The show in one paragraph
Welcome to Horror is a fortnightly podcast in which Lee and Adam — lifelong horror devotees — take their friend Chris through the genre film by film. Chris came in knowing nothing. Every episode he watches the film, listens to the others debate it, and reports back. Over two hundred episodes later, he's still technically a novice.
It's equal parts film analysis and chaos. You'll learn things. You'll laugh. Occasionally you'll be genuinely unsettled.
The hosts
- AdamThe encyclopaedia. Knows everything. Has opinions about everything.
- LeeThe horror lifer. Has seen everything twice. Will defend any film.
- ChrisThe novice. Asks the questions you're afraid to ask.
