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!
