  • Watch this if you love horror films

    This podcast is a great mix of seasoned horror film lovers and a horror newbie which brings great perspectives to the metaphorical pumpkin table. The discussion is thorough, well-rounded/comprehensive (i.e. factoring in the score/music, budget, when it was made, etc), and entertaining. The hosts also include trigger warnings and spoiler alerts for their audience members. All in all, a considerate and engaging set of hosts appreciating horror films.
