The Box Of Oddities Live Fall Tour Starts Sept. 10 In Seattle and Ends Halloween Night In Chicago! Learn More Here!

In this delightfully morbid Box of Oddities episode, we literally put the “fun” back in funerals. From coffin-themed dance-offs to wakes that feel more like weddings, discover real-life funerals where joy took center stage over sorrow—because nothing says “rest in peace” quite like a conga line. Then, we plunge into the darkly fascinating tale of King Charles II of Spain, a man so cursed by royal inbreeding they called him El Hechizado—“The Bewitched.” From his bizarre ailments to the superstitions that shaped his doomed reign, it’s history with a side of “what on earth just happened?” Packed with bizarre history, morbid curiosity, and irreverent humor, this episode proves that the afterlife—and life itself—are far stranger than fiction.
