Welcome to episode 60 of Hillbilly Horror Stories. This is Jerry and I'm joined by my lovely wife Tracey.

Hey guys, how are you?

Well, we've got a surprise for you. We're actually on vacation this week and we're actually as we speak, we're at scare fest.

And we're not as we speak because this is an advance. But when you're hearing this, we're actually going to be just getting back from scare fest.

And we didn't really have an opportunity to do a full show like we normally would.

So I went to our fantastic Patreon listeners and I said, hey, we're going to be out of town and we're got scare fest.

But we don't want to not have a show out that week. We've went almost roughly 60 weeks, obviously, without missing a show and we don't want to miss this week.

And as you know, our Patreon subscribers who actually pay anywhere from $1 to $10 a month, they get bonus episodes.

And I asked those guys, I said, look, I know you pay for this. But would you guys be okay if we took one of these bonus episodes that is done just like a regular show and put it up that week that we're out.

That way it fixes two problems. First of all, you got to get a show instead of us and we get a break. So not that we need a break, but we do need a break.

So, but it gives us a much needed week off. But at the same time, we don't miss a show. So you're going to get to hear what the Patreon listeners get to listen to.

And it's also going to be good for you guys to see that because a lot of shows when they do Patreon, they'll release a couple of bonus episodes to everybody so you can see what you're going to get.

And we didn't do that. So you guys, if you're not a Patreon, you really don't know what these bonus shows are like. So this is going to give you a taste of what the bonus show is.

What we're going to be talking about tonight is a two-parter. It's going to be on the son of Sam. And most people will tell you this may be our best show that we did on Patreon. And it's one of the best shows that we've ever done.

So I think you're going to enjoy it. But we do son of Sam and then we go into the beast of break road. So you get a little bit of paranormal, a little bit of true crime.

These episodes are always an hour or so. But I also want to make sure that our Patreon listeners didn't get shafted this week and the only episodes up when they've already heard.
