  • Good stories, if you can get past the host

    Good stories and narration. The only slight downside is the host sometimes get's preachy. I'm here for the horror. Not a lecture or a window into the hosts personal beliefs of attempts at political humor. 5 stars otherwise.

  • How to for horror

    If you want to learn how horror works, how it ticks and how it digs its bloody claws into you, this podcast will do it. For me, some of the best parts are at the end in the comments, where I can learn why and how the amazing stories of every episode make me shiver.

  • 947 please lose this commentator

    You’ve RUINED another perfectly fine story with your inane comments. SO WOKE you can’t even see what you are. The characters in the story were not racist, they were friggin nuts!!! It’s funny that you can’t see the similarities between them, and your self. Those lunatics would spout the same inane comments as you….BTW…if your goal is to drive away 50% of subscribers,you ARE succeeding.
