It’s Halloween in Danville, and things are getting weird — even by Phineas and Ferb standards. This week on The Hallo-Rewind, we’re reanimating one of the most beloved and bizarre episodes in the series: Night of the Living Pharmacists! And we’re not doing it alone…

Joining us for this frightfully fun recap are two of the brilliant minds behind the madness — writers Joshua Pruett and Scott Peterson. Get ready for a deep dive into this spooky, satirical, and zombie-infested episode, as Joshua and Scott take us behind the scenes of how this love letter to classic horror (and zombie lore) came to life. They break down the inspiration behind the episode’s concept, how the team leaned into the tropes of horror, and the wild process of juggling heart, humor, and a horde of pharmacists.

We also talk about the legendary George A. Romero and Shaun of the Dead cameos — how they came to be, what they meant to the writers, and why they were essential to honoring the zombie genre. Joshua and Scott share some of their favorite cinematic Easter eggs and horror homages, from Night of the Living Dead to Rocky Horror, and give us a peek into the creative madness of the writer’s room.

So dodge a few Doof-zombies and tune your podcast-inator in to this episode of The Hallo-Rewind!
