- We need season 2!
I love that CT is looking at horror movies from a Christian perspective. As a Christian and someone who enjoys the genre, I’ve seen people regard the the two topics as oil and water, so I am very thankful that this podcast exists.

This is a well done podcast examining the intersections between faith and horror. Loved every episode! I appreciated the thoughtful consideration of how horror can indeed help us consider important existential questions, even for thoughtful Christians. I would love to see a second season!

Apple Podcasts5Ben88493930United Statesa year ago - A Thorough and Thoroughly Captivating Podcast
I have learned so much about the value horror stories, the nature of horror, and writing horror listening to this podcast. I have also learned a lot more about humans, myself included and what it means to “Not Look Away”. To not be repulsed or afraid to look at evil - in order to stand up to it in the world today.
I highly recommend this podcast. I hope there is a second season.

I was intrigued when I first heard about this podcast, and to be honest, I haven’t been disappointed. Some people have commented on the host being a little cheesy, but there are many horror movies that lean into that too, so I see it as authentic to the genre. I will say that I don’t particularly like the editing style. It sometimes feels like the episodes jump around without continuity which can be a little confusing if you’re not paying close attention. That being said, I still think it’s a go... more
