Hey Comics — Kids! Halloween Movies

Hey Comics Kids podcast logo

When your 8-year-old wakes you up in the morning by singing (to the tune of the Frozen song) “Do you wanna make a podcaaaaaaaaast?” … you know you’re gonna be talking movies.

Right after you get a cup of coffee.

This morning, on our drive to school, we decided to talk about Halloween movies. We discussed all the greats — Plan 9 From Outer Space, Hotel Transylvania, Nosferatu, Monster Squad, Nightmare Before Christmas, Mad Monster Party and more! And the last three minutes of the show had me laughing so hard, I had to pull the car over. It’s priceless.
