Send us a Text Message. Send in the clowns. Tell them not to forget their crossbows and chainsaws. This week our guest is Adam Cesare, who’s Clown in a Cornfield trilogy reaches a climax (I won’t say end) in Book 3: The Church of Frendo.

Based on the Richard Bachman book of the same name, 1987's The Running Man is a cheesy action spectacular with some of the all-timer Arnold Schwarzenegger one-liners. The movie bears very little resemblance to the book, however it remains one of the more prescient movies of the '80s.FANGORIA Podcast Network által

Shane and Rich found a new favorite author in Michael J. Seidlinger. The Body Harvest won us both over instantly, being transgressive AF, utterly brilliant psychological horror with smatterings of body horror, uber violence, and a whole twisted plot of mind-fuckery. Join us in our conversation covering an array of topics from virus chasing--it's a …

Send us a Text Message. Why is Adam Nevill so scary? I don’t know. Do you? He’s a nice guy – as you’ll hear in this episode. Yet he tells stories that crawl under your skin and stay there.

The Shining was released in 1980 to tepid critical response and weak financial success, but it has aged like a fine wine and is now considered a genre masterpiece. It's hard to deny that the movie's iconography is even stronger today than it was upon release, and that's thanks in no small part to young Danny Lloyd's central performance.…

Send us a Text Message. What’s your favourite Stephen King story? Everyone has one.

I am the architect of my own doom! What was supposed to be a s…

Send us a Text Message. 200 episodes! Madness. Who knew there could be so much to say about horror? I knew. You knew. And here we are.

Send us a Text Message. Elle Nash’s Deliver Me ruined my week. In the best possible way. This book, about a woman so desperate for a child that she does truly terrible, no-good things, contains some of the bleakest, most brutal scenes I’ve read in a while. And it’s not even really being treated as a horror novel. Elle and I talk about that. We also…
