Monday Oct 31, 2022
Welcome to a special All Hallows, Samhain, Day of the Dead, Halloween episode! On the 10th anniversary of the passing of Ray Bradbury (2012) and the 50th anniversary of that most excellent of books "The Halloween Tree," here's a short sequel that James wrote, because he's always wanted to know what happened when D for Doom and B for Bones came to collect the year the boys gave Pipkin. He hopes you enjoy it and both of us hope you have a great Halloween tonight!

Happy Halloween to all of you! We hope you enjoy the best and most spooky of holidays this evening, as the sun sets and we go into the dark time of the year (for those of us in the northern hemisphere anyway!).
Just a short episode to wish you spookiness, talk about what we're doing tonight, and then recaps of Nosferatu whose 100th anniversary is this year and of Halloween III whose 40th is this year.
Enjoy a spooky Samhain!
Next week's episode is about spooky harvest beings -- so we're sticking with the spooky a bit as we go into the month of Thanksgiving (at least for us Yanks).
