Episode Conclusion

Did you survive until the army showed up? I hope so. I hate for your friends to have to put you down due to a little bite.

Was there a zombie movie I missed? I know a lot of these has endless sequels, so I tried to avoid as many of those as possible. If you’re dead set that I should have covered one in particular, let me know.

Next week, we leave Halloween behind for a trio of differently themed episodes. Here’s a clue:

What war began in 1950 and ended in stalemate in 1953?

We’re leaving movies behind and diving into history. I think all three of the next episodes were requested at one point or another. See you back here next Wednesday.

This was episode 248 of the Dorky Geeky Nerdy Trivia Podcast.

The theme music was provided by Jason Shaw of Audionautix.com.
