It's episode 482 and we're joined by our new ParaPods Network besties Kalyn and Christian from the podcast, That's Pretty Dark! First Em tells us some spooky tales from St. Helens, Oregon including the Klondike Tavern. Then we hand the reigns over to Kalyn and Christian to tell us all about a formative movie for Em that was filmed in St. Helens... Halloweentown! Don't miss this deep dive into nostalgia with surprisingly prescient allegories. Let's just say, it still holds up. And always remember to BE the haunted coffee you want to see in the world... and that's why we drink!
