Hey Sleepless! So if you’ve been following the blog for the last week, you’ll know I’m deep in a forest in the Carpathian mountains, hunting down some kind of pig-based creature that my guide, Danny, was going to show me. Well, there’s been a temporary setback, hence the absence of a blog on Tuesday.

He’s not some rando I just met, he’s my Transylvanian contact from back in my newspaper days. He’s never behaved like this before. It’s very odd.
Hello, Sleepless! Here it is, the big day! The day we've all been waiting for. The ghouls, the specters, the undead, the people who love the things that go bump in the night. Today is Halloween, the day when us horror fans can let our fear flag fly. Whether you're carving and displaying pumpkins or placing skeletons in your garden, this is your day. It's like Christmas, but with more dismembered body parts and blood. And without the presents.
We should do that, actually. Pioneer Halloween gift-giving. It'd be awesome if we exchanged gifts like we do at Christmas, but they were all horror-themed! 'What's in the box?' Oh it's a severed head! Next year, let's do a Secret Satan for Halloween!
Moving on, IT'S HALLOWEEN! So naturally, we at The NoSleep Podcast have a lot of cool things for you. The big one, of course, is
