Stephen Vera, Born on June 3, 1992.
If you're walking through a gas station or the field of devoured souls 😛 you might run into a creature pondering whether to get Hot Cheetos to go with his Coca-Cola. Which also happens to be his favorite soda. He has a massive sugar tooth and an odd obsession with vampire fangs and witches being brought up in any subject.
Steph grew up surrounded by the strange and unusual, whether by personal choice or chance, that's up for debate. Stephen was always that weird, silly person. Stephen is an all-things paranormal lover from reading herbs and their magical properties at 11 and tarot to Practicing witchcraft. Growing up in a Mexican household and being the surprise baby that was closer to death as a newborn and the supernatural as a sick child and angry teen was a no-brainer.
Stephen grew up listening to his dad’s tales of entities and beings that lurked around simple people and family. Stephen also had paranormal experiences that made him question what was out there. He always saw shadows moving and heard voices and shouts that woke him in a quiet house.
Stephen has adopted two fur babies Jupiter or “Poops” and Winter or “Milk Loaf.” Aside from the podcast, Steph has a YouTube channel where he discusses his paranormal experiences and other stuff including his makeup techniques and silly tales. He loves makeup and skincare and is an SFX makeup enthusiast and face-painting lover. He loves obsessing over the same five songs and wholeheartedly believes “AHS Coven” was the best season.

Christina Barnes was born on August 31, 1992.
If she's not binging terrible shows or perusing Wal-Mart or Targee, she’s usually tending to her many animals or spending time with her friends. Christina loves the plant section and spilling the tea. If she could she would start a reality show, alas a podcast would have to do. Christina had a significantly rougher childhood than most, the pressure in which she molded herself in a more positive light and she found an alternate perspective in viewing life and those around her. She grew up passionately caring for stray cats and dogs which her grandparents were not a fan of.
She has a big love for creative writing. Going as far as writing her own Nightmare Street Series at 14- 15 years old. She obsessed over R.L. Stein. Going as far as creating a fan fiction series inspired by His “Fear Street” series. Her fascination for true crime stems from her childhood watching “Tales from the Crypt” and cowboy films "The A-Team” “The Hulk” and “Bonanza” in which the good guys tracked down the bad guys. In her teen years she loved “Bones”, “Criminal Minds”, “CSI“, “NCIS”, “SWAT”, “Dollhouse”, “Dark Angel”, “ALIAS”, “Veronica Mars”, “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”, “Charmed”, “Angel”, “Supernatural” Season 1 was the best, and “True Blood”- just to name a few and many many more.
Christina has 2 fur babies Nicole, her old red heeler mix, and Buttercup, or “Bun Bun” her bunny, and 2 feather babies Parakeets, Pam, and her transgender Jim AKA “Jane”. Christina is currently in school for business. She loves Singing and Writing. Christina also likes to paint and find a good deal on the Facebook marketplace. She loves an oatmeal cream pie or a nutty buddy. Christina Wholeheartedly Believes Twilight is a Parody of Vampire teen romance. Lastly, “SOOKIE!” and if you don't get that we can’t be friends.
