    1. (Public Service Announcement: for all you Horror Podcast fans, a quick heads up. Im sure youre familiar with Mick Garris and his incredible podcast Post Mortem which he concluded/retired in 2023? Well today he dropped a surprise episode!!! Live from Fantastic Fest 2025 delving into the Masters of Horror (series and dinners) with Joe Dante, Don Coscarelli, and Ernest Dickerson. Its a phenomenal interview/discussion. (theres even stories of Stuart Gordon who directed my movie watch today!). Huge click to pick for horror fans).
