Show Notes: S02, E07 - Night of the Problem-Solving Dummies

This week brings the first Agony Art Halloween Special! We're solving all our listeners' spookiest problems with the help of films, books and music so scary that you probably won't be able to hear us talking over the sound of your own screaming.

Here's all the art we recommended.

(Art we only mentioned in passing, and never intended as a problem-solving recommendation, is in italics.)
