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!

I don’t know if I have a favourite kill but Annie is ... more
