This is the podcast you’ve been looking for!

Where do I even start? I’m a fan of Welcome To Nightvale, so when I heard Cecil and Jeffrey also have a horror movie podcast where they have an awesome, random way of picking the movie they watch and the podcast is them talking you through it, it’s only natural I immediately downloaded it and binged all 130 something episodes—at the time—until I was caught up…and then listened to them again…and listened to them again…and became a Patreon member so I can watch the monthly zoom episodes they do only for Patreon members…it’s bad y’all. Lol. This is definitely the best Horror Movie Podcast I’ve ever heard. The format is great. The breakdown is awesome. The occasional guests are knowledgeable and funny. What more can I say? Ooh I know!!! Follow this show now! And to Cecil and Jeffrey: if y’all ever need an intern or have any kind of position that needs filling remotely, holler at your boy over here!!!

New horror fan

Horror has been something I’ve avoided for a while, partly due to squeamishness and partly because I didn’t think horror was worthwhile, but this podcast is a great dive into what makes horror great and really helped me appreciate a genre I hadn’t really given much thought about.

Great for ppl who are horror film averse

I am too much of a scaredy-cat to watch horror movies — I had to sleep with the lights on for a month after watching the Blair Witch Project — but I am fascinated by them. This podcast is perfect for me and it stars two of my favorite podcasters.
