The Vacant Gazing gang gets into the haunted spirit for Halloween this week by pitching some characters for a new Mario Party game. But these aren't from the usual Nintendo roster. They're pulling some villains from classic horror movies, and giving them some fun/creepy games to boot. They bring up some classic 80's hide-and-seek, some esoteric monster wack-a-mole, an evil car doing some Tokyo drifts, and a 90's POG battle. ...Waluigi also is there.

This week, Chris, Matt, and Ryan were inspired by Slender Man and dive into the creepy world of urban legends and creepy pastas to figure out which one would be a fun video game. They bust out horrifying stories of Hawaiian Pig Gods, Chupacabras, and something called a Skunk Ape. And because they're all from New Jersey, they HAVE to bring up a monster hunter style game about the Jersey Devil.
