It’s a spooky Saturday Night Grit as the Grit City crew dives into Halloween madness, haunted houses, and the hilarious horrors of tech life. From AI-controlled homes that talk back to you, to VR games gone wrong, and Halloween costumes that should’ve never seen the light of day — it’s chaos in true GCP fashion.

There’s talk of bad candy trades, drunk trick-or-treating memories, and one unforgettable story involving a very inappropriate pumpkin carving. The crew also shares thoughts on Tacoma’s haunted spots, spooky movie favorites, and the ongoing debate of “fun scary” vs. “actually terrifying.” This one’s a blend of laughs, jump scares, and pure Grit City energy.
