EP 225 - Halloween Special: The Curse of the Mummy

The Poisoners' Cabinet

Ep 225 is loose on Halloween night! And we are diving into the terrifying legend of the mummy, and the so-called curse of the Pharaohs...

Did opening King Tut's tomb unleash horrors on the world? Did a mummy sink the Titanic? And how do you like your mummy served?

The secret ingredient is...a Pharaoh!

Enjoy and HAPPY HALLOWEEN
