Spooky season has arrived on SpitTake Podcast! Adam, Alex, and Stef talk ghosts, strange encounters at a Chicago Bears game, and the twisted world of American Horror Story.

Stef shares a stadium story involving suspiciously heavy winter coats on a warm day, sending the conversation into public paranoia and the question: “Is anyone else seeing this?” Then, the crew tackles American Horror Story’s returning characters, connections to Coven and Freak Show, bizarre resurrection plots, and whether revisiting old storylines makes the horror better—or just more confusing.

Expect Halloween banter, horror TV debates, football stories, and plenty of laughs along the way.

The Backrooms turns internet nightmares into movie material—but does it live up to the hype? This week on SpitTake Podcast, Adam, Alex, and Stef dive into the psychological horror film, debating its creepy atmosphere, unsettling monster, and whether the slow burn pays off—or loses Stef before the good stuff happens.

The conversation spirals into Backrooms lore, creepypasta, simulation theory, and the Mandela Effect. Are we remembering things wrong, or did somebody change the timeline? Plus, Stef shares stories from a Tennessee mountain wedding where narrow roads, bears, and mysterious knocks provided their own horror experience.

Then we break down Lanterns, exploring Hal Jordan and John Stewart’s complicated relationship, the “Halogram,” Sinestro theories, and what might be coming next for the Green Lantern story. We also debate Supergirl, James Gunn’s DCU, and whether Marvel’s theatrical rereleases are turning movies into paid DLC.

With Halloween approaching, we preview our month of horror coverage, talk American Horror Story favorites and season 13 expectations, and share our excitement for Practical Magic 2 and Verity. Expect movie reviews, superhero theories, spooky-season plans, and plenty of questionable takes.
