The Horror Love!!!

I love, love, love the energy that is brought to the table with every episode. Tim and Matt have such love for horror, and it is felt in every moment. From interviews with beloved horror cast and crew from classics to their reviews of recent films, there’s truly never a dull second.

New Obsession

Whoever brought these two rib-tickling horror nerds together should be strung up and showered with bloody praise. Personal intimate interviews give further insight into the insane brutal wacky process of birthing horror classics and their gut-wrenching offspring.
The alternating film review offerings provide an enjoyable palette cleanser that fits your ears any time of day- you’ll forget to take your listening device off before showering...
After bingeing all episodes as if my life depended on it, I devoured the catalog of ‘Patron Bonus Eps’ to satisfy my daily thirst for haunting tales and trivia.
Newly recruited, obsessed and hungry for more!
