Just when you thought it was safe to take down the 12ft Skeleton, it’s time for Halloween Part 2 here at the Nightmare Cottage!
After a lighthearted follow-up lecture on the holiday’s history, the ladies lean back into the lurid for a look at some loathsome Halloween happenings. Tikes tricked into tasting treacherous treats, sex workers savaged for sampling sweets… Sheesh. It’s enough to make even a ghost writer buried beneath the floorboards of some f&@%ed up cottage weep. But hey – you seem like you’re into that kinda stuff, so you’ll probably love it.
Happy Halloween one and all!
