  • A Podcast That Brings Guests On To Help Against the Stigma

    I'm fairly new to listening to this podcast from Allison Broder. Its premise is simply amazing in the respect that she invites guests who are into the Horror film genre for different reasons. I've been new to the Horror community for about three years now, and I approach it through the storytelling and worldbuilding potential and rich lore that this genre could have just like sci-fi and other genres. For me, Horror is more than it's gore and slicing and dicing. To be brief, I champion a controve... more

  • Out of all the horror options, why this one?

    Allison’s short form interview style leaves nothing to be desired. She does her homework, allows her guests to champion their positions, and gets down into the “what” and the “why” of horror, presenting a new take on an old concept: why do we love being scared? Pound for pound, the most consistent podcast week after week, with just enough fluff to give the podcast body, but little enough to allow it to have soul.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 241: Levi Holloway (Playwright: Paranormal Activity on stage, Grey House, & more)
Q: How tedious are those technical rehearsals?
Technically demanding but exhilarating; it's my favorite place to be. It's a rigorous process with many moving parts, but it's essential to shaping the final immersive experience.
Episode 241: Levi Holloway (Playwright: Paranormal Activity on stage, Grey House, & more)
Q: Was there ever any intention to adapt the original franchise characters and their story to the stage?
No. We wanted to do something brand new and give ourselves freedom to move in any direction without conflicting with existing material, while borrowing the bones and transforming them into an original story for the stage.
Episode 241: Levi Holloway (Playwright: Paranormal Activity on stage, Grey House, & more)
Q: What's your favorite scary movie?
My all-time favorite is the 2002 American remake of The Ring, though I also love a range of 70s horror and modern ghost stories; it depends on the mood. I'm drawn to films that balance atmosphere and emotional stakes.
Episode 245: Horror Writer Haley Newlin (Author of "The Film You Are About To See")
Q: What horror movie are you most looking forward to seeing in 2026?
I'm excited for Ready or Not 2 and the film Victorian Psycho, with a gothic governess setting, hoping to see a strong, rage-filled female lead expanded on screen.
Episode 245: Horror Writer Haley Newlin (Author of "The Film You Are About To See")
Q: But you recently wrote a book, as you said before, called The Film You Are About To See. Can you tell everyone what it's about?
It takes place in 1959 at a drive-in with a Dust Till Dawn Spooktacular, bringing William Castle's gimmicks to the drive-in and weaving a slasher turn with period-piece flavor.
