  • Entertaining, informative and funny!

    This podcast has all the ingredients that an entertaining podcast should have. Both hosts are entertaining and each bring different qualities that compliments the other well, and their guests always elevate everything that the show already provides. I cannot recommend this podcast enough to fellow fans of the vampire genre, or horror in general. This podcast is a five fangs out of five for me, a definite live forever!

    Movies should not be longer than 90 minutes. Off-topic, I had to dump my vampire girlfriend because she sucked the life out of me.

  • Always entertaining!

    As a huge fan of vampire films, this is easily one of my favorite podcasts to listen to. These guys don’t miss. They’re always entertaining and they bring on wonderful guests to discuss all of the different films with them. The best compliment, imo, I can give is that even when I’m not familiar with or don’t like the film they’re talking about, I still totally enjoying listening to them discuss it. Truly a stellar show!

    Great show that’s fun, fact filled and quite simply fangtastic.

    Always interesting to hear the guys and their guests talk about so many great, and not so great, vampire films.
