In our 600th episode we celebrate by diving headfirst into the genre that’s thrilled, chilled, and spilled across our timeline: HORROR. From our very first spooky review to the most underrated scream-fest we’ve ever covered, we’re kicking things off with a look back at our horror milestones. Then it’s time to sharpen the knives as we pit the classics against today’s trauma-laced, meta-aware scream machines.
