There Will Be Geek

Pop Culture and Halloween have always had an interesting relationship. Whether it be the drawing in of the northern hemisphere nights, the telling of ghost stories, the delicious feelings of dread or the tingle of the fear that runs down your spine, there is something to be said for allowing the unknown and uncanny to thrill, delight and spook.   In this episode, we look at the roots of the festival, and talk about some notable films and TV specials built around this time of year. We look at why there is so much love for Halloween, and we delve into its impact and cultural footprint in Australia.   Plus there's our usual Thimble of Win. And absolutely no filth this time. Promise. http://people.com/movies/inside-the-real-story-that-inspired-the-conjuring-2/ https://www.amazon.com/Ghostwatch-Michael-Parkinson/dp/B005OJCPZU http://www.boysinthetrees.com.au/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloween_(1978_film) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Class_(2016_TV_series)
