Oooooooh, creepy.

It's Halloween again, and that means one thing. Going to a lame haunted house. Okay, two things. You also need to run out and buy a big bag of lollipops for the trick-or-treaters, and not the Snickers you wanted because you waited until the last second again. Okay, three things: going to your neighbor's lame party you tried to get out of, but you and your wife gave two different reasons when they invited you and now you have to go and just try to sneak out at 9:49pm.

Let me cut to the chase: the one hundred and ninth thing that Halloween means is another episode of The Bookhouse Boys! This year we tackle "The Willows" and our primal fears of the unknown, of alienation and loneliness, and the knowledge, deep down, that we live on this planet only by the grace and forbearance of forces beyond our ken.
