  • Sounds of Halloween Part 1: Spooky Sounds
    May 21 2026

    This week on The Halloween Podcast, Lyle and Meghan dive into the spooky sounds of Halloween in Part 1 of a brand new series: The Sound of Halloween. From the iconic 1990s Halloween decoration noises that filled department stores and haunted houses, to eerie cassette tapes packed with screams, creaking doors, thunder, and ghostly laughter, this episode is a nostalgic trip back to the sounds that defined Halloween for an entire generation.

    Along the way, they share personal Halloween memories, discuss classic spooky sound effects albums and tapes, and explore why certain sounds instantly transport people back to trick-or-treat nights, school parties, and Halloween aisles filled with fog machines and plastic pumpkins. If you grew up hearing witches cackle from cassette players or looping soundtracks echo through your neighborhood on Halloween night, this episode is for you.

  • Edvard Munch | Ep. 97
    Apr 16 2026

    In this episode of The Halloween Podcast, we take a closer look at the life of Edvard Munch — the artist behind The Scream, one of the most recognizable and unsettling images ever created. But beyond the painting lies a story shaped by illness, loss, anxiety, and a lifelong struggle to understand the emotions that followed him.

    We explore Munch’s early life, marked by tragedy and sickness, and how those experiences influenced his work. From The Sick Child to the moment that inspired The Scream, this episode breaks down the real events and emotional weight behind his art. We also examine Love and Pain, later known as Vampire, and how its interpretation added a darker, gothic layer to his legacy.

    This isn’t a story about ghosts or legends — it’s about something quieter, and in many ways, more unsettling. A look at how fear, grief, and memory can shape a person… and leave a lasting mark on the world.

  • History of The Night Watchman | Ep. 96
    Apr 15 2026

    In this episode of The Halloween Podcast, I take a look at the history of the night watchman, the lone figure once trusted to stay awake while entire towns slept. Long before modern police and security systems, night watchmen walked dark streets with lanterns, staffs, and bells, watching for fire, theft, and anything else that might go wrong before morning. Over time, their role became tied not just to safety, but to superstition, folklore, and eerie stories from the night. From the streets of old Europe to colonial America, and from haunted railroad crossings to unsettling reports from modern security guards, I explore how the night watchman stood at the edge of order and fear, where practical duty often brushed up against the unexplained.

  • Home For The Howlin' Days | The Halloween Podcast Presents
    Dec 25 2025

    This holiday season, The Halloween Podcast presents a chilling Christmas horror tale set in the quiet mountain town of Red Elk—where Christmas nights are silent for a reason.

    When Evan Merritt returns home for the holidays after years away, he expects family tension, old memories, and forced cheer. What he doesn’t expect are the howls echoing from the snowy ridge above town… or the discovery of a forgotten tradition meant to keep something terrible at bay.

    As a silver bell resurfaces, secrets come to light, and voices begin calling from the darkness, Evan learns that some Christmas traditions exist for survival—and some bargains don’t stay buried.

    Home for the Howlin’ Days is a dark, atmospheric holiday horror story about family, folklore, and what happens when the hills remember your name.

    So lock your doors, turn down the lights, and listen closely…
    Because if you hear someone calling from the woods tonight,
    it might not be who you think.
