Trick or treat, smell my feet, we made a new show this week.
Yes, you heard that right: the stars aligned, and we summoned Scott once more to join us for a brand new recording of The Wizard’s Nightshirt podcast. This week, with Halloween and our new Halloween mini-series right around the corner, we thought it would be fun to get ourselves into the kooky-spooky spirit with a countdown of the Ten Essential Elements for a Perfect 80s Halloween (early 90s too, in special circumstances).
We’re talking about the memories, culture and candy that give us a special mixture of fear, excitement and fantasy – everything that makes this holiday so special.
We’ll also catch up a little and give you a small preview of what to expect from the “Curdle Holler” mini-series, which debuts next week. Stay tuned until the end for the Curdle Holler goodbye song – it’ll put you in the perfect Halloween-town headspace.
Editor’s note: I did only light editing on this one, so we’d have more time to work on the mini-series, but the raw(er) conversation was a lot of fun, and I think you’ll have a good time with us. Here’s a spoiler: our beagle, Porter, at one point became fascinated with Scott’s car in the driveway and decided to tell us about it. Also, we have a lot of opinions about candy.
Did I mention “Curdle Holler” debuts next week?
