In my opinion, Halloween is the most wonderful time of the year. For a few weeks in October, even your grandmothers favorite drug store is selling Skull shaped coffee mugs and blood splattered napkins. What's not to love about that? With the world temporarily embracing horror and darkness I decided to do the same here at Nighttime and fortunately, there are many spooky listeners of this show. It's to them I turn to tonight. So pour a drink, dim the lights, and get cozy. Tonight, in this Nighttim...
