Dr. Thomas Vaughn is communication professor, colleague and friend.  He's spent a lot of time studying the world of cults and apocalyptic rhetoric.  When Tom isn't teaching, he's writing horror stories and has a new book coming out soon.  I decided to bring him onboard for this year's spooky Halloween episode where we talk about all of this, plus at the end I read one of his short stories, "Deleted Scenes."  It's not for the faint of heart so ye be warned.
