About Dark Arts and Crafts Podcast: Because boredom is murder
Do you like murder, mystery, the supernatural, magic, and all the fascinating in between?
Of course you do — now, do you also like to slice with scissors, burn with soldering irons, poke, tear, scratch, patch, claw and create sweet, sweet horrific chaos?
I'm talking about arts and crafts! Wait, what did you think I meant?
Dark Arts & Crafts pairs true crime, haunted history, and ghost stories with hands-on macabre craft projects. Hosts Krys, Bex... and Nova dig up the dark tale, then make something weird with their hands, or other body parts... From The Bone Curio Collective.
Can a plant be a predator? Probably not — but on Dark Arts & Crafts, Bex and Krys dig into cryptid flora whose bark might just be worse than their underbite. 🌿 Shout-out to Jennifer Liceaga — follow @thecovenofcuteness on Threads for her adorable baby goat busts that inspired Krys’s latest test piece! 🐐✨

Nine hikers vanished in the Ural Mountains under circumstances so strange they’ve baffled investigators for decades. What tore through their tent that freezing night in 1959 — nature, madness, or something else entirely?
A chilling bite-sized look into one of the coldest mysteries ever recorded.

S02E02 Pirate Pompeii
Originally recorded in April 2023 Krys and Bex officially acknowledged this is an epically long wait between episode one and episode two of season 2. They also acknowledge the fact that these are the only two episodes that they recorded out of a planned eight because they suck (with an episode of season 3 already in the can ready for your ear-balls) Don’t let that distract you from the fact that this episode is fantastic and about pirates. PIRATES.

S02E01: Ladies and Gentlemen, Poison Girls!
Ola Podlings, welcome to season 2! Today Krys and Bex tackle the broad topic of poison. Do we eventually land somewhere coherent? Sure…but we also were slightly manic after 4 failed recording attempts. It’s hard to be enthusiastic the 5th take but good old caffeine sure helps. So come sit, learn about Russia’s love of poison and an 18TH Century woman’s lack of it for her husbands.

Episode 06: My AnnaNUNda don't want Nuns unless they Outlaw Nuns, hun
Ola Podlings! Welcome to summer where the least amount of darkness is available. So, on a 'lighter' note Krys and Bex take a look at a wholesome story centered around faith, love, and redemption. Specifically, lack of faith in the church, lesbian love, and making off like bandits to live in castles and drive a fleet of Mercedes. That's wholesome, right?

f**k glitter
Ola Podlings, let's all join together and hate on glitter. This episode is brought to you by glitter, all the glitter. Bex and Krys discuss Cinderella a tale of flour sacks and talking birds with a splash of blood in a shoe and a goldfish-brained prince who has no idea who he is in love with. This is the story from the age-old adage "if the shoe fits” except maybe you don't want this particular shoe?

Tangent! Episode 4.5: Let's go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for this all to blow over.
Ola Podlings! Krys and Bex are NOT headed to the Winchester Pub for a pint, sorry! Today they go on a tangent to discuss a quaint little place that no one has ever heard of before ever, nope, not ever. Not even sure why this place is worth discussing, really! I mean, it's very standard for a house to have 6 kitchens and 2 basements isn't it?

Episode 3.5: If you got it, Haunt it.
Ola Podlings, today's Bonus Episode has Krys and Bex discussing a haunting at a local-ish theatre. Is it haunted because of an upheaved burial ground? Maybe, it's because the ghost is so exasperated with being called by the wrong name? Or maybe it's something to do with pinky knuckles and 1950s gelatine molds? We don't know, and neither do they but sit down and enjoy the speculation!
