The Nightlight Horror Movie Club is a weekly podcast about scary movies, true crime, the paranormal, and all things spoopy.
The Nightlight Horror Movie Club
The The Nightlight Horror Movie Club podcast is an incredibly fun and entertaining show to listen to. The hosts, Kate and Ariana (and sometimes Emma), have a great dynamic and their energy and banter are infectious. They have a way of making even off-topic discussions enjoyable. Their episodes cover a range of topics including horror movies, true crime, random creepy stuff, and even corn horror. It's refreshing to hear their unique take on different aspects of the genre.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is the hosts themselves. Kate, Ariana, and Emma are fantastic hosts who bring a lot of personality and humor to their discussions. They have a genuine passion for horror movies and it shines through in their conversations. Their chemistry is evident in every episode, making it feel like you're listening to friends having a passionate discussion about horror movies. They also offer quick summaries of movies for those who haven't seen them yet, which can be helpful for someone like me who hasn't watched many horror films.
Another great aspect of this podcast is the variety of topics they cover. In addition to discussing horror movies, they also delve into creepy pastas, folklore, spooky science, and true crime. This ensures that there's always something interesting and engaging to listen to in each episode. I particularly enjoyed their episodes on Creepy Pastas and would love to hear more of those in the future.
As for drawbacks, there aren't many notable ones with this podcast. Some listeners may find that the hosts go off-topic too often or spend too much time on tangents. However, I personally enjoy their conversational style and find it adds an element of authenticity and entertainment value to the show.
Overall, The Nightlight Horror Movie Club is a fantastic podcast for horror movie fans or anyone interested in creepy stories and true crime. The hosts' chemistry, humor, and passion make each episode enjoyable to listen to. With its mix of entertaining discussions, quick movie summaries, and variety of topics, this podcast is definitely worth tuning in to. I highly recommend giving it a listen if you're a horror fan or just enjoy engaging conversations on spooky subjects.
