Prefer the older episodes, less preachy. Not as knowledgeable about the genre as shows like Exploding Heads, 22 Shots of Moodz and Horror and Jay of the Dead’s shows.
I've been listening to the Faculty of Horror for a few years and absolutely love them. I listen to several podcasts on horror films, that each scratch a different itch. I love the feminism, the academia, the analytical dives, but also the fun of this pod. I don't always agree with every single take that the hosts have, but I always enjoy hearing them, and find that this show always gets me to do some extra thinking!
Imagine, if you will, that a wet blanket was two people. Now imagine that those two wet blanket people decided to start a horror podcast, posturing as preachy academics while effectively removing all of the fun from most horror movies. That’s pretty much what you get here. And don’t even get me started on the “bloopers” shows which just devolve into stretches of people belching and unfunny bits that should have remained on the editing room floor.
The hosts are so theatrical and mannered in their delivery that it’s hard to listen to. If they have a guest I like I’ll listen but otherwise it’s too grating to put up with.
I love enthusiasm and this podcast has it by the bucketload. Should you wish to delve in blind, I suggest the Manhunter episode. The hosts’ opinions are forthright and insightful. They don’t gloss over the flaws, they highlight the plus points and reveal how progressive the film is compared to the later entries in the Hannibal franchise.
I have worked through a few of the films that have caught my eye, but I will be working through the whole catalogue. First class listening.

With a strong academic foundation, engaging discussions revolve around various aspects of horror films and literature, exploring themes such as social dynamics, feminism, and cultural context. Episodes frequently highlight the insights of the hosts as they critique films from psychological, historical, and political angles, while also weaving in personal anecdotes and critical examinations of societal norms reflected in the horror genre. This unique perspective likely sets it apart as not just a movie review forum, but an intellectually stimulating experience for listeners who appreciate layered discussions on the intersection of horror, cultural critique, and contemporary issues.
