In this episode we watched the cult classic, Trick ‘r Treat, and broke down why the movie scares us so much. We talk about the superstitions and legends of Halloween, as well as the history of Halloween or Samhain. This is the perfect movie to get us into the Halloween spirit, and we hope this episode does the same for you.
