If you don't follow the rules on Halloween night, you won't live to see tomorrow - but you may survive long enough to hear the first half of our in-depth coverage of the 2009 cult classic, TRICK ‘r TREAT. That’s right, we’re digging into the backstory of how the movie was made, what role Superman played in messing with its theatrical release, and which movie scared the studio so badly that they ended up holding it back completely. All this, plus forbidden parties, hated X-Men, Jigsaw’s unwitting posse, VHS subterfuge, ghost crucifixions, and a fun-sized edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure. Head door-to-door for a little murder and mayhem, won’t you?

NOTE: This episode and the next required multiple attempts to complete due to two hospitalizations, one extended internet interruption beyond our control, and a massive software snafu. Please forgive any audio quality issues, as this was the best that they could be repaired at this time.
