When a fearsome monster wants you dead

When terror fills your heart with dread

You’d best be wearing shoes with tread

Well, it’s not much of a Halloween show. We talk about Ghost peppers, bloodcurdling movies, and the dangers of the night shift but then we digress into Appalachian cancer rates, overactive bladder, and dementia. We don’t think you need to leave the lights on for this one.

Tip: Shoes with low heels, high tops that support the ankle, and tread on the soles (souls?) prevent falls.
