The drinks are strong, the costumes are ridiculous, and our tolerance for scary movies is basically zero. 🎃🍸

Episode 35 is our second Straight Up. Extra Dirty. Halloween special, and we’re celebrating dressed as peanut butter and jelly—with Vampire’s Kiss cocktails, spicy chicken satay, and homemade PB&J sliders.

Between bites, we revisit the horror movies that left a lasting impression: The Exorcist, Friday the 13th, Halloween, and a childhood viewing of Jaws that made even bath time feel dangerous. Add a fear of clowns, some questionable horror movie surviv...
