    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!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Horror Movie Review! Frankenstein (2025)
Q: What did you guys think of the character design of Frank of the monster in this movie?
I didn't love it, to be honest. I thought it was weird looking. He looks kind of like the creature in The End of Alien, Romulus was about to sing a tool song.
Horror Movie Review! Frankenstein (2025)
Q: Dave, can you give us your synopsis?
Yes, Frankenstein 2025, directed by Guillermo del Toro. A brilliant but egotistical scientist brings a monstrous creature to life during a daring experiment that ultimately leads to the undoing of both the creator and his tragic creation.
Horror Movie Review! Halloween 3: Season of the Witch
Q: What do you think about the Halloween 3 concept?
The concept is actually terrifying with an evil corporation distributing mass-manufactured masks that kill children.
Horror Movie Review! Fear Street: Prom Queen
Q: What was your score for this movie?
Scores varied from 1.5 to 1.9, mainly due to some interesting kills and a decent soundtrack, but overall the film was considered bad.
Horror Movie Review! Fear Street: Prom Queen
Q: What did you guys think of this movie?
