Being that it's almost December, it's time to talk about that guy in the red coat. You know the one - of course I'm talking about Michael Jackson! December 2nd marks the 40th anniversary of the amazing THRILLER video - the result of a collaboration between one of Hollywood's most successful directors, an Academy Award-winning makeup effects artist, and one of the greatest entertainers the world has ever known. Together they created one of the most expensive short films ever made - a mini epic featuring an eye-popping transformation sequence, dancing zombies, and an iconic rap by a horror superstar. All that and more in the thrilling 90th episode of My Haunted Head! Listen, rate and SUBSCRIBE on your favorite podcast app!

ROCKTOBER continues with a look at the greatest hard rock and metal bands of our time, and the songs that best represent what they're all about. If someone had never heard of your favorite band, what song would you play to show why they're so great? The hard part in this is you can only pick ONE SONG to represent what that band is all about. To work our way through this topic we have 7 categories: THE FOUNDING FATHERS, THE NEW WAVE OF BRITISH HEAVY METAL, THE SUNSET STRIP BANDS, THE EAST COAST BANDS, THE BIG FOUR (+ 2 MORE), THE NEW WORLD ORDER and INTERNATIONAL HEAVYWEIGHTS.

Welcome to episode #84 of My Haunted Head. Halloween season is upon us, and we're all making our lists of movies we consider essential viewing throughout October. When we watch our favorite horror films, we all think "What would I do in that situation?" Or we yell at the screen "Idiot - you deserve to die! That would never happen to me!" In this episode Toddzilla and Matthew kick around some situations, and discuss whether they think they would survive their favorite horror movies. In doing so, they need to be realistic in their assessment of how they would react in a sometimes unrealistic situation. How would they fare when there's a killer on the loose, or the dead rise from their graves? Put yourself in your favorite horror films. Will you be the victim or the victor?
