Jeff shares the chilling legend of Okiku’s Well — one of the most well-known horror stories in Japanese history and the inspiration behind the movie The Ring.

Sam then tells a tragic true crime story from Chicago — a Halloween night murder that began when a man thought someone stole his candy.

Jeff wraps things up with another campfire story, and the duo discusses the “rules” of horror movies and what makes them so timelessly terrifying.
