Leighton Night with Brian Wecht

The prodigal (podrigal?) son returns: Jory (@jorygriffis) is back for a wonderful and very Halloweeny episode! We talk about our experiences at Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood, childhood Halloween costumes, best and worst candies, a couple of scary/not scary at all movies, and more! It's a lot of fun-- and as a special treat, next week's episode drops a day early on the 31st and will be a full length commentary of the movie Poltergeist with Jory! Normally we only do those for Patrons, but it's the HOLIDAY SEASON, BABY! See you next week with more Jory goodness. Check out our Patreon and support the show at patreon.com/leightonnight!

Wowza! It's another stunning solo episode, where Brian and Leighton discuss the kinds of hard-hitting topics listeners have come to expect: bogus NYT Connections categories, best and worst Halloween candies, the Hatman, the finger, and just how young can you show scary movies to children?
