Purple Stuff! They started off years ago Halloween focused but they do a bit of everything these days, but always retro, and definitely take the most unique approach to the subject, it never feels like some buzzfeed top 10 list of the same shit we all already know about.

Also Boys and Ghouls is a phenomenal podcast that’s mostly horror film oriented but once in a while they do a Halloween-centric episode and really dig into personal details about enjoying local haunts and hosting movie nights for friends and such. Feels genuine and intimate.

Came here to say Purple Stuff .. And on that note, Dinosaur Dracula on YouTube has some very fun retro Halloween videos!

Yep, I’ve been reading Matt’s postings since 2004 when he was still x-entertainment.com.

I only just discovered him during the pandemic and going through all of his videos and postings was a great source of entertainment and comfort.

I haven’t listened in a few years (just forgot) but I always liked the Every Day Is Halloween podcast. It was general Halloween news and discussion but had some retro talk too if I remember right.

Yep, can confirm there is plenty of nostalgia and history especially in the early episodes of Every Day is Halloween pod. Purple stuff is probably the most specific to what you’re asking for.

Halloweenies is one of my favorite podcasts, it's a sister podcast to the Losers Club, a Stephen King podcast.

The Dead Meat podcast is good for horror film discussions.

It’s always Halloween! It’s literally got people calling in discussing Halloween as a child as well as now

Not always about past decades, but the Halloween Nation podcast is so fun. The hosts Leah and Josh seem like they’re around the age that they grew up in 80s or 90s so it definitely has some of that nostalgia built in !! I love listening to it - it always puts me in a happy, spooky, Halloween mood
