Published: Oct. 14, 2022, 6:22 p.m.

Class is back in session! Host Spencer brought candy for the class, or at least something sweet, as this episode is a real treat to film history fans! Spooky Season looks to the horror films that helped start it all, as we discuss the History of the Universal Monsters. The pod dives into over 30 years of classic horror films, and goes over pound for pound the best horror character lineup of all time: Dracula, Frankenstein, the Wolfman, the Mummy, the Invisible Man, the Creature from the Black Lagoon, the Bride of Frankenstein, and the Phantom of the Opera. It's a who's who of Horror icons, and we discuss how they came to be, the merits each film brought to the genre, and how they inspired almost 100 years of horror.
