Welcome! It’s almost Halloween and we are counting down the days with our last horror-themed episode. This week, we have special guest Rizielde Roculan who challenges us to 31 days of horror. Rizie has taken on 31 days/31 horror movies and we go through all the movies she’s seen so far. How many has Shawn seen? How many has Earl seen? Well for Earl, probably zero, but there is only one way to find out for sure. We also get into why Rizie loves horror movies and the true meaning of Christmas. Not really, BUT REALLY! So put on your Halloween hat, whatever that is, and listen to our last horrific podcast for this Halloween.

Let it begin…the show now!
