It’s episode 90 and the Sinister Sisters are wrapping up the longest season one ever the only way they know how. With a Halloween-esque episode! Group there it is! In today’s group episode, Sarah puts a spell on us as she dives into the history of Halloween, Morgan grabs a Take 5 as she covers some current Halloween traditions and how they came about, and Erin clears up the misconception that Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is related to Halloween and explains how the Mexican holiday is far from spooky. How in are you? Samhain.
