Rottin' Roger sits down with Horror Holly to discuss a handful of tropes that slasher flicks love to use!

I grew up in Villisca, Iowa. Like most people from my hometown, I knew the story of the 1912 Villisca Axe Murders long before the rest of the world did.Over the years, I've watched that tragedy transform into one of America's most famous "haunted house" attractions. Ghost hunts, paranormal investigations, overnight stays, and endless claims of supernatural activity have turned the brutal murder of eight innocent people into entertainment.In this episode of The Deep Cut Podcast, I take a hard look at the real history behind the Villisca Axe Murders, separate documented facts from paranormal folklore, and explain why I've always had a problem with profiting from one of the darkest moments in my hometown's history.This isn't about proving or disproving ghosts.It's about asking a much bigger question: At what point does remembering a tragedy become exploiting one?

Rottin' Roger loves "Are You Afraid Of The Dark?" So, he decided to cover one of his all time favorite episodes "The Tale Of The Deadman's Float" Video Version AVAILABLE ON YOUTUBE!

This week on The Deep Cut Podcast, we're talking about different types of horror fans. Part 2 takes a look at the Gatekeepers, Remake Haters, Schlock Masters, Spooky Seasons, and Elevated Horror Geeks. Some of these people annoy me. Some of them are my people. Either way, we've all run into them before.#HorrorPodcast #HorrorFans #HorrorCommunity #RottinRoger #DeepCutPodcast #HorrorMovies #Halloween #CultFilms #SlasherMovies #ElevatedHorror #HorrorGeek #MoviePodcast #HorrorDiscussion #Gatekeepers #HorrorTok

Every horror fan thinks they're unique... but after decades of watching horror movies, collecting tapes, attending conventions, and arguing online, I've noticed that most of us fall into a few recognizable categories. In this solo episode of The Deep Cut Podcast, Rottin' Roger breaks down some of the most common species of horror fan you'll encounter in the wild. From Gorehounds chasing the next extreme shock film, to Slasher Fanatics who can name every masked killer from every forgotten sequel, to Collectors, Comfort Food Horror Fans, and Horror Historians who treat the genre like a living museum. This is the first installment in what will likely become a multi-part series because there are WAY more horror fan archetypes out there than I could fit into a single episode. So here's the challenge... Which type of horror fan are YOU? Did I nail your category? Did I completely miss one? Drop a comment and let me know what kind of horror fan you are, and suggest a horror fan archetype for Part 2.

Something isn't right in the cabin. With Evil still missing and the sun seemingly refusing to rise, Rottin' Roger is trying to hold things together and get an episode out for the Deep Cut audience… even if that means letting Walter co-host. Walter insists on discussing one of his favorite horror movie topics — possession. Walter chooses The Shining. Roger chooses Evil Dead. But as the episode goes on, Walter keeps pushing Roger toward something far more dangerous… reading from the Necronomicon. Roger refuses. Until Walter suggests playing a reel-to-reel tape that supposedly contains a brand new outro song for the show. It wasn't just music. And whatever was on that tape may have just changed everything.

For years we’ve been friends in the horror trenches… but this is the FIRST official appearance of Strange Monkey Reviews on The Deep Cut Podcast. Rottin’ Roger sits down with fellow horror YouTuber, film critic, and horror host Strange Monkey Reviews to talk about what it really takes to become a horror host in the modern era, how to create content that actually stands out in a sea of creators, and why some of the most interesting horror movies are the ones that don’t always get respect. Then… Roger hits him with Hot Takes. That’s right. We make Strange Monkey choose between some of the things he loves most ... directors, films, games — no fence sitting allowed. This episode is fun, lighthearted, and maybe even a little inspirational for aspiring creators and horror fans alike. If you love horror community conversations, content creation talk, and a little chaos mixed in...this one’s for you. 🎧 Available on all major podcast platforms & YouTube Podcasts. #DeepCutPodcast #StrangeMonkeyReviews #HorrorPodcast #HorrorYouTube #HorrorCommunity #HorrorHost #FilmCritic #HorrorMovies #ContentCreators #MoviePodcast #HorrorFans #HotTakes #IndieHorror #CultHorror #SupportCreators
