Hear me and my girlfriend Dani October talk about our experience there, as well as at the crime scene next door, where Lizzie's great aunt drowned two of her children. It's not a B&B, though.

Episode 37: Chasing Zombies in Romero-Land and Savini-ville
In this episode, we travel to Pittsburgh to see horror movie sites connected to George Romero and Tom Savini, while waxing (and waning) nostalgic on how much has changed at both the sites and in my own life since my original 2006 visit to the place back in the first days of OTIS.
