Spooky Season has arrived and Episode 214 is delivering all sorts of creepy and fun Gen-X nostalgia.

It starts with one of the OG's of spooky TV shows. In Search Of, hosted by Leonard Nimoy, shone a light on the supernatural, mysteries, oddities, and true crime. Starting in the late 1970s it scarred kids while also providing hours of entertainment. We'll dive into an overview of the show.

Halloween and The Simpsons go hand in hand. This is because of the decades' worth of classic Treehouse of Horror episodes. Filled with dark, but still funny, stories, these shows made people laugh and sometimes scream. Get ready for a fun trip down memory lane that still goes on to this day.

The first spooky Top 5 of October will take a look at some of the most well-known urban legends of the 1970s. How many do you remember?

There will be a new This Week In History and Time Capsule looking at the iconic Thrilla In Manila boxing match between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier.
