The Dead Mother

What happens when a dead mother refuses to stop parenting?

In this dark and twisted Russian fairy tale, Tales of Bedlam takes you through the haunting legend of “The Dead Mother”—a tale of love, loss, and… undead lactation? With their signature blend of dry wit and ridiculous banter, Dustin and Micah unpack the bizarre story of a baby visited nightly by its buried mother, mysterious midnight feedings, and the ultimate tragic twist.

Prepare for zombie jokes, Labyrinth references, questions nobody should ask about undead anatomy, and the kind of story that makes you reconsider the meaning of “bedtime tale.” A must-listen for fans of creepy folklore, weird parenting legends, and fairy tales with an adult sense of humor.

What did you think of this eerie tale? Could zombie milk really curdle a baby to death? 

Drop your thoughts, jokes, or wild theories in the comments below—especially if you’ve got a better plan for undead childcare. We want to hear from you!
