A franchise podcast for the Horror Completionist. Hosts James Strayer and John C Meyers talk and analyze their way film by film through horror's longest running franchises. How do they evolve? What do new filmmakers bring when a franchise is several films deep? Usually, they start out great but perhaps 6- 8 entries in... they start to hurt a bit. Music by Michael Arthur Holloway and logo by Ethan Kimberling.

Basket Case
We go from classy to grimey in Frank Henenlotter's "Basket Case". We love this one in all of its early 80s grindhouse New York glory. Who doesn't love that little guy, Belial. Well, ok... I understand if not.
Customer Reviews
Great horror podcast
I am more of a casual horror fan, so I enjoy hearing about the extended franchises that I probably won’t ever actually watch. Episodes are full of fun behind the scenes details about production, which is always a plus for me. It’s like chatting with your friends over beers about favorite movies.
But really I’m here to say yes to more Twin Peaks episodes! I am a die hard fan and ready for more.
Fun for horror fans
I’d been looking for a good horror movie podcast for a while, and this one finally scratched that itch. These guys have good chemistry and are really easy to listen to for hours on end.
Awesome
A really entertaining and knowledgeable podcast about horror films. So great hearing the Hollywood Theatre in Portland being mentioned. I immediately followed show after listening to 3rd ep about Friday part 3D!
