Welcome to the last episode of the spooky season (sigh). In this episode we talk about Halloween laws from all over the world, and then dive into some crazy laws that are still on the books in Canada and the USA. Due to the craziness of the world, we went for a lighter episode this time so please enjoy and we'll be back to our spooky content next week. 

Happy Halloween Everyone!

Welcome to this week's episode! We're in the midst of spooky season but... why is this season so spooky? Why are ghosts everywhere? When did we start wearing costumes and asking for candy from strangers? How do I predict who my future spouse will be? 
Today we're doing a speedrun on the history of Halloween, looking at everything from Samhain, to All Saint's Day to a procession of youth with cow horns following a man in a decorated horse skull. This episode truly has a little of everything.

The countdown to Halloween is on! In this episode we talk about Halloween Sadism - and no we're not talking whips and chains this time. Joel Best coined the term Halloween Sadism to mean contaminating children's candy. Have there been any real cases of a stranger poisoning Halloween candy? Today we're going to take a look at where it all began, and some cases of Trick or Treating gone bad... You can lock your doors, but the biggest threat to your candy is likely already in your house...

Today we're talking about Men in Black! (The theory, only a little about the hit 1997 movie). Join a super tired Tess as we discuss such topics as: do you think the men in black are wearing masks during covid? Do they even need to if they're aliens? Are men in black just an alien species trying to cover up other alien species' shenanigans?
