  • The Horror Returns Podcast

    Been listening for a while now, I’m a huge horror fan. Love me a good slasher. Brian, lance & phil are fantastic hosts. I download ones when I’ve already seen the flicks they talk about. I even go back and listen to older episodes. I save other eps until I get to see the movie in question. Nice listening to like minded people. If you’re looking for fun on a specific topic like horror this podcast is for you.
