Completely Conspicuous

Part 1 of my conversation with guest Matt Phillion as we discuss Halloween and horror flicks. I've also got the Bonehead of the Week and music from Dead Meadow, The Cloud Room and The Beatings. Show notes: - Salem, Mass., is Halloween Central - Just a straight-out fun holiday - Can be frustrating for those who live in Salem - Old-school newspaper pro-tip: Keep booze in yer desk - "Write drunk, edit sober" - As a kid, Matt was excited to dress up on Halloween - Jay: All about the candy - In NH, rural location meant we didn't have trick-or-treaters - Don't get that many now - Matt's costumes over the years: Robin, Julius Caesar - Jay: Moses, Don King, Bootsy Collins - Matt has a Batman mask this year - When kids are scared of your costume - Enjoyed Halloween more as an adult - The Lunchlady and the Flasher - Scary movies are fun - Matt: Blair Witch had a great gimmick, not a great story - So much more scary watching movies by yourself - Matt: The Saw movies are terrible, but creepy - Zombie movies ar
