Great podcast even for mid level horror fans

This is such a great pairing. I like horror but not a die hard fan but I try not to miss an episode. These two are two of the best hosts. They have a great rapport which makes this podcast easy to listen to. But also they’re love of the Craft is infectious. They have a deep knowledge of not only horror but of story telling in general. They review horror films as well as books. Very informative podcast. Love it!

The hosts are just right

It’s refreshing to listen to a podcast where the hosts sound natural and authentic. This podcast is intelligent but not overly academic and dry. Rebekah is awesome and hilarious.

Absolutely Love!

I’m always excited to see a new episode of this show pop up! It’s helped me hear about movies I never knew I needed to watch and is a must-listen for horror fans. Thank you Elric and Rebekah!
