Halloween is one of our favorite times of year because well, we’re nerds and we love scary movies and costumes (especially those involved with our various fandoms). But this year, Halloween will also be a way to help with our continued healing from this pandemic by offering some fun escapism through activities like dressing up and watching movies. In this episode, our host Joe and co-host Lauren, chat about how they are using this Halloween season to have a little bit of a release from this past year. They talk a lot about costume planning, offer a Halloween costume challenge plus share how our favorite collection of NeuroNerds merch was inspired by Zombies.
