The Extra Special Halloween Special has returned for its triumphant sixth year! The Sixth in a series is usually terrible right? Well, we try our best to mix up the format and not regurgitate any of the previous segments, so you be the judge!

Each host brings 5 films to the table and we whittle down the list of 20 to 13 to program our ultimate film fest! Of course there will be some arguments and disagreements and there is even a phone-a-friend tiebreaker! We also talk about Halloween memories and the best kills in horror history! It wouldn’t be an Extra Special Halloween Special without feedback from our amazing listeners, including a first time caller! So grab a ticket to the hypothetical film fest, load up on junk food and tune into the world’s most dangerous Halloween special!
