Exploring Halloween’s Secret Christian History, Our Old Costumes, and Spooky Reads

It’s spooky season yet again! This year, we’re diving into the diverse European roots of Halloween, doing a fashion review of Cullen’s previous Halloween costumes, and deconstructing Hannah’s trauma with Christian haunted houses known as Hell Houses. Grab your cape, cat, and cauldron and join us for a lot of lore and even more reminiscing about Boston.
