Halloween is this weekend, so how about a spooky new podcast?

Ghouls and goblins are all about, and one classic TV series that had lots of spooky things was Rod Serling's "The Twilight Zone," originally airing decades ago in black-and-white and remade a few times over the years, though not quite to the glistening splendor of the original.
