Welcome back to Fright School! We are STOKED to have podcast guru, HORROR MOVIE NIGHT cohost, and our dear friend Matt Kelly back on Fright School! This is loooooong overdue! We catch up on Matt\u2019s life as King of the Podcasts and his side gig as a smoke and mirrors officiant. We chat about MASH, RINGS OF POWER, and HOUSE OF THE DRAGON. Matt recommends the GREAT BRITISH BAKE OFF which might help Joshua get something other than horror in his diet. This week we kick off Spooky Season 2022 with our salute to Kindertrauma! Yes, those spooky kids movies that shook us and had us begging to be scared for the rest of our lives. BEETLEJUICE is the perfect place to start as one of Joshua\u2019s all time favorite films and Matt\u2019s gateway horror pick! We chat about this \u201cghostly, gothed out fairy tale,\u201d Joshua shows he has zero idea what a \u201cyuppie\u201d is, the group compares how we first met the Ghost with the Most, and discuss normalcy in the movies of TIm Burton. Say it once, say it twice, third time\u2019s a charm!
