On a special Halloween episode, North Texas author, 'monster hunter' and UFO expert Nick Redfern discusses the mysteries lurking around Dallas and beyond, including his take on a UFO photographed over Turtle Creek Blvd. Next, scary movies. We love them and so does Dallas Morning News staffer Dawn Burkes, who joins us to talk about the very best ones. Plus, we give our personal recommendations. Finally, we share a few of our own true ghost stories (Lauren Smart's tale is a genuine chiller) and have a roundtable discussion about the culture and commercialization of Halloween, from costumes and candy to tricks and treats.
On our weekly touts, Chris Vognar recommends the documentary The American Nightmare. Lauren Smart is loving the new sculpture exhibit by artist Lily Hanson, "The Once Over Twice," at Conduit Gallery. Christopher Wynn is weirdly fascinated by "The 17 Creepiest Audio Recordings Ever Made" and touts the British band Hot Chip's cover of the Springsteen classic, "Dancing in the Dark." Dawn Burkes is a fan of We Heart Art. Nick Redfern is all about the new season of The Walking Dead on AMC.
