Happy Halloween! This episode was supposed to air on 11/4, but we figured you'd all appreciate hearing this one a week early in the spirit of the season. The next episode will air on schedule on 11/18, so make sure you check out some older spooky season TBC episodes while you wait:

• The Hog from Carnacki, the Ghost Finder by William Hope Hodgson *Special Guests D & Ken from Antiques Freaks*
• Drag Queen Dino Fighters by MP Johnson *Patron’s Choice*
• Man, F*ck This House by Brian Asman *Patron's Choice*
• E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial in His Adventure on Earth by William Kotzwinkle *Special Guest Mary Parker*
• The Haunted Vagina by Carl Mellick III
• In the House in the Dark of the Woods by Laird Hunt *Patron's Choice*

This week it was Chris's turn to head over to r/horrorlit to pick through more of the sub's worst horror books from 2024. He was lured to The Paleontologist simply based on the thought that ghost dinosaurs seemed an especially funny concept.

In addition to our usual barnyard language, today’s episode includes discussion or mention of child abuse, abduction, and murder; ghosts; implied pedophillia; and the pandemic.

Chris wants to die as quickly as possible while Paris chooses life. Paris's microphone is backwards, Chris can't stop creating new lyrics for a bad 90s song, and we play another round of Power Rangers Monster or Weed Strain?
