Inside the Hoosac Tunnel aka the 'Bloody Pit.' A look back at the connection between MTV and WWE in the 1980s. The funniest knock-off brand products.
Spooky season kicks off here with Episode 164.
The Hoosac Tunnel in Western Massachusetts is a marvel of 19th-century engineering. It is also one of the most haunted places in the entire state. We take a look at the history of this railway as well as why it is ominously referred to as the 'Bloody Pit.'
Kids of the 1980s very likely watched either MTV, the WWF, or both. We go way Back In the Day to look at the popular and highly profitable Rock 'n' Wrestling connection between the two entertainment behemoths as they were on their way up in the mid-1980s.
Store brand products and knock-off brands can be a good deal. Some of these might be good deals but this week's Top 5 looks at the funniest knock-off products ever.
A fitting This Week In History and Time Capsule for Spooky Season looks at the debut of the monumental horror film Night of the Living Dead.
