In case you hadn't worked out from the sheer deluge of people changing their Twitter names to 'scary' variants back in late August whilst simultaneously moaning about everyone mentioning Christmas too early, it's nearly Halloween! So to mark the occasion, we've got a handful of nobody standups to do 'shocked' faces at an old Ghosts, Monsters And Legends from The Wide Awake Club.
Or, just possibly, we might have abandoned that idea in favour of a brand new two-part special of Why Won't You?, the podcast in which myself, Ben Baker and Phil Catterall take a look at some of the things that you can do with your spare time but probably won't. And as it's Halloween, the traditional time for watching spook-free modern horror films and dressing up as 'sexy' versions of characters from dull 'zoo vet'-based eighties dramas or something, we're going to to be counting down the 25 Most Scary Things That Weren't Meant To Be Scary.
Yes, there'll be no Ghostwatch, no Threads, no Alien, no Misty comic, no Public Information Films, no Stephen King, no The Usborne Book Of Ghosts, and definitely no Night Of The Sea Gulls. What there will be includes mime artists, weird pop songs, authoritarian logos, misunderstood film premises, stolen milk, a small army of puppets, and quite possibly a deep south ne'er-do-well jumping off the Tallahatchie Bridge.
Who would 'win' out of a snogging French couple and the Vitruvian Man? What's Helen Reddy's favourite Video Nasty? And why are all the scariest punks walking two dogs on a lead? Find out all of this and more in Part Onehere!
Part Two will follow on Friday... and here it is!
