In this week's episode The Mystics summon up the spirit of Halloween 👻 as they wander from ancient bonfires to your neighborhood cul-de-sac candy haul. The duo dives into the pagan roots of Samhain, where disguises were meant to fool wandering spirits, and how those traditions slowly transformed into our modern-day parade of costumes, jack-o’-lanterns, and a bag full of mini candy bars 🍫 They also explore the curious history of trick-or-treating. From “souling” and guising to knocking on doors for candy instead of prayers (a definite upgrade). The Gruesome Twosome take things back to the present with some personal Halloween favorites: the costumes that slayed 👩🏼‍🍳 the candy that stayed (and the ones that should’ve been left at the bottom of the bowl), and what they’re getting up to this spooky season. Expect laughs, light-hearted chaos, nostalgic nostalgia, and maybe a ghost or two lurking around the edges. So grab a pumpkin-spiced something, light the mood lighting (or a candle if you’re feeling witchy), and join us for an episode that’s equal parts history lesson and Halloween hangout. 🎃✨
