If you’re at a loss to make plans for Halloween because, well, we’re kind of all at a loss to make plans for anything right now, might we suggest the Thrilling Adventure Hour Live’s special Halloween live-stream show, A Halloween Beyond Belief.

Two brand new, ghoulish, yet cool episodes lead off by the posh socialites/mediums Frank & Sadie Doyle (splendidly reprised once more by Paul F. Tompkins and Paget Brewster) will go live with the rest of the WorkJuice Players (Busy Philipps, Joshua Malina, Autumn Reeser, Annie Savage, Hal Lublin, Craig Cackowski, Janet Varney, Mark Gagliardi, and Marc Evan Jackson)

Thrilling Adventure Hour: A Halloween Beyond Belief is actually slated for Halloween night, 5PM PT/8PM ET and tickets are pay what you want, though $10 is suggested. Get your tickets here while you still can.

FYI, an archive of the live-stream will be available until Nov. 8th 9PM PT/midnight ET.

The beloved radio hour of the Thrilling Adventure Hour has popped up throughout this pandemic to do their classic show virtually (often raising plenty of money for charity) complete with the WorkJuice Players (Paul F. Tompkins, Paget Brewster, Busy Philipps, Joshua Malina, Janet Varney, Hal Lublin, Annie Savage, Craig Cackowski, Mark Gagliardi, and Marc Evan Jackson).

This weekend, Sat. Sept. 26th at 5PM PT/8PM ET, they’ll be returning for a very special performance of the Thrilling Adventure Hour where YOU get to pick which scripts they’ll be performing (in addition to having a post-show virtual cocktail hour). The only way to get to pick is to get tickets to the show of course, but they’re even offering you to name your price (though $10 is suggested).

Go snag your tickets before they sell out here.

One of the original and go to narrators for Drunk History is Mark Gagliardi. Thus, what would this latest season be without him attempting to recount an oft-overlooked annal in history if not incomplete. 

Mark sure came through with the story of Bass Reeves, a man of such Wild West legend that a fictitious legend was based off of him, as well as professions of love, lying face down on the floor, etc. 

Watch it all in its Drunk History glory here.
