is not a gothic fantasy—it’s a chilling exploration of teenage alienation, unchecked belief, and how confidence and charisma can become lethal forces when pointed in the wrong direction. 🕯️ On The Ides of April We conclude our series on the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy with Part Two of The Death of the New America. From the Ambassador Hotel pantry to the gunshots that silenced a movement, this episode explores not just how Bobby Kennedy died—but what died with him. A nation’s momentum. A generation’s hope. A future that never arrived. 🧠 Criminal Mischief Life mirrors fiction on this week's CM...we delve into the horrifying details of a real life Fatal Attraction and the deveststingly cruel consequences of obsession, jealousy and rage... 🗝️ Taboo Treasures Content TBD. Even the devil needs a week to sharpen his pitchfork. 🎬 This Week in Horror It’s officially “I’m super old” week with a remake of The Hand That Rocks the Cradle—a psychological thriller I remember being filmed right here in Los Angeles what feels like a century ago. A nanny who never should’ve been let into the house, and proof that the scariest monsters often arrive smiling. As we close out the episode, warm Hanukkah wishes to those celebrating, and holiday greetings to everyone navigating this strange, sparkly, emotionally complicated season. Lock your doors. Trust cautiously. If something feels off—you’re probably right. Sleep well. Or don’t. We’ll see you next week. 🎄🕯️👁️ 💼 SPONSORS 🧥 QUINCE Luxury essentials at affordable prices.
