In the second half of the hallowgeeky special Christina summons her DS and talks about Scribblenauts. She gives an
example of a level, the crazy ways you can get through it, and some of the awesome easter eggs.

Jolly Rancher’s watermelon and green apple sodas make up our Geek Cuisine liquid refreshment. Are they as delicious as they sound? Oh, yes! We request our listeners to come up with a recipe for a Sonic Screwdriver.

The Halloweeny goodness continues with Baskin Robbins soft candies. We try a scoop of mint chocolate chip and a scoop of very berry strawberry. What goes horribly wrong with these? Who has got ninja reflexes, and who has got zombie reflexes? Who of us finds these candies tricks and not treats?

In closing, Christina poses the question to the boys, “What would you dress up as this year?”. Adam throws around the idea of zombie Billy Mays, and Throat Beard The Pirate. In reality, he’ll be going as Doctor (10) Who. Christina would be Sarah Jane Smith. Glenn and Brad decline to answer, and Christina suggests Sylvester McCoy for the latter. Glenn is just looking forward to going home to play Aion, and declines signing up for Champions. Adam thrills over the Halloween
episode of Castle, with its ultimate Firefly homage! Christina has spotted Morena Baccarin in viral ads online for “V”. Glenn reminds us to keep watching Supernatural!

Our scary songs this episode come from Insane Ian (featuring The Stacey) with “Umbrella Chronicles”, The Great Luke Ski with “Gory Gory Hallelujah”, Kim the Comic Book Goddess with “The Zombie Connection”, and Tom Smith with “When This Song Is Over You Will Die”.

Trick or Treat! The PodCulture Crew treats you to a pair of special holiday episodes!

Adam and Glenn are playing Flashpoint on the computer, before Glenn is lost in work for the holidays. The boys lament their jobs past on Black Friday. Adam has been on vacation, playing video games, rendering some animations, and catching up on television. He is loving the Left 4 Dead 2 demo. Christina’s massively in love with Scribblenauts (you can get a Halloween themed wallpaper on the Scribblenauts site!). Find out what her favorite ways to dispose of baddies are! Brad has been getting the apartment’s computers Windows 7′ed up! The guys theorize the most painless way for Glenn to upgrade his without losing all of his downloaded game content.

We bring you an entire ear of candy corn! There’s a quartet of Zachary brand gourmet candy corn. Find out which out of Apple Cider, Creme Brulee, Blackberry Cobbler and Pumpkin Pie made Brad wipe off his tongue. What tastes like a candle and what tastes like a log cabin? We were psychic without even knowing it. Those cinnamon fang candy corn we mentioned? When Christina found the links, she found that they are made by Zachary as well, and can be found on the site.

Christina straps on her apron and provides three variations of Geek Cuisine.She made pumpkin spice, vanilla pumpkin chocolate chip, and chocolate chocolate chip. Find out what Brad thinks, who dislikes all things cake, and what Adam thinks, who dislikes pumpkin. If you’d like the recipe Christina tweaked, e-mail her, and she’ll be glad to share!
While the guys enjoy, she shares a wicked story about her sister, and the tale of Karl The Rock.

Christina shares the iTunes Halloween tv sale news, as we open a spooky show segment. Glenn chooses John Carpenter’s The Thing as one of his favorite creepy movie. Christina loves Hocus Pocus, doing a throwback to Eerie, Indiana. Adam’s more into sci-fi than horror, and chooses Event Horizon as his spooky fave. Brad chooses the classic Prom Night, Carrie, Sleepaway Camp, and the Scream series. Christina’s two favorite creepiest tv show episodes are Buffy The Vampire Slayer’s “Hush” and Doctor Who’s “Blink”. Brad adds “Silence In The Library” to that spooky pile. He talks about the creep factor of some of the Sarah Jane Advenetures’ villains. Who can top The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown (or even the Robot Chicken variation)! What’s your favorite scary movie? Favorite horror movie? Would you rather be creeped out or
grossed out? Let us know!

Our scary soundtrack for this Halloween includes “Brains” by Settle For Second, “Ban Halloween” by Judge Clarkie, “PC Halloween” by Devo Spice and “Spring Heeled Jack” by Lemon Demon.
