  • Nate Hensley…

    I used to work custodial for a school district, very early hours, like the sun’s not out yet for a while early.

  • American horror at its best!

    Two smoking barrels of Gothic Americana! A perfect podcast for lovers of Lovecraft and Gaiman. I cannot recommend this highly enough!

    Confused and frustrated! How does the podcast keep getting ever better?! Is there no limit to how good it can get? I hope not!!! For anyone who may be a John Carpenter, Robert Rodriguez and Tarantino fan this podcast is a must! 6 out of 5 gore covered ninja stars to the face!

    So how do we get a streaming service to make this into a never ending series? If you ... more

  • I was surprised....

    I expected this podcast to be like most the other horror podcasts. All telling the same story over and over. I was wrong. This is an actual horror story podcast. Amazing writing, amazing narrative. Two thumbs way up, 5 out of 5 stares, 100 %, gold star etc.....
