Welcome back to our Half-Assed Halloween party, let me tell you a story. This week your treat is Mothers and monsters in a beautiful allegorical fantasy. Headcheese author, Jess Hagemann pays us a virtual visit and treats us to an exclusive premiere of her short story “The Purple”.  This one ran me straight through to the core, extremely my jam. So excited to share it with my best fiends.

Yes, all the biggest names in SoCal haunts are dark this year, but that doesn't mean there are NO haunts happening. A few companies have taken on the experiment of producing haunts in this brave new world. Drive-ins, drive throughs and even a couple of walk throughs on this list. Ranging from horror, to food-centric and family-friendly. If you're in SoCal and looking to satiate your empty haunt docket for 2020, you've come to the right place. In this quickie, we explore... Haunting In The Time of COVID.

In this episode, it's all about the upcoming equinox! The Autumnal Equinox kicks Fall (and Halloween preparations) into high gear. What happens on the Autumnal  Equinox? What is the difference between equinox and solstice? What does the equinox mean spiritually? Discussing all that as well as different belief systems and the Equinox from ancient mythology to modern day observances akin to a witchy Thanksgiving

Flesh eaters and mermaids and quintessential Autumnal magic, a drugged out alien trip, literal shit storms and the resilience of the human spirit. Ah yes, it must be the Best of Fest... Fantasia Fest 2020 wrap-up. Huge shoutout to the entire Fantasia team for putting on a wonderful seamless festival delivered purely digitally. Thank you for having me. Cheers!
