2020 Zombie 7 Halloween Grab Bag

Hey zombies!  It’s that time of year again. The leaves are restless, being strewn about by a strong cold wind — the kind of wind that sinks into your bones. The night is a little darker.  You can feel the spirits lurking just behind the trees.

It’s All Hallow’s Eve!  It’s a time when the frightening is the norm and the spooks come out at night. We have collected the best of the best to bring you a king sized edition of our Halloween Grab Bag looking at not one, not two, but three Halloween specials.

In this episode, our expert Halloween panel of Ron, Little Miss Horror Nerd, Hammer and Channy Dreadful will explore the newest Halloween treat this year, Happy Halloween Scooby Doo.

Once they’ve finished with the latest Scooby Doo offering, the gang travels back in time to 1993 to take a look at a special before it’s time. A tree that holds the souls of people…

 

Halloweentree

 

And finally, the team transports even further back in time to 1988 Buffalo, New York for a local newscast so scary, it had to go by it’s own name…The Mike Randall Very Scary Halloween Special!

Episode 326: Trick or Treat

 

We are going even a little further into our bag of Halloween treats to the sweet, sweet year of 1986. Some point to this year as the pinnacle of trick-or-treating success. Some just point to this year and laugh at the hairstyles.  They are jerks.

Regardless, this was the year of our Halloween movie of the week…

Mark Price tries to break out of his role of Skippy on Family Ties by carrying this film about backwards messaging on Heavy Metal albums. This was a real fear (of right wing conservative Midwest moms) of the time so of course, Hollywood is going to turn it into a feature film.

Does this semi-cult favorite still hold up in 2020?  Did it ever hold up? Can Ozzy Osborne and Gene Simmons save us all?! Ron and Little Miss Horror Nerd are about to find out on this edition of the podcast!
