Enjoyable and perfect for my scaredy-cat nature!
A podcast that I look forward to every week! Wish they would do sequels (Jeepers Creepers 2/ Childs Play ect), but this podcast is a great listen!
Long time listener so I apologize, I should’ve left a review sooner… but Frankenhooker?!? Are you kidding me?!?! Best episode ever!!!
I’ve listened to them for years! They are a heavy part of my podcast rotation, and I even love binging old episodes. I’m so glad they share their stories from the void!
This podcast has honestly had a huge impact on me, not only by helping me to see the joy of horror movies, but to also understand that these films often hold up a mirror to oppressive systems. Halle’s and Allison’s analysis of horror movies - and Halle’s reminder that even during the scariest scenes someone is offscreen holding a boom mic or browsing the craft services table - has helped me to watch and truly enjoy movies like Hereditary or The Substance.
I’m one of the listeners who’s frequen... more
