I love listening to Hometown ghost stories &horror movie reviews . I listen to it at work you guys are hilarious and you make me laugh every time. My coworkers peak in my office to see why I’m laughing. I think I’ve watched every horror movie that you posted reviewed as well. Some good & some not so good. I just really enjoy your guys show. I’m very into ghost and I actually I’m very into witchy stuff as well. Love it 🖤
I love the HTGS podcast. The guys put in a tremendous amount of work into the show. The research, the history, the music, the spookiness, and the banter makes for a most excellent podcast. The chat community on Tuesday night and the discord community enhance the podcast and the fun. This podcast just gets better and better!
Approaching 200 episodes!
