Halloween House

Chris Gethard
About this episode

It's spooky season here at Beautiful/Anonymous, and we're kicking things off with a caller whose house became the Halloween House in his neighborhood. He and Gethard bond over their shared love of all things Halloween, but most especially going way too big on lawn decorations. Then, the call takes a turn for the genuinely scary as the two discuss some of the most unsettling things they've encountered in real life.
