    Wonderful Sausage By Alvin Schwartz Explained (CONTENT WARNING)

    CONTENT WARNING: This episode discusses murder, cannibalism, and harm to children and animals. Parental discretion is advised before listening with children. Today, Meghan and Lyle sink their teeth into “Wonderful Sausage,” a particularly gruesome tale collected by Alvin Schwartz in Scary Stories 3: More Tales to Chill Your Bones (1991), with unforgettable illustrations by Stephen Gammell.

Lyle also traces the story’s folkloric roots to the Ozarks and Louisiana as we explore where this deliciously disturbing tale came from. 30 days until Halloween!

    Eerie Indiana Memories (1991)

    Today on the Xennial Countdown to Halloween, Meghan and Lyle are heading to one of the strangest little towns of the early 1990s: Eerie, Indiana. Premiering on NBC in 1991, the series followed 13-year-old Marshall Teller as he tried to document the increasingly bizarre things happening around him in a place where almost everyone else seemed perfectly happy to accept the weirdness as normal. Meghan remembers watching Eerie, Indiana as a kid—most likely during its later run on The Disney Channel—but remembers surprisingly little about it, so she and Lyle revisit what made this short-lived series so unusual. They look at its place just ahead of the huge 1990s kid-horror boom, its distinctly Xennial world, and the surprising amount of social satire hiding beneath all that small-town weirdness. 33 days until Halloween!

    Buttons and Rusty in Which Witch Is Which (1984)

    Buttons and Rusty are heading into Halloween for the first time, and the young bear and fox quickly discover that humans have some very strange October traditions. Meghan revisits a childhood favorite filled with trick-or-treating, witches, a pair of criminals, and one ridiculously catchy title song. And given her mild childhood obsession with “woodland animals” — something friends and family can readily attest to — putting a bear and a fox into a Halloween special was really stacking the deck. Meanwhile, Lyle experiences Which Witch Is Which? for the first time. 34 days until Halloween!

    Garfield's Halloween Adventure (1985)

    Garfield loves food, hates Mondays, and discovers that Halloween may be the perfect holiday for one very important reason: candy. Today, Meghan and Lyle are watching Garfield’s Halloween Adventure for the first time. Neither grew up with this 1985 special, but after hearing generations of Xennials talk about creepy old houses, ghostly pirates, and one surprisingly spooky Halloween night, it was time to find out what they missed. We’re talking homemade costumes, trick-or-treating, Lou Rawls, Garfield’s questionable candy ethics, and the moment this funny neighborhood Halloween adventure turns into a genuinely creepy ghost story — with a little Halloween history along the way. 35 days until Halloween!

    Ghostbusters Movie Memories

    Who ya gonna call? For Xennials, Ghostbusters was far more than a 1984 movie. The film became a full-blown childhood phenomenon, with its unmistakable logo, proton packs, Ecto-1, ghosts, toys, cartoons and one of the most recognizable theme songs of the decade. Today, Lyle and Meghan revisit the original Ghostbusters and The Real Ghostbusters, looking at the strange combination of comedy and the supernatural that made the franchise so much fun—and helped it find a permanent home at Halloween despite the movie having nothing whatsoever to do with the holiday. And with both animated Ghostbusters series that debuted in 1986 celebrating their 40th anniversaries this year, the timing couldn't be better. 36 days until Halloween!
