  • Top tier horror podcast.

    A podcast for movie lovers, by movie lovers. Greg and Jenius are not only hilarious on the mic, they’re also genuinely nice people in real life.

    Best episodes are definitely the Into the Mouth of March Madness, and the Halloween 24 hour marathons. Both of which are yearly traditions.

    Started listening to them after seeing VHS 99 at Screenland Armour, which was such a fun movie for Halloween. Absolutely love love LOVE these guys! I re-met one of them right before they showed “Angel Heart” later that year. They are as charming IRL as they are on the podcast. If you like horror/thriller movies, then you’ll love these guys!

  • Don’t Let Go…

    Greg D and Jenius are amazingly entertaining to listen to and we’ll versed in the genre. Also the shear amount of mentions Ed Harris’ dance in Creepshow gets is wonderful.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP 564: Fear
Q: Have you seen Fear in the theater when it originally released in 1996?
Yes, both hosts watched it in the theater in 1996 and reminisce about the experience.
EP 517: They Call Her Death
Q: So where did the idea for the ballad of Miss Pray come from?
It came from a pandemic-era writing process where I was collecting Western prints and letting the landscape and genre tropes shape the story, then translating that into a shootable plan on film.
EP 516: Ghost Game
Q: What were the biggest challenges working with a first-time director of photography or a new Maryland crew?
The team had to establish a new working dynamic, but the pre-production phase and mixing of local Maryland crew with a few trusted collaborators helped them achieve a strong vibe and cohesion by the end of the first week.
EP 516: Ghost Game
Q: How did Ghost Game come together, and what was it like collaborating with the Blair Witch circle on this project?
The project came together through connections with Adam and Ed Sanchez; Jill was excited to read it, and the collaboration involved Jamie Nash and Michael Williams, enabling a nerdy, collaborative energy and bringing in Blair Witch alumni to enrich the production.
EP 558: Panic Fest Q&A 2026
Q: Where did the spark for Ivan come from?
Damian Zeon explains it started with a personal fear about a father figure and a child's interactions with a voice-activated device, which evolved into a story about a family dealing with the encroachment of technology and control within a grounded, emotional framework.
