    This episode is all about Studio 54, the New York disco that was just as famous for being extremely selective about who they let in as it was for all the shenanigans that went on inside.

  • The Donner Party
    Oct 17 2024

    I would love to hear from you - click here to send Door Key a written message!

    The third episode of the Spooktacuar is about The Donner Party! This was a group of American pioneers who left for California in 1846. They took a shortcut known as the Hastings Cutoff, which turned out to be much longer and more treacherous than expected. The group would then get delayed by harsh weather and become trapped by snow in the Sierra Nevada mountains during the winter. As their supplies dwindled, they were forced to make desperate choices to survive, including cannibalism. Only a fraction of the group would survive.

    This first episode of 2024’s Spooktacular explores the history of Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in the Americas, established in 1607. The settlers faced a series of catastrophic challenges: a severe drought, poor relations with the indigenous tribes of the surrounding area, and not enough food. These challenges would lead to a year infamously known as ‘The Starving Time’. This episode gets into some real historical horror!
