- STOP SAYING “YES!”
Want to love this but my gosh the host does not need to say “yes!” Every time the guest says a word. Also you don’t HAVE to agree with everything your guests say. Sometimes it is more interesting to have differing opinions.

United States24 days ago - Best movie podcast
I love how this podcast explores the horror genre and breaks down these films. I love listening to the host and all his guests. I’ve always loved horror but I have an even deeper appreciation for it now. Thanks for all your movie recommendations and for highlighting the Folk Horror genre which I was unaware of and is now my favourite!
Keep up the amazing work! Maybe a sub genre you can explore in the future could be stuck in one location horror. Keep sharing your scares! - Andy.

Witty, insightful commentary that manages to be thorough without being spoilery or overlong. Enthusiasm radiates from every syllable without ever pandering. I look forward to listening whenever I get a chance.
Apple Podcasts5SPriceArtUnited States3 months ago - Love and Horror
My love of horror films was born during my grade school years, watching Creature Features on Saturday nights on WGN in Chicago, oblivious to any deep psychological motivation/explanation. Thinking/reading more deeply about film in general, including horror, through my ensuing decades of cinephilia, I must say, LOVE this podcast! EOH is a marvelous contribution to film/horror “studies”: serious, methodical, wide and deep, all while on a seemingly simple conversational level. And, very excited tha... more
