Tales from the Big Bad Woods

Octoberpod AM

Show Notes

Something evil is lurking in the woods on this edition of Octoberpod AM classic horror podcast. Your horror host Edward October is your guide on a dark pilgrimage through forests haunted with weird beasts and eldritch horrors.

First up: ghosts and ancient rituals in the wild, untamed wilderness of West Virginia. Then, Edward October chats with Social Séance Society about The Blair Witch Project, 90s horror films, his horror secret origins & the whole shebang. Plus: a weird werewolf story from the pen of Robert E. Howard (creator of Conan the Barbarian & Red Sonja). Featuring special guests Nicola Bardon (Tis Yourself podcast), and Tara & Jessica (co-hosts, 3 Spooked Girls & Social Séance Society).

The forest is dark and full of terrors because we're serving up werewolves, witchcraft, found footage paranoia, Halloween franchise continuity confusion, and midnight pancakes with a swig of West Virginia moonshine on this edition of Octoberpod AM: the retro horror podcast for bold individualists.
