The big event on Going Home was the world premiere of "Nicole Kidzman (Radio 1's Ghoul Remix)", a Halloween mash-up Vick and Katie had been cooking up with producer Sophie, featuring creaky-door and witch-cackle sound effects from Rachel Chinouriri, an owl from Matt and Mollie, a wolf howl from Emile Franchi, and listener-submitted spooky noises including a peacock from Johnny in Norwich. The reaction was immediate and brutal in places. "Turn it off, it's the worst thing ever," read one text, while another listener called it "frightening". Katie admitted "our singing was the worst bit of it," though plenty of fans defended the sound effects as genuinely good.

Jack Saunders dropped by and got played a clip cold, not realising his own recorded laugh had been used in the mix. Vick and Katie pitched the idea of him naming it his "spookiest record" on his show that night, but Jack politely declined, pointing out he'd already locked in his hottest record (Dive) and needed more notice for a new category altogether.

Ali Plumb returned for his Midweek Movie Game, this time matching film screams to titles, and Katie thrashed Vick 7-0, correctly naming Monsters Inc, Wicked, Jurassic Park and Toy Story in a row while Vick failed to buzz in with a single correct answer.
