Damsels of Death Ep. 2 - Family Die-namics

Family Expectations can truly be kooky, spooky, and altogether ooky, and even the most fantastical families have their issues. Join us for Episode 2 of Season 2, as we use The Addams Family and Hotel Transylvania to explore family dynamics. Learn about the history of vampires, goth culture and 1960’s television, while answering the question, “What is normal, anyway?” Wednesday, Morticia and Mavis are this week’s Damsels of Death, and they are dying for you to join us.
