After being abducted by a child killer and locked in a soundproof basement, a 13-year-old boy starts hearing the killer's previous victims broadcast the world’s most dangerous podcast from a disconnected phone. Episode 521 of Trick or Treat Radio is the calm before the storm as we near our Ten Year Anniversary. We discuss The Black Phone from director Scott Derrickson based on a short story by Joe Hill! We also talk about growing up in a pre-internet age, the evolution of the killer, and what other foods we’d like to see get the uncrustables treatment! So grab a comedy or tragedy mask, avoid the black balloons, and strap on for the world's most dangerous podcast!
