About this episode

The hosts reflect on Halloween memories and the changes in traditions surrounding the holiday.

Ed Bolden-Greer and Jacob Garner crack open the cauldron to stir up Halloween memories, ghost stories, childhood costumes, and the slow death of door-to-door Trick-or-Treating (thanks, Trunk-or-Treat). From haunted nostalgia to real-life updates, the hosts reflect on how the season has changed, how their lives have shifted, and what still haunts them…in the best way.
