The hosts are just right

It’s refreshing to listen to a podcast where the hosts sound natural and authentic. This podcast is intelligent but not overly academic and dry. Rebekah is awesome and hilarious.

Absolutely Love!

I’m always excited to see a new episode of this show pop up! It’s helped me hear about movies I never knew I needed to watch and is a must-listen for horror fans. Thank you Elric and Rebekah!

The best horror podcast out there

I love this podcast so much I subscribed to the Patreon deep cuts so I can get more. I’ve now gone back and listened to every episode of both the pod and deep cuts. Love our co-hosts and all of the horror finds that I have discovered through them.
