Happy Halloween!!!

Welcome to the conclusion of our October 2019 "Spooktacular"!   On this episode, the Necronomicast crew reviews and chats about the new film "Zombieland 2".     You'll also get an unnecessary history lesson about Omaha along with a very necessary tribute to the late, great friend of the show, Sig Haig.  We hope you all have enjoyed our October shows as we programmed something for everyone with our blast of episodes.  So....nut up and shut up as we take a trip to Zombieland on THE NECRONOMICAST!

Halloween season is here!   Doug and Brian use that as an excuse to escape the Crematorium and leave town for a bit.  We head down the road to Sidney, Iowa, home to the fabulous “Sinister Sidney”, the premier outdoor haunted attraction in Iowa!   On the way, we discuss our reaction to “JOKER”.  Once there, we interview the man behind the haunt, Rev. Michael, the Grave Digger (@20:30).  After going through the haunt, we discuss our reaction to the experience on the way back home (@26:00).  Stay tuned after the credits for some bizarre stories we share about working at various hotels in Nebraska and Iowa (@32:40)!  ROAD TRIP on this episode of The Necronomicast!!!!

This time, Wayne, Laurie, and Maggie give their reactions to the first season of Marianne. This French subtitled film offered some amazing frights and an interesting story that kept us hiding our eyes! Find it on Netflix and let us know what you think. 

Director/producer Rob Caprilozzi joins Brian and Doug for a firsthand behind the scenes discussion of his brand new documentary “Halloween in a Box”.   It is a wonderful look back at the Halloween costume companies Ben Cooper, Collegeville, and Halco.

These costume companies were a Halloween institution dating back to the 1930s. But in 1982, at the height of their popularity, the first case of domestic terrorism shook the U.S. in the form of the Chicago Tylenol murders and threatened to cancel Halloween forever. In an effort to save the holiday, the costume giants, although rivals in business, were forced to come together and unify or trick-or-treating would become extinct.

“Halloween in a Box” centers around the history and evolution of these Halloween costumes and explores the companies that brought dressing up on All Hallows Eve to the masses.

“Halloween in a Box” is available to stream on Amazon, Google Play, and YouTube Movies.
