  • Not bad

    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.

  • Grateful for this unusual horror pod!

    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!

  • How to make horror less fun

    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.

  • Should be great but …

    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.

  • Superb

    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.
