Hmmm... As cool an idea as potential resurrection of the dead may be, I can't help but hypothesize that money and resources would be better spent on helping those who are... alive? Not opposing the festival at all; I think that is very cool and likely helps support the town; but trying to bring a person back from the dead is just a waste of money and time. Each of us gets just one life.
"Without any additional insights, I knew I had to make the trip there and investigate [Frozen Dead Guy Days]". Lol I was thinking the same thing!

Ok, sorry but I have to say something about the Warrens ... if Ed was in the living room, why did he make his wife answer the door in a towel??
9:03 So was the DeFeo family originally from Brookland or from Brooklyn? (I've never heard of a Brookland, NY)
astonishing coverage of the true story behind the Amityville horror. remarkable job!!
3:18 I hope you're not comparing people who are "cancelled" (called out) for making homophobic, woman-hating or trans-hating comments with people who were actually tortured and/or brutally executed for being suspected of having "supernatural" powers.
So... Mr. Genius decided, after committing mass murder, to try to kill himself by swallowing the same kind of acid that's produced inside the stomach. Dude, maybe you should have done that first.
