After a longer than expected hiatus, we're back(ish) with international stories of Halloween from Europe! We also enjoy the ephemeral nature of spooky experiences that sometimes exist just for us in a moment (and then last a little longer if you write into a podcast about them).

Best Places to Celebrate Halloween in Belgium

Happy Halloween 2023!
Here's an extra special treat in your pillowcase: an It's Always Halloween/Farthouse Crossover Episode!
Farthouse is a monthly film podcast hosted by Cinephile Cuties (and Lanterns!), Casey O'Brien and Patrick Mallon. They watch arthouse movies, so you can pretend that you did. And today the three of us discuss The Shining, spooky bathrooms, and DIY Filmmaking!
We also read your EEEEKmails about artsy horror, film catchphrases, nude scenes in class, and bathroom ghosts and banshees!
Casey and I are making a feature film together, 14 Stories in a Bathoom! Read more and/or contribute to our fundraising campaign here!
Please note that this episode, much like The Shining, does contain adult language and situations and would probably be slapped with an R-rating if the MPAA had their say!
Happy October 31st, Lanterns! The veil is thin and the bonfires are lit, let the harvest celebration begin!
This is a collection of close to 20 All Hallows Hotline calls and EEEEKmails pertaining to our day of days. I hope this helps set the mood. Sending you all my wishes for a joyful day filled with spooks, treats, community, and remembrance. You are ALIVE, don't let 'em forget it!
Please note, we are taking the rest of the week off to recover! We return 11/10! In the meantime, please tell us how you celebrated this year! Call the All Hallows Hotline at 802-532-DEAD or write an EEEEKmail to [email protected].
