LIVE from Scaredycon! Women in Horror and the Real Life Stories Behind Them!

The first! Ever! Live! Episode!

Thank you so much to everyone who came out and made Scaredycon so much fun to be at, a million thanks to Taproom-120 for hosting, ScaredyCast and everyone else for putting this together. I had a great time being part of it and 100000% can't wait for the next one.

In this episode we talk about women from horror movies who's stories were inspired by real life events. First off is the movie The Orphan, and her real life counterpart Barbara Skrlova (have you guys heard about this one? A lot of people know it’s based on a real story but don’t know the story itself so I thought this would be an interesting one to do.)

Then, leaning into the more spooky things, we’ve got Veronica a 2017 supernatural horror film loosely based on the 1991 Vallecas case when Estafania Gutierrez Lazaro mysteriously died after using a ouija board.

Let's get spooky.

Anna Zwanziger | The Poisonous Housekeeper

Anna Zwanziger | The Poisonous Housekeeper

Our murderess of the week is Anna Zwanzinger of Bavaria, Germany. She would poison her employers with arsenic, and then help nurse them back to health so they held her in higher favor and were grateful of her. Not exactly the best way to win employee of the month.  Check out the podcast home page here: https://www.frumiousreads.com/a-murderess-affair

Yiya Murano: Argentina's Serial Killer

Yiya Murano: Argentina's Serial Killer

This week we are taking a trip to Argentina, where we’re learning about Maria de las Mercedes Bernardina Bolla Aponte de Murano, better known as Yiya Murano. Her case is one of the most famous in Argentina, and she was imprisoned for sixteen years for committing 3 different murders.  Sixteen years really doesn’t seem like much when it comes to killing 3 different people, if I’m being honest.  MERCH: frumiousreads.com/shop Website: frumiousreads.com/a-murderess-affair

Lindy Chamberlain; "My God, a dingo took my baby"

In this story, we’re talking about a woman who was convicted of murder, who’s story was as sensational as it can get, and who’s entire family has actually been pardoned by Australia’s Northern Territories court. Her name is Lindy Chamberlain, and she was accused and convicted of killing her 9 week old baby. She maintained her innocence the entire time, saying that there was a DINGO-a breed of wild dogs in Australia, who actually came and ate her baby. She was pardoned and released after serving three years in prison.  Connect with me! @frumiousreads Merch: frumiousreads.com/shop

Leonarda Cianciulli "The Soap Maker"

Our murderess of the day is Leonarda Cianciulli, a female serial killer who's love for her son was so strong that when he was drafted into the Italian Army during World War II, she decided to "save him" through human sacrifice. She also turned her victims into tea cakes and soap, and gave both to her neighbors. Her capability to commit these horrendous crimes was said to be predicted by two different fortune tellers as a young woman.

Ida B. Wells-Barnett: Civil Rights Activist

Ida B. Wells-Barnett: Civil Rights Activist

“The matter came up for judicial investigation, but as might have been expected, the white people concluded it was unnecessary to wait the result of the investigation—that it was preferable to hang the accused first and try him afterward.” ― Ida B. Wells Ida B. Wells was a civil rights activist, investigative journalist, author, women's suffragist, and overall incredible person who not as many people know about. She was labeled a "race agitator", and put under surveillance by the U.S government during WW1.  Black Lives Matter.
