What were some of the most infamous New England mental asylums? What was Halloween safety like in 1977? What about horror movies made into video games?
Scares come in all shapes and sizes on Episode 166 of the podcast.
Spooky Season doesn't get more terrifying than the reality of mental hospitals in the 19th and 20th centuries. We look at a handful of the most notorious asylums from New England. Some of these are long gone, some have decaying remains you can visit.
Trick or Treating in the 2020s is far different than it was in the 1970s. This becomes apparent as we go way Back In the Day and review a Halloween safety short film from 1977. What surprised you most about this film?
Just because a horror movie is a classic does not necessarily mean it will translate well to the video game realm. This new Top 5 looks at some scary bad, and a few scary good, video games developed from classic horror movies.
The new This Week In History and Time Capsule are far less spooky as we look back at the publication of the children's book classic Winnie the Pooh.
