IN THIS EPISODE: A rare and haunting treasure: the long-out-of-print novelization of John Carpenter's 1978 horror classic *Halloween*, written by Curtis Richards. True to the original film but filled with deeper, darker layers, this book explores a chilling supernatural origin for Michael Myers, weaving ancient Druid lore and the eerie roots of Halloween itself into the fabric of his story. With scenes even more provocative than the film, I’ll be sharing a carefully edited version that captures the terror and suspense of this horror gem—without pushing the limits of decency.
