Episode 77 — The Index Is Stuck
“Night and day. Summer and winter. Seedtime and harvest. Life and death. That’s what Halloween is, all rolled up in one.” ― The Halloween Tree)
As our host Terri Doty prepares to start recording a new episode for October, she quickly realizes that nothing is working in the whisper room. When she calls out to her co-producer, co-creator and engineer Stephen, he doesn’t respond.
Then Terri learns that she’s locked in the booth.
A strange voice comes through. It says they’re Terri’s co-host for this episode.
Everything will be fine… as long as Terri makes this episode special. Something perfect for Halloween.
Does Terri deliver? You be the judge— Actually, no. If Terri does not deliver, let her live in her delusions.
Halloween Media includes Ray Bradbury’s The Halloween Tree, Crystal Lake, Mike Flanagan’s Carrie, Trick ‘r Treat and much, much more! If you want to know what else made the list, just start the episode!
In addition to all the Halloween/Horror things you should definitely consider reading or watching, Terri tells TWO stories.
The Caller Revisited: Terri goes back to a time in her life when a mysterious caller made her feel unsafe in a place where she was supposed to be safest.
The Kentucky House: Terri visited an abandoned house with a couple friends years ago. To this day, she can’t explain what really happened that night.
