  • Amazing podcast

    I found this podcast and was surprised to see the small amount of subscribers because these guys deserve so much more! I instantly fell in love with

    The hots and their excellent knowledge on the occult and all things horror. If you love all things horror related you’ll love this podcast, I never want to get out my car when I’m listening to them I’m so wrapped up in every episode. Couldn’t recommend enough.
