    The 50th Episode, 2nd Anniversary, Halloween Special! With 5-Timer Brandon Knox.

    Will and Madryn celebrate our 50th episode, the 2nd anniversary of the show, and HALLOWEEN, with another all guests bunker episode. We catch up with Feceus the Kraken, Ryder the Dragon, Skeleton 527, and Cupid, before being thrown into some high-stakes trivia! We also take some questions and comments from some surprize former guests (Gordon Harper, Sappho Hansen Smythe, Jordan Kennedy, and Christopher Seeney) on the Monster Phone Line. Finally, the monsters make their pitches for the Golden Creatchies, before the bunker is found by a notorious cult leader, and 5-timer Brandon Knox, arriving to receive his honorary jacket! Happy Halloween! Watch out for giant spiders!
