Kill By Kill: Talking Horror Characters One Death At A Time
We Write GoodIn each episode, Patrick Hamilton and Gena Radcliffe unpack all the gory details of horror cinema's least discussed topic: the characters. From Friday the 13th to the Evil Dead franchise and beyond, our mission is to detail each hack, slash, and decapitation in the hopes that a victim's untimely end is just the beginning of the jokes we can make about them.

Thanks for the funny takes on Friday the 13th and for practicing your right to free speech. I disagree with your take on part 5 but agree wholeheartedly with your political statements!

Discovered this podcast a few days ago. Listened to a couple episodes. It was OK.
Of course, couldn’t just talk movies. Had to insert their misinformed, divisive political opinion into their show. No one cares about your MSNBC fueled opinions
Low rent.

The first Friday the 13th is one of my most watched movies, so I was really happy to start from the earliest episodes of the podcast to hear the detailed breakdown and discussion of my favourite part of any horror movie - the characters.
I don’t know if I have a favourite kill but Annie is ... more
