This week, it’s a rerun of a classic spooky episode (82)! Please join Abigail and returning guest (menace) Vee to discuss THE GHOST AND MRS. MUIR! Is it Abigail’s favorite movie of all time? Yes. Is it also a book almost no one knows about, apparently? Also yes. Is the hero the salty, salty ghost of a swarthy sea captain? YOU BETCHA. Discussion topics include seaman puns, when it’s okay for a hero to rename a heroine (almost never), book to screen adaptations, and a demon’s ability to possess a swarm of bugs.
