It’s a Halloween variety show, Open Pike style! 🎃First, the crew beams down to discuss Star Trek: The Original Series classic “Catspaw”—a spooky, campy delight filled with cobwebs, castles, and that darn cat. Not to mention one of the best puns in Star Trek history!Then, Strange New Worlds writers Alan B. McElroy (“Terrarium”) and Kathryn Lyn (“What is Starfleet”) return for a Horror Trope Roundtable! We each share our favorite: Zombies, Horror Icons, Survivors, Endings, and Unsung Gems. Plus we talk The Shining trauma, loving happy endings (but never picking them), movie swaps with new partners, casting regrets, and first spec scripts.  Send your voice hail to OPN Email your call to
