Laurie Strode Trap House

SHOCKTOBER comes to a fitting conclusion as Witchslammer General ROB ZOMBIE makes his Laurie Strode Trap House debut. The real shock? Our divisive discussion of RZ's remake (Zom-bee-make?) of HALLOWEEN with Scaredy Cat McKenzie Wilkes! We discuss other things, too. I promise this may be the last week of Kev trying to make the Trump "eugh" noise happen.

Be sure to support our pal Philip in the iHeart Radio "Top Host" competition! Let's get our boy a meeting with the Cryptkeeper!
