October State of Mind

Happy Hauntingdays! A Very Scary Hautingday Spooktacular!

Ricky A Schroeder Season 1 Episode 8

In this Very Scary Hauntingday Spooktacular, although still living in October, Ricky admits that it mayyyy be a little December as well. There's actually a lot of very spooky and scary traditions and folklore and stories that are tied to the 'very merry'  holiday season, and Ricky talks about it all! Krampus, Gryla, True creepy stories including Xmas shopping stories, and some talk of the Monoliths and Aliens for good measure! After listening, you may want to board up your chimneys this holiday season!
