About this episode

This Foggy Oak Scary Tale idea comes from my nephew Brody, with help from his cousins, who wondered what would happen if kids accidentally played a seemingly harmless arcade game that combined the “be careful what you wish for” fortune telling from the movie Big with the unwilling transportation to a foreign location of Jumanji. What do you get? An evil claw machine! 

This story ended up being three parts long, so make sure to join us for parts 2 and 3!

Thanks as always to sister Lee Knight for the fabulously spooky version of our theme song during Foggy Oak Scary Tales season!
