My name is J.W. Ocker. For more than a decade, I have sought out odd sites and artifacts. I believe that within a tank or two of gas of any point in the country are oddities worth trekking to on a Saturday afternoon. And I have the stories as proof.

Episode 37: Chasing Zombies in Romero-Land and Savini-ville
In this episode, we travel to Pittsburgh to see horror movie sites connected to George Romero and Tom Savini, while waxing (and waning) nostalgic on how much has changed at both the sites and in my own life since my original 2006 visit to the place back in the first days of OTIS.
