Horror Movie Survival Guide is a weekly podcast where two long time chums (and unlikely gorehounds) watch and talk about horror films from a survival point of view. We ask the question - how can *we* end up as the final girl? Join Julia Marchese and Teri Gamble as we take a deep dive into everything from OG horror to newly released films (but preferably classics on VHS). We'll talk about obscure details that no one else notices, spin off into alternate casting universes, crush on some foxy, dodgy fellows (and creepy uncles), and arm ourselves with the knowledge necessary to become The Final Girl!

Twenty episodes in

Twenty episodes in, enjoying the length of the podcast. The hosts clearly enjoy the subject matter which makes this old gore hound happy. They have covered a good range of films and the upcoming episodes look to cover even more.

I remember clearing horror shelves at my local video store and keeping records myself. So, listen they are having a bunch of fun and you can join in.
