Description: The Grinch at Halloween? Meghan says absolutely. Lyle has… objections. In 1977, Dr. Seuss brought the Grinch back to television for Halloween Is Grinch Night, a wonderfully strange special that has been part of Meghan’s Halloween season since childhood. For this episode, Lyle watched it for the first time — and the 2 hosts came away with very different opinions about what they had just seen. Meghan makes the case for sour-sweet winds, monsters, eerie atmosphere and one completely unhinged Paraphernalia Wagon. Lyle has some thoughts of his own. Is this an overlooked Halloween gem, or does Meghan have several decades of nostalgia working against her? Listen to the debate, then weigh in: Does Halloween Is Grinch Night actually count as Halloween? 49 days until Halloween!
