🧛🏻 It's the time of year for macabre Hallowe'en decorations, rewatching "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown," and of course... The undead! On this spooky episode, cohosts Jonas and François give Grady Hendrix's 2020 novel "The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires" the Apples to Giraffes book club treatment, discussing how this modern horror tale, that invites an undead bloodsucker to a suburban 1990s neighborhood, might be brought to the screen. What challenges would a filmmaker face with this often funny, often gory horror novel? We also talk about our personal Hallowe'en traditions and we wrap up the episode with some seasonally-appropriate plugs, including  the source material for a much-beloved Studio Ghibli movie. 🐈‍⬛
