Horrifically Fun!

I just love hearing from my Hottie of Horror and the Cinephile extraordinaire. So many movies that I wouldn’t have watched before have now become favorites. I can’t wait to hear what other movies these guys have in store!

Another great horror movie podcast!

I found this podcast because of my love for the morbid and scream! Podcast . I love horror movies, and this one falls flat, even though I really wanted and tried for a while to love it. Freddy at times can be just straight insulting to people who are in the films when he doesn’t know their names (thank you John for knowing their names ) and if you’re going to have a podcast, maybe do a little bit more research, and be able to give a more in depth review (which I really think John could do if Freddie wasn’t running the show) and it might be more interesting to listen to.
