  • Slash the time away with this gem of a podcast

    I initially found the podcast as a fan of Ohmms - but since then I’ve been hooked.

    Not all years are ‘stella’ for horror, but the gems are always found.

    The podcast is hosted from a place of love and passion for the genre and it shows through each episode

He also isn’t afraid to take on tough subject matter and he examines all kinds of takes on some of the most controversial horror films. I particularly enjoy his interviews wi... more

  • Blood and death made cosy

    This is a great show. Relaxed, informative, genial & funny.

    The host seems like a genuinely lovely guy. Awful taste in music…but passion is infectious, so it’s tolerable. And as I said…seems like lovely guy!

    Big recommend.
