Todd and Becca met and fell in love over their shared love of horror (among other things, I guess), so it only makes sense to channel that passion into a podcast that seeks to review every horror movie ever made.So join two married, antisocial weirdos on this silly journey to share their love of horror, and each other, with strangers on the internet.Each episode starts with a spoiler free review and content warning, so don’t be scared. Look for new episodes every Thursday!
