This year, Virginia is arresting trick-or-treaters over the age of 12 for being out past 8 pm! #TrueStory So, does this mark the end of trick-or-treating altogether? On this episode, Ian breaks down the history of Halloween in America, explaining how our traditions have evolved from their ancient origins to the second largest commercial holiday after Christmas (starting @ 38:25). In addition, Geoff & Ian are chatting about their favorite scary movies, the age at which they'll let their kids trick-or-treat alone, Halloween parties, forgotten matchmaking rituals, ghost stories, political haunted houses, "misappropriated" costumes, Geoff's disdain for candy corn & much more! #SmashingPumpkins #SoulCakes #HappyHalloween
