Halloween

In this week's special Halloween episode of HappenedHere, hosted by Greg Nicotero, we tell a moving story about ghosts and spirits on a Samhain night in Ireland two thousand years ago, a story based on real events about school children and vampire hunting in Glasgow in the 1950’s and the true story of the creation of THAT mask from John Carpenter’s first Halloween movie.
