Welcome to Episode 110: House of Wax (2005). Forget the football game! Put down that video camera, pick up your lip balm, and join us in Ambrose. It’s not on the map, but we were able to find it. I’m worried though. Mike went into Trudy’s House of Wax to explore, but that was hours ago. I can see a wax figure sitting at a table in front of a microphone. It looks a lot like my podcast partner but that can’t be him can it? I wonder where the real Mike went. The lights in town all just came on. Maybe I can find someone to help me. I’m the meantime, listen today, wherever podcasts can be heard.

For Episode 109 we discuss the important film IT FOLLOWS. This is a public service announcement from Mike and Matt to listeners everywhere: Using protection can greatly reduce the risk of pregnancy, but Abstinence will save your life!! 

Please enjoy but remember- keeping on those pants gives you your best chance. Brought to you by the fine folks here at the Alone in the Dark podcast…
