We go to Noa's hometown of Abilene, Texas, and hang out with the cult that freaked out the FBI, until Waco and Heaven's Gate ended badly and these folks just continued to do their (bad) thing and advocate for world peace (in a bad way also??).

The last of the Halloween-centric episodes and it's all about the money made

Noa is back to ruin your day with her horribly detailed dive into American Halloween and its origins, symbols, celebrations, costumes, culture, and religious implications. Trick or Treating! World War Two! Candy Corn! also Noa wants you to know that she was a zombie in a corn maze in high school. She did it once and mentions it briefly in this episode but consider it! Also: are we team Anoka or team Salem? Discuss.    Source: https://books.google.com/books/about/Trick_Or_Treat.html?id=h6vDoVs5aioC&source=kp_book_description Music: Spy Glass by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/4410-spy-glass License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
