Welcome to the Manor's haunting Halloween happenings! This special episode is just a nice stroll down the avenue of animated shows. Halloween shows that we watch, whether annually, every few years, or even just once because they aren't out anymore.
Next episode is about dark and creepy carnivals, including Ray Bradbury's "Something Wicked This Way Comes."

Welcome back to the Manor and to more Halloween haunted horror happenings. This time we get into Washington Irving's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," as 2020 marks the 200th anniversary of that great book. We also discuss adaptations, such as the Disney/Bing Crosby version, as well as related music.
Plus, the overlap of the headless horseman with the Wild Hunt! Hoorah!
So go dance a jig with Katrina and then listen to our show.
Next episode is about our favorite Halloween animated shows.

Welcome back to the Manor! Enjoy a special extra mid-week Halloween season episode. Last year, Jody and I went to a wonderful place called Doughnuts and Dragons, where we played a spooky card game called Gloom and also enjoyed tasty doughnuts and wonderful brews. We saved the episode for this Halloween season.
It is the last of our live recordings and was taken on James' phone, so much like the other live shows, it's not the best quality, but we still enjoyed doing it.
Next episode comes out Friday and is on the 200th anniversary of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," by Washington Irving.

Welcome back to the Manor and welcome to our annual Hobbit Day episode! (Which also marks our second anniversary!) Each year we talk about Hobbits to celebrate Bilbo and Frodo's shared birthday of September 22nd. This year, we get into how the movies made the hobbits, especially Merry and Pippin (but a fair bit of Samwise, too) the short shrift and how much more awesome they were in the books.
We also talk a bit about what we'll be doing to celebrate. So pull a pint from the cellar and pull out your favorite pipeweed, and join us in the merriment! (Get it? Snicker snicker.) Let's celebrate hobbits and the ending of our second year of podcasting.
Next week's episode continues the Led Zeppelin III era.
