Happy Halloween

It's been a rough week but I didn't want to miss the chance to post some horror fan rantings while it's still relevant. I present to you: Mandie's Unofficial No Sleep Podcast awards.

BEST SEASON

Season 12. If you're going to spring for a season pass for one season, go for this one.

MY FAVORITE 

Eggs. Why is it my favorite? I don't know. Why does no one recognize it as the best thing to happen to American literature in the past century? I don't know that, either.

THE BEST OVERALL

The Other Side of the Door. This is a subscription-only story, so you'll have to pay $1.99 to listen. Acted out as a radio play rather than told as a story, this had me sitting on the edge of my bed, wanting to yell at Addison to open the door ... or to not open the door? I was as torn as the main character until it finally became devastatingly clear what was happening.

THE BEST STORY

Day 416. Four women wake up day after day in their spacecraft, their memories wiped. They know that one of them is not human, but they don't know which one.

THE BEST ENDING

MJ Was Here. Maybe it's just me, but this ending chilled me more than any other in No Sleep history.

THE MOST DISTURBING

The Pancake Family. This one is infamous. Maybe not to a Russian Sleep Experiment or Bart's Dead level of creepypasta fame, but, it's pretty haunting.

THE BEST HOLIDAY EPISODE

Christmas 2018. Five really solid stories, with a fun framing device where the voice actors are elves listening to Mrs. Claus tell stories while they wait for Santa to come home so they can make fruitcake. And there's some payoff there. You find out the secret ingredient in the fruitcake.
