Froody and the Blowfish
Happy Friday the 13th to all of our listeners! Braydon and Belinda come back to the now regular tradition of telling spooky urban legend tales on Friday the 13th episodes!
Belinda discusses the true inspiration behind the horror character Freddy Krueger, and the franchise of the Nightmare on Elm Street. Funnily enough, the terrifying villain was inspired by a very similar real world event!
Braydon goes on to discuss Polybius, the arcade machine that debuted in 1981 in two locations in Portland, Oregon. The machine drew crowds of kids to its oddly addictive gameplay, but the players began exhibiting odd health symptoms. The game was also regularly visited by two "men in black" types that collected data of the people in the high scores. This lead onlookers to believe the game to be a CIA experiment!
