The Hosts

302 episodes. Three perspectives.

Adam

The encyclopaedia

Adam has been watching horror films since before it was probably wise. He approaches every episode with a depth of knowledge that occasionally borders on alarming — able to trace a film's influences, its director's career, and its place in genre history before the opening credits finish.

He is the engine of the show: the one who pushes the conversation deeper, challenges easy readings, and refuses to let a bad film off the hook simply because it was fun.

Lee

The horror lifer

Lee has seen everything. Or something close to it. He brings a fan's passion to the analysis — the kind of enthusiasm that comes from a lifetime of seeking out the weird, the underrated, and the genuinely terrifying.

He is the show's heart: generous with his praise, willing to defend a film others have dismissed, and always the first to spot when a movie is doing something quietly clever that nobody else noticed.

Chris

The novice

Chris came to the show knowing almost nothing about horror. He is the audience surrogate — the one asking the questions that more experienced viewers stopped asking years ago, and occasionally saying the thing that both experts have been dancing around.

Over two hundred episodes in, his transformation from horror-sceptic to reluctant convert has been the quiet story running through the whole catalogue.
