Episode 222: Lady Grim & Deadly Victorian Fashion Trends Part II

This week on Another F*cking Horror Podcast, Monique and Amy kick spooky season into high gear with a haunted Nova Scotia farm, a mysterious woman who looks suspiciously like the Grim Reaper and enough arsenic soaked Victorian fashion to make you question how anyone survived the 1800s.

First, Amy tells the story of Sherry, who moves into her husband David’s childhood farmhouse and quickly realizes they aren’t alone. Her daughter wakes up claiming someone is poking her, Sherry sees a dark figure moving through the house and eventually both mother and daughter witness a hooded woman staring directly at David. Even after the family tears down the farmhouse and builds a new home, the activity continues, culminating in David’s sudden and unexplained death.

Then Monique returns with Part Two of her deadly Victorian fashion series, diving into the horrifying popularity of arsenic based green dyes. From poisonous dresses and toxic socks to artificial flowers, candy and wallpaper, the Victorians apparently decided that looking fashionable was worth a little arsenic poisoning. Monique also explores the devastating consequences for factory workers like Matilda Scheurer and the widespread use of toxic pigments in Victorian homes.

So, yes. This one has haunted children, a possible Grim Reaper, an unexplained death, poisonous fashion, arsenic wallpaper and another important reminder that the Victorians were absolutely fucking wild.
