Talking Halloween's Origins & Evolution

from Talking Strange Paranormal Show · host Den of Geek

And what makes John Carpenter's "The Shape" stalking the suburbs so scary from a folkloric and sociological perspective? Fear sociologist Dr. Margee Kerr and folklorist Dr. Lynne S. McNeill join host Aaron Sagers for a Spooky Season episode. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
