Best Horror Movie Podcast

I have been listening to this podcast for about the last three years and it is my favorite! I find the guests interesting, the conversations are insightful, the host is wonderful. I have also discovered a lot of new and new to me horror movies while listening. If you are a fan of horror, this is the podcast to listen to.

great for movie lovers!

Really enjoying these. One after the other! The only downside are the truly horrible essays by Mary Wild.Talk about bloviate! She sounds/writes like she swallowed a thesaurus but doesn't understand how to use it! I fast forward through these "essays", just aweful stuff though. The regular movie takes/reviews are jsut great! 5 stars.

Great podcast!

I'm still barely on the slasher episodes and honestly, I love it so far. Host is charming and funny and I really enjoy all the guests. Really really loving this podcast!
