I'm going to be honest with you: this episode is ok, but it would have been better if I'd had a guest cohost. Lord knows I tried, but although many people told me how much they love 1989's Teen Witch, nobody was willing to come on and talk about it with me! Is it such a guilty pleasure???
With a special intro from the film's star, Robyn Lively, tonight I'm rewatching Teen Witch for the first time in at least a decade. Does it hold up as the cult classic it's said to be? Why don't more people go crazy over little brother Richie's performance (it's masterful)? Was I Like Boys legit supposed to be a cheer? Who will be the most popular girl? And of course, did they ever top that?
All this and more on tonight's Spooky A S!

Tonight Eric welcomes his brother Dan Dwinnells back to the show as they talk about Devils and Demons. Sure, we all have a loose idea of what these evil creatures are and we're pretty sure we know who runs the show down in Hell...but it turns out the way most of us think of it is totally wrong! 
We'll dive into detail about the differences between THE Devil, devils and demons. Lucifer was the leader of the rebellion against God in Heaven. He is the number one fallen angel...but does that mean he is THE Devil? If so...who is Satan? Or Beelzebub? Tonight we'll get into all that plus discuss some of the better and lesser known members of the evil army. We'll also try to pick our patron devil!

Research for tonight's episode was pulled primarily from The Devil by Genevieve and Tom Morgan.

Enough about that Manson guy, let's take it easy on this episode! Tonight's episode was supposed to be a loving tribute to America's Horror Theme Park: Spooky World..but that did quite pan out so instead Eric Dwinnells and Brian Toney are hitting the road without a script to bring you the almost non-existent yet strangling intriguing story of Ponyhenge in Lincoln, Massachusetts. What is it? Toy ponies in a circle. Why is it? Good question!
​

We'll also travel to the haunted Longfellow's Wayside Inn of Sudbury, Massachusetts to learn about it's ghost, Jerusha! Her story is probably deserving of it's own episode, and maybe one day we'll get to it, but tonight you'll get the bare bones before we travel down the road to visit the famous schoolhouse that figures into the famous nursery rhyme, "Mary Had A Little Lamb". Oh yes, it's a true story...maybe. Eric and Brain learned way more than they ever wanted to know about this classic tail and they pass that knowledge on to you, Spookaroos!
