The Wild True History Of Halloween - Lisa Morton | 09

from For All The Saints With Ben Hancock · host Hancock Productions

Lisa Morton - author of 'Trick or Treat: A History of Halloween,' the encyclopaedia for Halloween, and over 100 horror short stories - says that Halloween is the most misunderstood holiday on our calendar. I wanted to ask why! I also wanted to find out what role religion has had and still has to play in this macabre holiday. Some highlights include Lisa's favourite horror film, how to not get scared at scary films, where witches with broomsticks came from, how Halloween links to an old Celtic celebration, and much more!Follow For All The Saints on social media and sign up to the newsletter for updates and inspiring weekly messages:For All The Saints episodes are released every Monday on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and more.
