  This episode is sponsored by Wildwood. From Laika, the studio behind Coraline, comes a new epic fantasy adventure. And at the heart of Wildwood is a simple question: How far would you go for someone you love? Wildwood is a handcrafted epic fantasy adventure that transports audiences into a secret, magical, and dangerously alive world just beyond their doorstep. At its heart is the story of a courageous girl, Prue McKeel, on a desperate mission to rescue her baby brother from a forbidden forest filled with enchanted creatures, endearing allies, and formidable adversaries. Her journey unfolds in a spectacular, high-stakes adventure where the fate of an entire hidden world hangs in the balance.

  The film features vocal performances from Carey Mulligan, Mahershala Ali, and Angela Bassett. And I have to tell you, folks, I have seen the trailer for this film so many times, and I cannot wait to park my butt in a seat and experience this adventure. Wildwood is in theaters everywhere October 23rd, and tickets are on sale right now.

  Hey folks, Aaron here. Welcome back to another edition of Deeper Lore. In this bonus episode, I'll dig into our archive of over 11 years of topics and point out some old episodes that fit nicely with this week's newest. The hope is that you can keep the spooky feeling going topically into the weekend, putting a handful of episodes into a new, more powerful context. So, let's get started. This week for Lore 313: Tall, Tall Tales, we climb all over the folklore that's grown up at the foot of Mount Shasta. Pretty incredible how one specific location can have so many stories to tell. But it's not the first time that we've discussed Tales from the Wilderness, so here are three older episodes that should pair up nicely with this week's new one.

  First up, Episode 7: In the Woods. This collection of stories from the first few months of Lore is all about the folklore of the Bridgewater Triangle. Not only are they some of my favorite stories, but they also went on to inspire me to create Bridgewater, the audio fiction series that came out for two seasons a few years ago, which, if you're a fan of that show, is in development right now for television. Do yourself a favor and listen to Lore Episode 7 to hear where it all began. Next, download Episode 67: The Redcoats. One thing people are really good at doing in the wilderness is getting lost. So, this episode zeroes in on another powerful mountain, this one in New England, with its fair share of strange tales and going-ons.

  I think that you're gonna love this one, so do check it out. And finally, there's Episode 101: Worn Away. I can't think of another stretch of American wilderness with more legends running around than Skinwalker Ranch. Maybe you've heard of it and wondered what all the fuss was about? Well, here's your chance to find out. Give it a listen and thank me later. And there you go, folks. Follow up this week's brand-new episode with a trip into the past. Episodes 7, 67, and 101 are waiting for you in this podcast feed. You can just scroll through your app to find them, or you can tap on their direct links in the description for this episode.
