Horror scholars and aficionados Emma Platt and Andrew Brooker discuss the horror genre, one bloody film at a time.
It's been a tough couple of months, so Emma and Brooker have scrapped, for now, the current plans for episodes and decided to get together, shoot the breeze, and chat about the films that Brooker got to experience at the freshly returned FrightFest in London this past august. There's some book chat too, and some hot takes that get everyone a little heated.
