100: Crazy Uncle Sam (Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers w/ Joe La Scola from Movie Dumpster)

Kids, we have got a DOOZY of an episode for you this week! To celebrate our 100th episode, we decided to call one of our very best friends, and a huge friend of the pod... the one and only multi-talented director, musician, producer, and co-host of the amazing podcast "Movie Dumpster", Joe LaScola! He's joining us to discuss one of the most polarizing movies in the Halloween franchise, Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers. We discuss everything from how much gas it took to fill a buick in 1988 to Dr. Loomis' corkscrew into (and out of?) dementia. This is a particularly joyful episode, so happy 100 episodes! Here's one for the books.

99: I‘m Cashing in My Dress Day (Halloween Costumes)

Hey kids! We're excited to be back and preparing for the spookiest night of the year. Are you going to be a pony, or an EVIL pony??? A baby, or... an EVIL baby!? We've got some advice on how to have the most successful costume at any spooky soirée this year. Take note, and enjoy!

98: THE TINY CLUSTERS OF TUMORS (Malignant)

What do the Grand High Wizard, Professor Quirrell, Muldoon from Jurassic Park, every soap opera ever made, and munchkins all have in common? The answer is THIS WEEK'S EPISODE. We start with a fairly candid conversation about our experience with the anniversary of September 11th, but quickly segue into the mind-f***ing masterpiece that is James Wan's newest film, "Malignant".

**PLEASE NOTE**- This episode contains spoilers of the movie, including key moments, plot points, and story elements. Please watch the movie before listening! You've been warned.

97: There is An Intruder in My Face (Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark)

Happy Halloween, ghouls! It is officially September, and we are SO excited to be ringing in the Halloween season by easing on down the road toward All Hallows' Eve with a trip to a very seasonal, and very spooky, new Halloween favorite... Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark! We cover everything from Alvin Schwartz and Stephen Gammell's bone-chilling books to Guillermo Del Toro and Andre Ovredal's frightening film. We illustrate just why these stories have stuck with us from our childhood and why we can't get enough of them as adults. Stay spoopy!

96: I Think I'm Gonna Get Stung By a Bee... (Candyman 2021)

Hello kids! We're SO excited to be reviewing one of our favorite new movies as part of the 13 weeks of Halloween... Candyman 2021! We get into it about everything from murders to mythology, from gentrification to police violence in the U.S. **Please be aware before listening**- We are discussing pivotal plot points, moments, spoilers, and appearances in the new film Candyman (2021). If you have not seen the movie yet, you may want to hold off listening to avoid spoilers!!! You've been warned.

Also, to all of our beloved listeners of color- the discussion does address, in relation to the film, Black Lives Matter and current events related to the movement (with respect, and without any graphic content) which some listeners may find upsetting or triggering. Listener discretion is advised.

95: Girl, You're Dead (The Headless Horseman)

We are sashaying right on through the 13 weeks of Halloween with a conversation about one of Pissi's favorite horror legends- The Headless Horseman. We discuss everything from classic literature to Irish folklore, from headless ghosts to silent films. This prolific character scares us out of our minds and has us losing our heads, and we're gonna get down to the nitty gritty to tell you why!

94: GOD BLESS HER (The Craft with Curly Velasquez)

Kids, we've got an EXTRA special treat for you today! We invited friend of the pod, fashion icon, actor, producer, and amazing personality Curly Velasquez to join us for a very witchy conversation. Curly chimed in to discuss one of our very favorite movies, The Craft, and how spiritualism and witchcraft made us into the queirdos we are today.

93: Friday the 13th Part 3
