Dusty Farts – Episodes 12 & 13: Booth or Treat — A Maple Grove Spooktacular Special

Release Date: October 2025 Runtime: ~32 minutes Audio Format: Immersive fiction – comedy, Americana, absurdity Recommended Listening: Stereo headphones for full spooktacular immersion Episode Summary It’s Halloween in Maple Grove, and John (Dusty) and Fred (Farts) are back with their most haunting booth yet — the legendary Booth of Doom, fashioned from a borrowed funeral hearse and two discount coffins. Between plastic cobwebs, questionable formaldehyde fumes, and Clifford Booth’s official booth inspection, the town’s annual Trunk or Treat contest descends into a perfect storm of sugar, sarcasm, and suspicious snacks. Hope narrates as the boys judge costumes gone wild — from Dr. Bobby’s “anatomically accurate” heart display to Aria’s pumpkin-spice rampage and Dr. Fritz’s miniature therapy machine. Just as the night seems lost to glitter and caffeine vapors, Curtis arrives and … well, tune in to find out! Clifford accidentally delivers the most ironic moment in Maple Grove history — and the boys prove that no holiday is safe from their booth-based nonsense. Voices You’ll Hear • John (Dusty) – grumpy booth architect and seasonal decorator with trust issues around glitter • Fred (Farts) – cider brewer, coffin carpenter, and self-appointed booth engineer • Hope – narrator and weary witness to Maple Grove’s holiday madness • Aria – Pumpkin Nickle Spice Fairy and chaos in polyester form • Dr. Bobby – blood-bus hero turned walking biohazard • Dr. Fritz (Dr. Freudy Enslip) – returning therapist in “Mini Freudy” mode with fun-sized trauma analysis • Curtis – mad inventor • Clifford Booth – referee, booth commissioner, and unwitting star of the night Sound Stage • Maple Gump Park – Trunk or Treat Festival: gravel crunches, laughing kids, howling winds, and booth setups in a haunted parking lot. • The Booth of Doom: creaking coffins, bubbling cauldrons, plastic bats, and Fred’s murky jug of “experimental cider.” Sound & Style Immersive stereo mix with seasonal ambience, harmonica stings, and spooky banjo licks. Americana warmth meets Halloween camp — equal parts ghost-story and county-fair parade. Expect pumpkin-spice shakers, squirrel roars, and the occasional formal-referee whistle of doom. For New Listeners Start with Episode 1 to learn how booths, bacon, and burnt coffee became sacred traditions in Maple Grove. But if you like your laughter haunted and your coffee questionable, this Halloween special stands beautifully (and chaotically) on its own. Credits Written, scored, and produced by Brian Clark — brewed with screen-reader wizardry, a microphone, and a cauldron of burnt coffee and bad decisions.
