  • They hit all the marks!

    These guys have been at it for a long time, and it shows, they cover everything we all love and remember, and then some great things we’d all forgotten about and enjoy remembering all over. A staple for me now, with a great back catalog and excellent production value.

  • Learning a lot!

    Because I actually don’t know a great deal about horror genre, but I do want to learn, I find myself learning quite a bit from Podcasting after dark. Hosts are easy to listen to. Finding movies to watch (or avoid) is a great plus!
