This week’s podcast episode celebrates the start of Halloween season, with Becky and Merie diving into the Hook Man urban legend’s origin story, which may date back to the still-unsolved Texas-based Phantom Killer. Along the way, your hosts address the burning questions you didn’t know you had, like:

Which mental institution do YOU want to tour for a college field trip? Is a pre-Facebook advice column responsible for putting an end to lovers’ lanes and its associated “necking?” Which “Dawson’s Creek” dreamboat is Becky’s boyfriend in this episode? (Hint: It’s not Dawson!) Is Thor responsible for brutally killing a couple of orderlies in a 1920’s Iowa farm town?

 Come for Merie yelling the phrase, “YOU F**KING FLEE!” before Becky can even say the F word once. Stay to find out which recent Netflix movie is an unintentional horror show. Also: Did YOU pick the wrong night to pick on Stanley?!
