I just can’t get enough of these guys. That have been a big part of my life. I am a horror dad and they nailed it on the head that it can feel weird to be a lover of strange and unusual things. They keep my spooky vibes up all year long and I’ve been exposed to lots of cool stuff such as artist and cool gear that puts me deeper and I’ve just had a great time. what else I can say. These guys are just great.
This show was tailor made for me. I have 4 daughters, one of which is my horror buddy. We’re about to launch our own horror pod. Your show has really helped us fine tune our format. Great show! Cant recommend it enough.
Looking for a horror podcast? Are you a dad? Look no further. This podcast was exactly what I was looking for. Will be recommending to all my horror dads out there.

Just started listening not too long ago and love it. Definitely entertaining and love to hear about the many horror movies out there. Keep up the great work!!
