The Castle team did TWO Halloween episodes this week because we're so in the spirit– the first is a shorter episode on a very strange curio you may have heard of: the aired-once, now-available-for-streaming 1976 Paul Lynde Halloween Special.

Castle of Horror: Paul Lynde Halloween Special, Torturous Ordeal OR A RevelationCastle of Horror: Paul Lynde Halloween Special, Torturous Ordeal OR A Revelation

Paul Lynde was a familiar face on TV in the mid-century and someone who traded heavily on the tension of his in-the-closet-out-of-the-closetness. His Halloween Special is a grab bag of pop culture relevance. We have bits from rock band KISS freshly on the scene, Florence Henderson of The Brady Bunch, Tim Conway, Roz Kelly of Happy Days, Billie Hayes and Billy Barty of the Krofft shows HR Pufnstuf and Dr. Shrinker, Margaret Hamilton in her Wizard of Oz Wicked Witch makeup for the first time since 1938. All this plus great sets and terrible, terrible jokes. We try to make sense of this show.
