Season of the Trilogy Episode One: Origins

It's October baby! You know what that means...Not PSLs, you basic-ass MFer!

It's time for The Occasionalists' monthlong celebration of all things spooky, The Fright Fest! We discuss why we changed the name of our annual festival of all things horror and discuss this year's format: The Trilogy!

Plus we unveil how we are going to attack the trilogy in the subsequent episodes this month. 

Let's get to it!
