Description

The ghosts of your horror movie club explore a different sub-genre each month! Featuring creators from the spooky community, stoner filmmaker DeVaughn Taylor & film journalist Garrett McDowell discuss the recurring motifs of various sub-genres and what makes the best genre films work. New episodes every Tuesday! NOTE: We recommend starting at Season 2 (Ep60) as that's when Garrett joined and began our current format. Season 1 was the experimental phase and before DeVaughn got better at editing haha NOTE: The first 99 episodes, we were under the "Bloody Blunts" name. Season 3 is where we continue on as "Specter Cinema", though the show itself does not change.
