podcast nørden ,

From a Danish fan.

It’s great that old classics, current cinema films and various themes are delved into.

delightfully nerdy, with cool guests, who all give their personal and professional take on the genre.

I love that it is filled with interesting behind the scene knowledge, and a good dose of humor.

Keep up the good work!

Q fra stenbroen ,

Horror/thriller/movie treat

Great host and guests have really lively and interesting discussions. Selection of films is huge and varied from Rosemary's Baby to The Blob - sorted under relevant themes. Recommended!

andreashhp ,

In-depth, geeky horror stuff!

To all horror addicts and genre film fans alike, this is the perfect podcast! The host is great, the guests are great and the movies are amazing. I love the trip down memory lane, as I am guided through the crazy and exciting history of slashers, ghost movies, folk horror and other stuff. It is a treat and I highly recommend it!
