Join host Benjamin Schneider and guest Danielle Aubuchon for a nostalgic Halloween special exploring two cult animated classics: the psychedelic 1978 short Witch's Night Out and Rankin/Bass's stop-motion gem Mad Monster Party (1967).

We dive into voice cast highlights (including Boris Karloff), stop-motion craftsmanship, and why these quirky specials continue to resonate with Halloween lovers. Along the way, we discuss seasonal traditions, favorite Halloween candies, and the cultural phenomenon of the pumpkin spice latte—because no Halloween episode is complete without acknowledging fall's most iconic beverage.

Coffee Pairing: Pumpkin Spice Latte - the ultimate autumn companion for spooky season viewing.

Perfect for animation fans, Halloween enthusiasts, and anyone who loves vintage holiday specials. Grab a costume, a bowl of candy, and a warm cup for this cozy, spooky watch-along.

Sip. Watch. Repeat.
