  • Joyful, Fun and Smart

    HHT leaves me smiling from ear-to-ear every time I listen. Matt and Tim have an incredible connection that brings such joy and fun to the podcast. It’s a breath of fresh air…you can see their hustle and commitment in every single episode. What a treat for horror fans to straddle movie reviews with interviews of both modern artists and people from 80s slashers. I can’t recommend listening to HHT enough!!!

  • Enthusiastic but chaotic

    I really want to like this podcast more but the hosts continuously talk over each other and finish each other’s sentences and it’s all just a bit frustrating. I like how enthusiastic both hosts are about the subject matter, but it would make for easier, less manic listening if they were just a bit more restrained in terms of letting each other finish their thoughts.

  • Unhappy Times

    ANOTHER horror movie podcast in which the hosts simply relate the entire plot of the main film being discussed. Is there any end to these? I don’t think so. The hosts are fun, but the approach to “reviewing” each movie is generally disappointing.
