Summary
This is a re-release of a special Holiday collaboration episode I put together a few years ago. I have gotten a lot of requests to hear it again and thought now would be a great time to share it.
…1 campfire…
…1 dark forest…
…31 bone-chilling stories…
…Will YOU survive the night?
This Halloween season, enter the woods for a unique and truly epic podcast experience! Around the campfire Shane Waters will introduce 31 crime podcast hosts. Each host brings a new, nerve-wracking true story to the circle. It’s an extra special, two part, five-hour, Halloween event, but before hitting play you might want to ask yourself…can you really handle this much murder and mayhem?
So, pull up to the fire and brace yourself for ‘A Nightmare Before Halloween’
…but be warned…
…bad things happen in these woods….
