Horror Movie Survival Guide is a weekly podcast where two long time chums (and unlikely gorehounds) watch and talk about horror films from a survival point of view. We ask the question - how can *we* end up as the final girl? Join Julia Marchese and Teri Gamble as we take a deep dive into everything from OG horror to newly released films (but preferably classics on VHS). We'll talk about obscure details that no one else notices, spin off into alternate casting universes, crush on some foxy, dodgy fellows (and creepy uncles), and arm ourselves with the knowledge necessary to become The Final Girl!

Miss Pod! ,

Excellent and fun

Like listening to your friends chatting about horror, and they go through the plots which I love. Relaxing listening too for bedtime for horror fans :) like getting a story read for you! These girls are fun and clever and have inside scoops on film stuff.

Final Girls

Really a fun podcast, the two hosts not only know their stuff, they are genuinely enthusiastic and witty.

Each week our ultimate Final Girls discuss a horror classic from the days of VHS (warning: they give aaay the entire plot) with affection and humour. They offer tips on how to surive everything from zombie attacks to possessed children and rate the films in terms of gore and quality.

If you enjoy podcasts like "Inside Psycho" or "Halloween Unmasked" or "The Film Flamers" you'll enjoy this.
