So...I've had to recreate this episode multiple times and move it because every time I recorded "The Actor" my machine would crash. It isn't the site the story is on becuase the text I use is on an iPad so you don't hear clicks. It's just totally creepy. I finally got around it but wow! I've recorded many other things this week and this was the only one crashing.TranscriptGood evening, it’s Spooky Boo coming to you from the radio waves from the KSND radio station, The Sound of the Sea. Tonight I have for you several creepy Halloween stories for the 12th of October.

The creator and director of this awesomely over the top cult horror comedy, Jackie Kong, has come out with Kong Comics and you could be in the very first edition “Spend the Night.” Details on her page at jackiekongdirector.com. Do it soon, it closes at the end of October.By the way, I will be the guest on Creature Features on the 16th of this month. I’ll tell you how to tune in at the end of the show.Now let’s begin.
Always Check the Candyby MarkRalstonAlways check your children’s Halloween candy. Always.I’m not saying this to fearmonger. To tell you the truth, I realize that most of the candy handed out on the holiday is likely purchased at Walmart the day before and shoved into a plastic pumpkin-shaped bowl.You probably have realized that most…sane people don’t poison candy, or put glass in it, or whatever cautionary urban legend you’ve heard. The only guy who did do that…did so to his own son. So those neighbors of yours…don’t treat them like criminals. They’re just trying to innocently give the kiddos some sweets.This warning regards a phenomenon that has no apparent origin. What I mean is, no one is really sure of where it comes from. The candy in question isn’t even so. You can’t purchase it at any stores and looking it up online results in…no results.The candy, this aforementioned phenomenon, appears to be that of a cinnamon jawbreaker, not to be confused with the Atomic Fireball brand or any other similar sweet. It may resemble a red-tinted gumball or a red lollipop with no stick. The point being…it's rather generic in appearance, which makes it tricky to spot the real deal.The candy is sometimes branded under the H.H. Sweets company, a corporation that doesn’t exist, at least not one registered by any agency since 1999. If you search the internet, you might find some H.H. Sweets businesses…but I assure you, they aren’t the real deal…merely a namesake coincidence.If the label carries the H.H. name, beneath it a tagline will read something to the effect of, “Hot as Hell, Sweet as Heaven." Not all of the candies sport the branding, but it certainly helps to spot it. This is why I advise if you find yourself (or your kids) with an unmarked red candy…the safest bet is to throw the sucker away.Documentation of the phenomenon only dates back to 2007, but there is the possibility that it’s gone on for far longer. As of this recording, a known nine people have ingested the candy, four of which being children under the age of 18.Each case has happened on October 31st, with the most cases occurring during 2016…with a total of three victims. The only clues as to the candy’s appearance, and branding, is through the eyes of witnesses, and subsequent investigations of any nearby, and opened candy wrappers.Each of the victim’s corpses, aside from the he
