  • Slash the time away with this gem of a podcast

    I initially found the podcast as a fan of Ohmms - but since then I’ve been hooked.

    Not all years are ‘stella’ for horror, but the gems are always found.

    The podcast is hosted from a place of love and passion for the genre and it shows through each episode

  • Blood and death made cosy

    This is a great show. Relaxed, informative, genial & funny.

    The host seems like a genuinely lovely guy. Awful taste in music…but passion is infectious, so it’s tolerable. And as I said…seems like lovely guy!

    Big recommend.
