Boo! It’s Halloween in Walnut Grove, and Laura’s seen… something horrifying. Or so she thinks. This week, Dean, Alison and Pamela slice into the legendary (and hilariously gory) “Monster of Walnut Grove” — the closest thing Little House ever got to a horror movie!

Laura’s convinced she’s witnessed Nels Oleson chop off Harriet’s head — (you know, the usual small-town drama) -- and she goes full prairie panic. She’s up all night with nightmares, haunted by visions of poor Harriet’s severed head. With the help of her BFF, Carl, they share this dark secret--until Nellie and Willie get involved.

Meanwhile, Nels has no idea that Laura thinks he is a decapitating murderer. Spoiler alert — he isn't. It wasn’t Harriet's head. It was a new (and terrifying) mannequin for the store.

Alison dishes on the behind-the-scenes madness in filming this episode, from Jonathan Gilbert, Richard Bull and Michael Landon.

So grab your pumpkin spice coffee, settle in by the flickering lantern light, and get ready for a howling good time on the prairie.

Spoiler alert: No Harriets were harmed in the making of this episode.Then, join us on Patreon, where Alison and Dean take a deep dive into all things Michael Landon, in honor of what would have been his 89th birthday this Halloween.
