  • OBSESSED with this podcast!

    Katie and her guests consistently deliver humorous horror filled content week after week. I absolutely love the rabbit holes they go down and the pure variety of films she covers! The best part is you can clearly tell Katie is a natural comic and I love how she marries that with her love and knowledge of the horror genre. 10/10 RECOMMEND!
