Just in time for Halloween 2019, The Biscuit is highlighting our city’s latest trivia craze, “Hanchett or Hatchet.” This delightfully giddy (and gory) local game show features famed Charlotte historian, Tom Hanchett, testing the historical knowledge of his fellow citizens — with an unfortunate outcome for anyone who gets their Charlotte history wrong. Hey, Tom takes his Queen City history very seriously. We’ll give this episode a PG-13 rating for mild suggested carnage and images of a respected historian entering a blood-thirsty trance.
