Each week a panel of horror fans discuss horror movies past and present. We believe horror is for everyone, regardless of how familiar you are with the genre, or which flavor of fear you fancy most. We dissect new releases, compare originals to reboots, and tell you whether or not the movies are a hack (a waste of time) or a slash (totally killer - pun intended).

  • Good attempt but …

    I listened to 3 episodes and I’m out - these people just don’t have the knowledge to put movies in context - if it was just fun and chatty it might be ok but they’re attempting to have deep discussions and they constantly miss major references and content - they need to add a more seasoned viewer to the group and all of them need to do more viewing and some reading. Very cringe.
