My cousins and I go ghost hunting and make little videos of them and I alwa... more

  • Fabulous podcast

    These guys do a really great job researching and presenting their stories. I love the banter in the second half of the podcast. It reminds me of my college days. These guys have really helped me get through a dark time and sleepless nights. Hope they have 1000 more stories, I will listen to them all happily.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Horror Movie Review! Frankenstein (2025)
Q: What did you guys think of the character design of Frank of the monster in this movie?
I didn't love it, to be honest. I thought it was weird looking. He looks kind of like the creature in The End of Alien, Romulus was about to sing a tool song.
Horror Movie Review! Frankenstein (2025)
Q: Dave, can you give us your synopsis?
Yes, Frankenstein 2025, directed by Guillermo del Toro. A brilliant but egotistical scientist brings a monstrous creature to life during a daring experiment that ultimately leads to the undoing of both the creator and his tragic creation.
Horror Movie Review! Halloween 3: Season of the Witch
Q: What do you think about the Halloween 3 concept?
The concept is actually terrifying with an evil corporation distributing mass-manufactured masks that kill children.
Horror Movie Review! Fear Street: Prom Queen
Q: What was your score for this movie?
Scores varied from 1.5 to 1.9, mainly due to some interesting kills and a decent soundtrack, but overall the film was considered bad.
Horror Movie Review! Fear Street: Prom Queen
Q: What did you guys think of this movie?
