Menacing Legends of the Great White North | Halloween Special 2024

Episode 29 - When it comes to Halloween, what is the first thing that comes to mind? Carving pumpkins, trick or treating, or maybe dressing up. Dressing up as a terrifying monster perhaps?

In this Halloween special we are going to talk about the legends of the vampire, the werewolf, and a possessed doll, all from the great white north.
