About this episode
Welcome to the Halloween episode! in this special, we look at a few topics that came out of the 1970s but became more prominent in the 80s.
The first has to do with the issue of poisoned Halloween candy. We were always on the lookout for razor blades in our candy, but did this ever even happen? Was it just a myth, and how did it become such a fear for us in the 80s? We'll also check out some classic 80s Halloween commercials, then look at a television Halloween special that rivals the Star Wars Holiday Special with how awful it was...
