Pumpkin spice—it’s more than just a latte flavor. In this episode of The Halloween Podcast, I explore the fascinating history behind one of fall’s most beloved and divisive trends. From its origins as a centuries-old spice blend to its rise as the ultimate symbol of autumn, I uncover how pumpkin spice made its way from kitchens to coffee cups, and why it became such a cultural phenomenon. Along the way, I’ll share surprising facts, historical connections to Halloween, and the marketing magic that turned it into a seasonal obsession.

In this episode of The Halloween Podcast, I dive into one of the most disturbing and controversial arcade games ever released: Chiller. Developed by Exidy in 1986, Chiller didn’t make you a hero or even a villain—it made you the torturer. With light-gun gameplay centered around brutal, helpless victims, the game was banned or rejected by most arcades and remains one of gaming’s darkest curiosities.

I explore the gameplay, the controversy, the unlicensed NES port, and why—despite everything—I might still buy the cabinet if I ever found one. This is the story of a game that shouldn’t exist… but somehow still does.

In 1971, the Perron family moved into an old farmhouse in Harrisville, Rhode Island—and for nearly a decade, they claimed to live alongside something unexplained. Their experiences would later inspire The Conjuring, but the real story is far more complex than what was shown on screen.

In this episode, I explore the actual events behind the Perron family haunting, using only verified sources. We’ll look at what the family claimed, what happened when Ed and Lorraine Warren got involved, and how the legend of Bathsheba Sherman became tangled in local folklore. With a skeptical eye, we’ll break down the difference between fact, fiction, and the lasting power of a well-told ghost story.

There’s been a lot of talk about the Annabelle doll lately—so I figured it’s time we go back to where it all started.

In this episode of The Halloween Podcast, I take you through the real story behind one of the world’s most infamous haunted objects. We’ll look at how a Raggedy Ann doll became the face of modern horror, what Ed and Lorraine Warren actually said about her, and how her legacy continues to grow—especially after the strange and tragic events of 2025.

We’ll also talk about Hollywood’s take on the legend, what’s fact vs. fiction, and why skeptics still question everything about her. Plus, I’ll tell you about the haunted apartment, the scratched-up roommate, and the man who dared Annabelle to harm him—only to die hours later.

Is it all hype? Or is there something truly evil hiding behind that stitched-on smile?

Listen now and decide for yourself.

Just days before Halloween, four high school friends discover something strange deep in the woods behind their neighborhood—an unfinished coffin sitting alone in a clearing. What begins as a creepy curiosity quickly turns into something much more unsettling as fear, suspicion, and imagination spiral out of control.

In this original three-part Halloween story, we explore what happens when you let your mind run wild… and start to wonder if something might be running with it.

Inspired by late-night campfire tales and classic October dares, The Coffin in the Woods is a slow-burn, eerie tale about friendship, fear, and the shadows we create for ourselves.

Turn down the lights, grab some candy, and press play—just don’t look too hard at what’s waiting in the trees.

In this brand-new standalone audio story, a man driving down a fog-choked road picks up a young woman hitchhiking in the dead of night. As they ride deeper into the darkness, unsettling clues begin to surface—memories that don’t line up, a road that doesn’t end, and a creeping suspicion that something is very, very wrong. Neither of them knows the truth. But something does.

Don’t miss this eerie new tale from The Halloween Podcast. Turn the lights down, and listen closely… because some rides never end.
