This week, we bring you a LIVE episode of the podcast, talking about the short horror anthology film Trick ‘r Treat with special guest Ele Matelan (WildClaw Theatre)!
Recorded at Chicago Theater Works as part of the 2nd Annual Chicago Podcast Festival, we take advantage of our 30-minute time slot to blitz our way through Trick ‘r Treat‘s surprisingly fun short tales of candy and carnage. From deceptively sexy werewolves to the ghosts of dead children, to a demonic pump-kid with a burlap sack over his head, Trick ‘r Treat has spooks and scares galore.
Take a listen to our live episode, and check out our custom cocktail and drinking rules!
