I have been watching horror movies ever since I was little. I grew up in a Chicago suburb and the television stations played horror movies Fridays, Saturdays and occasionally Sundays in the late 70’s and early 80’s. I’ve always loved horror movies (especially 80’s slashers and vampires). and reviews of them. (I used to buy Leonard Maltins annual review books every year). There was a 70”s proto slasher called “Blood and Lace” that I saw in those days that stuck with me. I did a YouTube search of that title with podcast and discovered this wonderful horror movie podcast.
Originally it was Dave, Christian and Brandon. Brandon (as funny, charismatic and intelligent as the others) sadly left a year or so ago (but fortunately sporadically stops by). As for Dave and Christian, they are extremely qualified to host this highly entertaining show. I’ve listened to many horror podcasts : I’ve stopped listening to some after 15 minutes because the hosts were dumb and/or boring. That has never been the case with this show. Both hosts have great knowledge of history of horror as well as the movies and their directors, cast and crew. If you enjoy horror franchises, they are also knowledgeable and informative. They both have great insights and theories too (for example, one believed it was Jason that called to Brenda in the original “Friday the 13th “ - I never considered that but I think he’s right). Finally, they are both very likable and funny too. Their rapport is that of two longtime friends or brothers. Occasionally, they will randomly drop movie quotes in their own silly way or create and sing funny songs relating to the movies.
To reiterate, I have listened to many horror podcasts and this is, by far, the most enjoyable. They have over 200 episodes here and on YouTube. I am subscribed to them on YouTube and Facebook. Please give them a listen - I very highly recommend.
