Welcome to the 2025 Super Mystery Bros Halloween MONSTER MASH.

In 1995, something sinister stalked the hills of Puerto Rico, leaving hundreds of animals dead in its wake, most of them completely drained of blood. Rumors swirled of a cryptid creature with glowing red eyes, dinosaur-like skin, and straw-like fangs with the power to suck a goat dry like it's a Capri Sun.

In the small town of Canóvanas, a Vietnam War veteran mayor rallied an angry mob of residents to hunt the beast, with surprising results. Was it an alien? A government experiment gone wrong? Or just mass hysteria fueled by a bad 1990s B-movie?

Join Ivan and Nate for a Halloween deep dive into the legend of El Chupacabra, the half-reptile, half-kangaroo, half-alien creature that turned heaven on Earth into a living hell. Featuring eyewitness testimony, wild theories, and Ivan’s glorious return after a year-long hiatus.

Most important of all, hear the terrifying true story of Ivan’s neighbor’s encounter with the Chupacabra. You will be SHOCKED and HORRIFIED by what you hear.

If this episode isn’t on your bucket list... it should be.

Topics Include:

• ​ The 1995 Canóvanas livestock killings
• ​ Mayor José “Chemo” Soto’s legendary Chupacabra safari
• ​ Eyewitness accounts from Misael Negron and Madelyne Tolentino
• ​ Alien, mutant, and O.J. Simpson theories

In 1946, the quiet Texas-Arkansas border town of Texarkana was rocked by a wave of brutal attacks that left five people dead and an entire community gripped by fear as a faceless predator the press dubbed "The Phantom Killer" was on the loose. Young couples on lovers’ lanes were brutally ambushed, the town descended into panic, and vigilantes armed themselves as if war was coming again.

Join Kyle and Nate as they dive into the infamous Texarkana Moonlight Murders; unpacking the crimes, the chaos, and the suspects. Along the way, they’ll break down what really happened to Jimmy Hollis and Mary Jeanne Larey, the bizarre discovery of Betty Jo Booker’s missing saxophone, and the still-unsolved killing of Virgil Starks.

Was this the work of a single serial killer? A serial killer & a copycat? Or something even stranger? Grab your cinnamon toast crunch box tops and join us as we try to solve this sumbitch once and for all.

Most people know the year 1973 for Lynyrd Skynyrd or Pink Floyd, but down in Pascagoula, MS, a little town on the shores of the gulf formerly known as the Gulf of Mexico, something far stranger than good music was happening.

On October 11 of that year, two men Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker Jr. were just enjoying a nice evening of fishing down by the river, until suddenly… alien robots with crab claws came out of nowhere and ruined it.

What followed were decades of doubt, ridicule, personal struggles, and redemption.

But did the two men really get abducted by aliens, did they hoax their story, or something else entirely?

Join Kyle and Nate on this surprisingly deep and philosophical episode of Super Mystery Bros.
