My new favourite podcast! Brilliant and not pretentious horror film analysis? Please more and thank you!
it will make you love the films you think you hate!
It’s probably too soon (after just one episode) to rate a show 5 stars, but I can tell this podcast is built on an excellent foundation.
The 5 stars is an investment in the future of the programme. I’m excited to enjoy the rest of the series and possibly more after.
Thanks for putting this show together, it’s clearly a lot of work.
Thank you and good luck.
What a great intro! As a consumer of horror podcasts, this was sounds particularly interesting! Cannot wait to hear what is in store!
As an avid EoH fan and consumer of horror pods in general, I am eagerly anticipating this series! Love that guests outside of the film world but with relevant expertise on subject matter will be giving their take on some popular films. Hope this pod is a smashing success!
