Description
This week we chat with writer and podcaster Christine Makepeace! We chat about her writing and her horror history, but then we dig into the two episode arc that scarred a generation: Punky Brewster's Halloween two-episode horror spree "The Perils of Punky." We chat giant spiders, demonic ghosts, children in walls and how IT totally stole from it. And of course why the episodes scarred not only a generation of children, but Christine in particular. Oh and she gives us a crash course on the show because your hosts had never seen a single episode of it. Follow Christine on Twitter.
