On this year’s Halloween Special, Zach Anner co-hosts with Jordan as Wheelchair Batman, and our old friend Vlad the Vampire drops in to discuss being undead in quarantine. Then Lisa Morton, author of “Trick or Treat: A History of Halloween” and “Calling the Spirits: A History of Seances,” stops by to teach us the spooky origins of trick-or-treating, witches, and jack-o-lanterns. Also the fascinating and hilarious beginnings of seances, and the magicians who spent their lives debunking them.
