“Haunted House” recap!

Little House on the Prairie 50th Anniversary Podcast

Show Notes

It’s time for a little Halloween-season fun on LittleHouse50Podcast! This week, we’re heading back to Walnut Grove for our recap of Season 2’s “Haunted House.” Now, this episode may have absolutely nothing to do with Halloween itself, but with a title like “Haunted House,” how could we resist making it our Halloween-themed episode? After all, what better time of year to revisit a story with a spooky twist?

We’re taking a closer look at the mystery behind the episode, revisiting the memorable moments, and sharing our thoughts on this slightly spooky chapter of Little House on the Prairie. We’ll talk about what makes this episode stand out, the characters at the heart of the story, and the themes that give it that classic Little House feel.

So settle in for a trip back to Walnut Grove. It may not be a Halloween episode, but we think “Haunted House” is just the right amount of spooky for the season!

Then join us on Patreon, where we celebrate Michael Landon, who not only loved Halloween, but Halloween is also his birthday! Alison gives us a deep dive into the man, the legend, and her own personal relationship with him. It's Michael Landon mania!

Some actors make an impression. Katy Kurtzman made two—and both are unforgettable. Little House fans first fell in love with her as Anna Gillberg in the beloved Season 3 episode "The Music Box," where she delivered one of the most heartfelt performances in the series as a shy young girl with a stutter who finds an unlikely friend in Laura Ingalls (and unfortunately crosses paths with one very smug Nellie Oleson and one very stolen music box). She later returned as young Caroline Quiner in "I Remember, I Remember," giving us a sweet glimpse into the early romance of Charles and Caroline. Beyond Walnut Grove, Katy built an impressive career with starring roles in television movies, hit series, and earned three Young Artist Award nominations before expanding into writing, directing, producing, and coaching the next generation of performers.

For nearly a year, Alison Arngrim managed to do the impossible: keep a secret. And not just any secret—she appears in a surprise cameo in Episode 2 of Netflix's brand-new Little House on the Prairie! On the very day the series premiered, we sat down with everyone's favorite Nellie Oleson to finally spill the beans. How did it happen? What was it like stepping back into the world of Little House? And perhaps most impressively... how on earth did Alison keep this from the fans for an entire year?
