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!
