They Don't Stay Dead
Episode 56: Port Arthur
Hey Paranornomies, Britt's doing a takeover of this weeks ep while Alexa sits back on her birthday.
This whole ep will be about Port Arthur, its rich history, the spooky ghosts that linger behind, and the horrible tragedy that happened in 1996. It gets heavy as we recount the shooting, though we feel it's important to remember this pivotal moment in our history.

Saw X
Cloverfield Trilogy
