Blood, Black Magic & Death Row: The Brutal Case of Mona Fandey
Description
This week on Tape Spaghetti, Scott and Blake head to Malaysia for perhaps the darkest story in Southeast Asian pop history: the twisted tale of Mona Fandey.
Once an aspiring starlet, Fandey’s talent didn’t take her very far – but her transformation into a self-proclaimed shaman gave her access to some of the most powerful figures in Malaysian politics.
Her promise to deliver power and success through magic led to a windfall of cash, notoriety, and ultimately, a gruesome murder that shocked the entire country.
Through it all, Mona smiled for the cameras and claimed she would never die… even as she was being led to the gallows.
This one’s got everything: music, mysticism, money, and murder, all wrapped up in a story that’s too strange to be fiction.
