On this very special All Hallows Spooky Saint Spectacular, we learn about the Saintly origins of Halloween and dive deep into the mysterious world of incorrupt Saints with writer and photographer Elizabeth Harper of All the Saints You Should Know, who has faced and photographed these Saintly relics in person around the world. From martyrs whose exquisite corpses never decompose to the bejeweled skeletal remains of the catacomb Saints, we explore the uncanny valley of Saints who exist in a spiritual world somewhere between life and death.

Christian also makes his Halloween pitch for our listeners to check out Midnight Mass on Netflix for some high-end Catholic horror from director Mike Flanagan and his wife Kate Siegel.
