A guy talking about horror, spookiness, fantasy and the macabre in general. I could listen to him all day. Also, if you’re reading this, please know we’re all rooting for you. Merry Christmas.
This is the kind of deep geekery your life needs to inject directly.
Along with “Great Library of Dreams Podcast” one of my personal favourites.
Well worth a few hours of escapism, which I do frequently.
I love this podcast. I love what Jim Moon does because I always come away from his shows, learning something new. His December series analyzing the best Christmas horror movies was astoundingly informative, creative and fun on a subject that I thought I knew but obviously didn’t! And it got me to watch all these holiday gems that I overlooked. Follow and Download the great work Jim Moon is doing! You’ll be glad you did!
If you grew up on horror films and books this is an incredible walk through of everything in the genre from years gone by. Nostalgic, warm and wonderfully comforting. Jim Moon is a legend for putting this together, he has a style that makes you feel like you are sitting by the fire in an old pub
