I laughed so hard during this episode, I have a vine (not pumpkins) that I do battle with every year. I feel poor Ada’s frustration
2022-09-27 10:51:37 +0000 UTCOh, this makes me love all y’all so much! I am always so upset when horror writers kill off the pets!
2022-08-15 01:28:06 +0000 UTCThis cracked me up so much! Pumpkins. Evil pumpkins!

2021-11-06 16:47:50 +0000 UTCWow. I am about to go clear my garden for the winter, and I'm going to be SO careful about where I throw things. But seriously - not only is this an incredibly, creative, horror piece, it does such a great job of characterization in such a short time. You all are the MASTERS of characterization in horror! (And thanks for not killing off the kitty.)
2021-11-06 15:23:25 +0000 UTCOh my gosh. This is maybe the sixth listen and every time it gets creepier and more vivid. So good, Cam.

2021-11-03 15:02:42 +0000 UTCI listened to this while watering my plants that are slowly taking over my living room. Maybe I won’t add fertilizer this month.

2021-11-01 12:17:55 +0000 UTCThis has such a sound and cadence of a Magnus archives statement and I love it
