I love the podcast! I listen to while at work, driving and etc. One thing I miss is Scott Kelley. His love for these movies really does come across in his energy. Bring him back.
I feel guilty about writing this, as I used to enjoy this podcast, but with each episode, Jim seems to pause more and to become increasingly incapable of speaking in complete sentences.
I think these guys do a decent job. It’s informative, they’ve done a bit of research and even though Ive read my share about the Universal Monsters and some of the earlier monster stuff I always find something new. The production quality is good, they both have decent mics and I think they work well together. They’re clearly fans and that helps.
Sine the closure of the late, great Horroretc podcast I’ve been looking & now I’ve found it! This is the one. Love these movies, love the pace, love the insight.
As someone other a lifelong love of classic horror this podcast naturally appeals to me for the subject matter. But beyond that Jim and Livio as hosts are so much fun to listen with their chemistry, passion for these films and knowledge. It feels like hanging out with cool horror-loving friends they’re just coming from a speaker.

Two hosts deliver entertaining, well-researched reviews of vintage horror cinema, with a focus on Universal Monster pictures from the 1920s–1950s. Episodes blend film history, production trivia, and behind-the-scenes anecdotes with thoughtful critique, often highlighting lesser-known facts and cross-cultural influences. The show thrives on lively banter and deep affection for the material, and it actively engages listeners via social media, making it easy for fans to suggest titles or get involved in upcoming episodes. A standout angle is the hosts' commitment to contextualizing classic films within broader cinema history, while maintaining accessibility for newcomers and long-time fans alike.
