Welcome to the grand finale of Nerdoween 2025: The Final Fright.

After a month of monsters, haunted hardware, cursed VHS tapes, and cult horror kings, Nate closes the book on Nerdoween with one last deep dive into what makes fear human.

In this feature-length episode:

Monster Manual: The Zombie - a breakdown of horror’s oldest metaphor.

Movie Monster Spotlight: Ghostface - the slasher who knew the rules.

The What-If Crypt: What if Bungie had made a Halo horror spinoff? What if John Carpenter directed RE 2? And many more!

Halloweens of Yesteryear: The 2010s

The History We Haunted: A walk through horror’s evolution from the 1970s to the 2020s.

Behind the Mask: A love letter to horror fans, conventions, and the family that fear built.

The Sound of Fear: Why silence, static, and one piano key can still wreck your nerves.

Dia de los Muertos: Remembering the ones we love, and lighting a candle for Ripley.

Community Checkpoint: True listener ghost stories including “The Man in the Cowboy Hat,” “The Sleeper,” and “Under the Bed.”

Then it ends the only way it should - with gratitude, love, and a reflection on what it means to carry the light forward when the fog rolls back in.
