Spooktober! - Spooky Movie Franchises & Nightmares, too! | Ep. 403

Ever woken up frozen in the dark, sensing a shadowy figure lurking just out of reach? Nicole dives into the eerie reality of sleep paralysis—its science, cultural myths, and quick escapes—before we pivot to the silver screen's most relentless slashers. From Ghostface's meta mind games and Jason's lakeside rampages to found-footage chills, demonic deals, and Xenomorph hunts across the stars, Sara tallies the terrors of horror's almost endless empires. Plus, a last-minute Halloween candy confession: Why snack-sized bars beat mini bites (of course!), and how Sal's leftovers fuel the ultimate holiday cookie treat. Happy Halloween!
