When I was a kid I was not very into anything remotely scary. I stayed away from Halloween, hid whenever certain episodes of the Twilight Zone came on, and most of all judged certain books by their covers if they looked scary.

Last week on the podcast the group discussed their guilty pleasures that many people may not share. While I had already written my post for that week by the time the podcast aired, I wanted to get in on this discussion.
