Bloody Mary: 'Panic Monday' Off-Season Talk Show

This is our off season talk show, ‘Just Another Panic Monday.’ If you are new to American Hysteria, head to the main episodes of season one or two to get a feel for our show, and then catch up with us here! The urban legend Bloody Mary has long acted as a rite of passage for slumber partiers all over the United States and beyond. Perhaps you once heard stories from your peers of this terrifying phantom's appearance in dimly lit mirrors, or even saw something sinister yourself, candle in hand. Pop culture often writes-off sleepovers as frivolous mush, but today Miranda and I are diving deep into the folklore of Bloody Mary, Light as a Feather Stiff as a Board, M.A.S.H., the concentration game, and rec room séances to show that these secret rites are vital to the process of growing up. We’ll explain some of the sociology and psychology, as well as the possible biology, behind these bizarre rituals that allow the young to test the boundaries of reality and themselves, acting as portal through which they can view their possible futures, both the bleak and the beautiful.  Just Another Panic Monday is co-hosted by Chelsey Weber-Smith and Miranda Zickler Produced and edited by Clear Commo Studios
