Bunny and Coco attended the local filmmakers show at Film Streams and talk to filmmaker Charles Fairbanks, who directed a documentary about Mexican wrestling. They also watch a production of The Bad Seed starring Stella Ehrhart, a third-grader who has made national news for dressing as a historical woman almost every single schoolday; she explains her fashion choices. The pair interview author David P. Murphy, who writes books about (and for!) zombies. And, finally, Bunny and Coco try to get to the bottom of the legend of a haunted staircase at Hummel Park.


Bunny and Coco visit The Black Angel, and imposing (and supposedly haunted) sculpture in a Council Bluffs cemetery. Also: vanity license plates, more scalps, and a group of Omaha artists put on The Sh*tshow, a collection of underground and subersive pieces that also works as a rather wild party. Finally, a puzzled bulldog.
