Jay Wilburn is the two-time winner of KillerCon's Annual Grossout Contest.

Andrew Hilbert and I once tried launching a podcast called THE TACO SUMMIT back in 2018, which would involve us eating tacos with special guests around Austin, TX and talking about writing. We managed to record exactly one episode before throwing in the towel (with special guest Trey Hudson!). Since I'm yearning to eat tacos with my pals again, I thought it would be refreshing to upload our failed pilot here on the GHOULISH feed. So, go make some tacos and listen to us talk about cults, cockroaches, writing, and shady publishers who have been convicted of pedophilia.

Miguel Villa is the most dedicated Halloween fan I've ever met, and in tonight's massively long episode of GHOULISH, we talked through the entire franchise, covering topics like the multiple timelines that exist for the movies, the fact that Michael Myers only eats dogs, and whether or not John Carpenter would be good at sex (the answer is yes). Also, at the very end, I read some extremely graphic Michael Myers internet erotica, so...uh, you're welcome?
