Welcome back, you gloriously chaotic creeps, to another episode of Haunted and Homicidal — the only show where haunted plantations, cryptid gossip, and mild emotional damage come together over the promise of pizza for dinner.

This week, we’re heading deep into the swampy, ghost-infested heart of Louisiana to uncover The Myrtles Plantation, one of America’s most haunted homes — complete with mysterious murders, restless spirits, and way too many portraits that stare directly into your soul. Along the way, we detour (obviously) into Rougarou territory, because if there’s a half-wolf swamp cryptid roaming around, we’re absolutely going to talk about it.

But just when you think you’ve adjusted to the spooky vibes — BAM — we derail into the chaotic dumpster fire that was the MoMo Challenge, aka the internet’s “let’s terrify parents for clicks” era. Somehow, this spirals into Lauren’s entirely justified (and slightly unhinged) fear of Nutcrackers (“No one’s ever been bitten and turned into one, but you just KNOW they could”), and her deep hatred of mascots, who are basically just Nutcrackers with body odor and fur.

Meanwhile, Mischa makes her vocal debut — not ASMR this time, just dramatic sound effects from the background void — and Modi (Asmodeus) lives up to his demonic name by stealing bread, chicken, and possibly a soul or two.

Mid-episode, Lauren breaks into a solo baby crab dance party (don’t ask, just accept it), and we also go off with a heartfelt discussion about Buc-ee’s brisket being mid, the Key Lime Tart being exactly what it says it is, but the pickled green beans being elite. Also, Lauren confesses to her New Orleans party days where she may or may not have been found hugging a wall. (Relatable content, honestly.)

So grab a slice, light a candle, and prepare your spirit for chaos — because this episode is equal parts haunted history, cryptid chaos, and trauma from holiday decor.
