“I’m often asked as a horror fan why I like horror so much. I have many answers but this podcast really breaks down quite how important horror movies are to society as well as us all dealing with our own mental health and issues.
The hosts are informative, caring and have a genuine love and...”Read full review »

“As a therapist myself who is also a fan of horror, I really have high hopes for this podcast. Criticisms - the hosts draw too much on their own trauma. I work with clients all day and I have to take this podcast in small chunks because I sometimes feel like I’m doing too much emotional labor for...”Read full review »

“I grew up watching and loving horror movies, but haven’t been able to go there in probably 10 years due to life things and past trauma. Listening to the hosts describe and dissect the movies over the last year has given me the nudge I needed to rediscover some old favorites. Today I watched a...”Read full review »

“I came to this pod because I’m a huge fan of The Losers’ Club which Jenn is a cohost on. I really like the way that Mike, Jenn, and Lara explore horror and mental health in a way that’s accessible, easily digestible, and very fun! Listening to their conversations and analysis before watching...”Read full review »

“I’ve been listening to this podcast for over a year (having already been a fan of Lara and Jenn’s work from other shows), and it’s become one of my favorite podcasts. This is mainly due to the three hosts—Jenn, Lara, and Mike— who are equal parts warm, funny, and insightful.
Oddly, I dislike...”Read full review »

“Discussing horror movies and the very real issues they often confront could easily fall prey to shallowness or to sensationalizing instead of normalizing the discussion of mental health. Jenn, Lara, and Mike do a fantastic job of covering both the mental health topic and the film of the week,...”Read full review »

I also like the fact that Mike is “local” (I’m from NH). Keep up...”Read full review »
