Happy Halloween, All Hallow’s Eve and (almost) All Saint’s Day! This week, you--our listeners--get a double length episode! The gals are joined by their first guest contributor and close friend Alli (she/her and they/them--follow on TikTok!). The topics of discussion stay in the lanes of all things spooky, scary, paranormal, witchy and gory. Everyone, once again, talks about how they weren’t allowed to read Harry Potter as children, as well as what other forms of media they were and were not allowed to consume (lest they become consumed by demons and whatnot). At the end of the day, all three hosts agree ghosts and spirits have GOT to be real and end the episode with both a scary and a heartwarming ghost story.

Alli recommends researching Samhain (which we all learned was pronounced saa-wn AFTER recording), All Saint’s Day/All Hallow’s Day, the solemnity of all saints and tells everyone to “Go souling.” Also on the recommendation block, 2 episodes of a horror podcast called The Wrong Station (episodes 449 and 424), along with The Scaredy Cat’s Horror Show. As for books, Alli recommends Ted Dekker, who writes Christian horror. “Skin” is supposedly horrific and “The Bone Collector’s Daughter” is less horrific.
Amanda recommends And That’s Why We Drink for paranormal and true crime junkies (and for anyone who needs new friends--listening to Em and Christine chat feels like being their best friend), Spooked from the makers of Snap Judgement, and the Welcome to Nightvale books. Christina recommends Salem’s Lot, Misery, and Carrie by Stephen King as well as Last Podcast on the Left (with the disclaimer/warning that early episodes of LPOTL lean toward the problematic end of the racist ← → antiracist spectrum).
