Not As Brightly Lit

Summer is beginning, which will be leading into our favorite time of year. This week, Rob talks about where the first glimpses of Halloween at retail stores will be this summer. Sure, we're all sitting around the swimming pool, but we all have pumpkins on our mind.

Memorial Day weekend is approaching and summer is starting up! As the prelude to Halloween, summer indeed is a spooky season. In the spirit of those scary stories soon to be told around a camp fire, we're listening to an episode of 'The Witches Tale' from March 6th 1933 called 'Graveyard Mansion'. 

We're halfway into May and what to be for Halloween is obviously on our  minds. This week Rob talks one of Halloween's most popular costumes, or  as he calls it, THE Halloween costume. You've been it more than once and  so has everybody else. That's right, a robe with make-up on your face.  Probably one color with another color around your eyes. It's as part of  Halloween as pumpkins and plastic fangs.

Sometimes you  don't wear a costume on Halloween. Perhaps a t shirt that has a pumpkin  or a monster on it instead. Maybe one of these light up necklaces. This  week Rob takes a look at some of the seasonal stuff we wear in place of a  costume. Or as your shirt may say, 'This IS my costume'.

The old saying 'Happy Wife, Happy Life' rings true in this tale of a man in an unconventional marriage to a witch. This week we listen to "Don't tell me about Halloween" from a 'Quiet Please' episode that originally aired October 27th 1947 as Rob deals with the side effects of his second vaccination shot. 

Nothing says 'right now' like a look into some of this years upcoming Halloween food items!

There's nothing better than a good spooky story at Halloween... or anytime of the year! This weeks episode we listen to the Quiet Please episode 'Camera Obscura' from October 13th, 1947.

A scary movie is a great way to have some spooky fun any time of the year. Though if you've caught yourself yelling 'what are you doing?' at the TV... your not alone. This week, Rob talks some of the silliness used to combat Freddy Krueger. Because seriously, a Dungeon Master? 

It's April Fools Day and a good of a time to talk about something that most people think is a hoax. This week, Rob takes a little time to look at the Amityville Horror. Once the scene of a horrific mass murder then later became one of the most famous haunted houses in the world.
