Seymour's Rob Caprilozzi talks about his new documentary, 'Halloween in a Box," which will be available on streaming platforms such as Amazon and Google Play on Oct. 1.
The doc is about the companies behind those old-school plastic Halloween costumes, and how the Tylenol poisonings of 1982 almost canceled Halloween and nearly destroyed an industry.
Rob and his wife, Christine, own Horror News Network and organize the annual CT Horror Fest.
This episode is sponsored by ValleyGivesBack.org.
