Joel and I debate whether Sleepwalkers, the 1992 horror film written by Stephen King, is a good movie or a bad movie. This also ushers in a month of Stephen King movie discussion. 

I do a late-night episode of Strange World of Songling. I talk about some of my ideas for making the setting work as an afterlife following player character deaths.

I talk about the story "Candidate for the Post of City God" from Strange Tales from the Liaozhai Studio. This is part of a series of podcasts where I will build a setting for our game Strange Tales of Songling. This first podcast is more about the foundational premise of the setting. Each episode will cover one, maybe two, stories and use that as inspiration. 

We talk about Demonic Toys, something between Child's Play and Rosemary's Baby.

We talk about The Exorcist III, a blend of crime thriller and the supernatural. 

We mention this re-review from Red Letter Media during the episode. 

We talk about an absolute classic: Rosemary's Baby. In this episode we furiously debate whether the events are real or just going on in Rosemary's mind. 

We talk about chapters nine and ten of the Ravenloft Realm of Terror Boxed set: Spells in Ravenloft and Magic Items in Ravenloft. 

We kick off a month of demons and the devil with Night of the Demons. 

The mists of sleep descend on Brendan and threaten to spirit him to the Nightmare Lands as we talk about chapters dealing with fear and horror checks, curses, Vistani and more.
