The Apothecary Diaries has Maomao listen to stories of asbestos and then schemes about it in Ep. 50 "The Fire-Rat Cloak". Students of history will even be able to anticipate that plot just from looking at the title. However, you don't need to be a student of history to know that asbestos is highly
The V/H/S series has been a beacon of spookiness and terror in the month of October since its move to Shudder. With this ninth installment in the series, they're focusing on music and sound as the theme. Between the six directors on board (Ernest Dickerson, RZA, Flying Lotus, Tobias Forge, David
