"This is what happens when we cancel Comic Con. No, this is what happens for these nerves to go. They need an outlet. They need an outlet." — Henry Zebrowski (discussing the ninja incident)
The hosts open the episode with a discussion about the start of Halloween season and the perennial debate surrounding the classification of "The Nightmare Before Christmas" as a holiday film. They then transition into a series of unsettling true crime stories. One notable tale recounts a man in Turkey who, after drinking heavily, joined the search party organized to find him. This is contrasted with a more sinister case of a nurse who murdered a fellow nurse and then actively participated in the search for the victim's body. The episode also features a discussion about a man in Denmark who sold blank canvases for a substantial sum, framing it as a commentary on the economic disparity in the art world. Further dark narratives include a confession of murder and dismemberment in Chicago, and the investigation into a notorious French serial killer known as "The Pockmark Faced Man." Interspersed with these stories are discussions on cryptids, including "cryptid weasels" and a sighting of a small, jetpack-wearing figure with oversized features. The hosts also touch upon the mythology surrounding ninjas and the unusual incident of a man in ninja attire attacking a US Army special operations unit. Finally, the episode concludes with listener-submitted spooky stories and a heartwarming account of a dog named Dewey being rescued from a deep cave.
