Maybe it's fitting that for our Halloween show Vancouver Whitecaps and Seattle Sounders served up a horrific game of football at BC Place on Sunday night.
We pick over the dead carcass of that match, talk about the very brief highlights and standout players, and hear from both head coaches, Carl Robinson and Brian Schmetzer.
With that first leg thankfully laid to rest, we look ahead to part two on Thursday. How will both teams set up? Can it get any worse than Sunday? And do the 'Caps have a realistic chance of doing the business once again on the road when no-one expects it?
And to lighten the mood, Pa Modou Kah recites Vincent Price's part from Michael Jackson's "Thriller", Jake Nerwinksi talks favourite Halloween costumes, and James make a very welcome return to our Wavelength feature.
