21. The Mummy (1932): He's Got On a Caftan and He's Very Dry
With just enough time for one more spooooky Halloween episode, we're busting open Imhotep's tomb to cover The Mummy (1932). Join us as we discuss the film's roots in the Egyptomania craze of 19th and early-20th centuries, its place as a lesser entry in the Universal horror canon, and whether or not we think Boris Karloff pissed his pants. Webbys do not interact!

20. Cat People (1942): Baby Porky's Big Fat Move
In this, the spookiest of seasons, we emerge from the shadows to discuss the RKO horror classic Cat People (1942). Topics include Val Lewton and Jacques Tourneur locking eyes across a crowded room, the mysterious world of Serbian stews, and a little too much about Lionel Atwill's extracurriculars. Irena did nothing wrong!
