#23 - Halloween

Welcome to Wiser With Wine — Halloween Edition, where the only spirits we trust come in a bottle. This week, we’re diving headfirst into Halloween — from its ancient Celtic roots to today’s billion-dollar costume chaos. We unpack why Aussies suddenly decided it’s a thing, whether “slutty nurse” costumes are still in rotation, and which one of us would die first in a zombie apocalypse. We also chat the pop culture takeover — from Hocus Pocus to The Exorcist, and how social media made Halloween the Olympics of overdecorating. Plus, we explore the psychology of fear: why do we love being scared, and are horror fans secretly the most resilient? Grab your broomsticks (and a bottle of red) — it’s our spookiest, sassiest episode yet. 🧙‍♀️🍷
