  • Lights my inner jack-oโ€™-lantern

    I love this show. I have always been a Halloween lover but listening to this had me understanding all the reasons why, and hearing how other people fell in love with the holiday brings me so much joy. Especially when the world can be chaotic, we need something like this thatโ€™s lots of fun and gives us permission to be our full weird selves!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#92 - Rich Smith | The Romero Theatre
Q: What can visitors expect from this year's cryptid-themed haunt?
Guests will encounter a witches' coven coordinating with various cryptids to cast a spell and open the veil, with an on-site stamp system for attendees dressed as witches or wizards, creating an interactive, fate-of-the-night experience.
#92 - Rich Smith | The Romero Theatre
Q: How did the Romero Theatre Home Haunt originate and evolve over the years?
It started as a small backyard setup, grew through a series of increasingly ambitious year-to-year themes, and eventually became a community-driven, one-night-only event that honors horror cinema and the legacy of George A. Romero, all while adapting to practical constraints like manpower and geography.
#91 - Cris The Girl
Q: What was your vision for the channel when you launched and how has it evolved?
She aimed for a theme-park heavy channel focused on Disney and local parks, but Halloween shopping and decorating became the most popular content, shifting the channel toward a cozy, lifestyle approach with year-round spooky elements.
#91 - Cris The Girl
Q: Name origin stories. So how did Cris The Girl come about?
Cris describes initially intending a theme-park focused channel, then the idea of Cris The Girl came from a playful wordplay tying to Disney and her name, which felt right and stuck.
#89 - Josh Spero and TT Hernandez of Hall-Lore-Ween
Q: Where did the initial idea for Halloween come from, Josh? What sparked it?
Josh explained that the project grew from authentic, innocent beginnings in education and creating student-driven Halloween horror stories, which evolved into a collaborative universe with TT where original lore and a strong host character (Jack-O) anchored the series.
