Never the Twins Shall Meet

50 - Cautionary Tales About Evil Basements

Listen Later

It may be winter holiday season, but we are still firmly in Halloween mode! Coming a mere month and a half late, it’s our spooky season round-up of all the bloody, bone-chilling, or unnerving books and movies we immersed ourselves in for the month of October. Topics of discussion include how to put a fresh spin on classic horror tropes, the overwhelming number of Stephen King adaptations out this year, and, of course, the perils of evil basements.
