Pod Stallions Episode 9: Monster Kids

October brings out the best in us as both Jason and myself appear to be "Autumns". More importantly, October serves as a countdown to Halloween and brings with it all sorts of memories of monsters and horror.

Throughout this episode we explore our first experiences with the genre, what publications were most helpful and what characters we enjoy the most. We chat about store bought costumes and how certain department stores smelled (not real great in my case).

Episode 9 gets on a weird tangent when we discuss TV specials, horror at a singing Kojak and wonder if Florence Henderson ever turned anything down.

"Monster Kids" is just the first of our Halloween podcasts, we'll be back in two weeks with an in-depth discussion about Monster related toys.
