9 - Halloween Special

All work and no play makes Noah and Kyle dull boys, which is why today on Humming Fools things are getting spooky and kooky for what is hopefully the first of many annual Halloween specials! Listen in terror as Noah and Kyle discuss their top horror films, examine their affection for the genre, and make a case for how it can be so much more than gore, sex, and obnoxious jump scares. If that sounds tasty, then light that jack-o-lantern, grab some candy corn, and get comfortable—it's gonna be one HELL of a night!

New episodes EVERY Tuesday around noon! Please be sure to subscribe, check out our website Ominous.Media, and follow our official and personal accounts on Instagram! Noah & Kyle

As always, thanks to Josh Flynn for our tasty intro and outro music. Check him out on Instagram!
