Summary

The Halloweenies keep their favorite October tradition going! Last year, Michael Roffman and Dan Caffrey ventured to the Haddonfield Public Library to read Dennis Etchison/Jack Martin's 1981 novelization for Halloween II. Now, they pick up where Etchison/Martin left off with 1982's novelization for Halloween III: Season of the Witch. Together, they discuss the dreamy digressions, the timeless political themes wedged into the pages, the depiction of Challis, and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
