  • Fun and thoughtful horror conversations

    I found Scared Gay! After the collaboration with Random Number Generator Horror Podcast No. 9 and I was immediately hooked.

    The banter between Paul and Pablo is entertaining and addictive. And their conversations are so thoughtful and inclusive of the impacts and perspectives of Horror for the whole of the Queer community.

    I’m sad because I’m almost caught up with all the episodes and I’ll have to wait for new ones. Thank you for putting this work into the ether, it’s been a comfort and a jo... more

  • Maybe got a little gay…

    I found scared gay when they collaborated with random horror 9 and I’m so glad I’ve stuck with it.

On a sappy note its been a treasure to hear these two grow over the years an... more

  • Chill Maybe?

    Was a good podcast until it became Paul talking about movies and Pablo going into excruciating detail about his niche fetish kinks. No thanks.

  • Comfort horror

    Hello Scared Gay! My name is Ari and I found your podcast early this year from Random Horror 9. As a Queer POC it’s so comforting to hear the enthusiasm and love you two have for the horror genre. From deep dives to informative trivia to straight comedy tangents, you two have never made me feel so normal and seen about my interest in horror movies and the impact they hold in LGBTQ+ culture. This podcast is the highlight of my work week and gets me hype to watch along for the next episode. Not to... more
