- Authentic and thoughtful horror commentary
I first heard DeVaughn on Evolution of Horror and appreciated his commentary. I’ve really enjoyed diving into the Specter Cinema catalogue and have found Garrett to be equally insightful. My one constructive criticism is that I would love to hear you give more space to your guests. I often want to hear more from your guests but feel like they often don’t get much airtime. Thanks for providing great, down-to-earth horror content.
