Hey horror fans - Listen up, literally.

I'm pretty sure I've mentioned this a while back, but I have a lot more followers than I had a year ago (yay and thanks!) so I'm plugging it again.

Horror fans should absolutely check out the Horroretc Podcast. It rocks royal ass.



Hosted by two guys who are really in the know regarding horror, it is a weekly podcast about all things in the horror genre. Ted & Tony have been talking horror for 113 episodes now - around two years I believe. It doesn't have a strict format, going more for a laid back discussion about whatever they come up with - though each week tends to have a theme. Most talk is movies, but occasionally they do shows on the written word, gaming, TV, music...most anything.

This week is "Anthologies: When three stories are better than one."
A random sampling of past podcasts includes popular mainstream themes such as vampires, zombies, ghosts & werewolves...as well as more specific topics such as Asian horror, road horror, TV horror, winter horror, nature vs. man, shocksploitation, Hammer horror, Dexter, Sci-Fi, British horror, horror documentaries, indie horror, urban legends, found footage films, etc...

They have also put together Audio commentaries for films such as Halloween, The Thing, and A Nightmare on Elm Street. Directors have been a popular subject as well, with shows on Guillermo Del Toro, John Carpenter, Tim Burton, and others.

The podcasts usually last around an hour, and I download them straight from iTunes so I can take them mobile. But you can listen to a direct feed from the site as well.
I never thought I would be into podcasts, but these guys changed my mind. I'd heard several before them where the hosts just sat around and got loaded, swore the entire time, and sounded like teenagers in heat. No thanks.
Ted and Tony are adults, thank you very much. They usually crack open a Guinness or two in the process, but it doesn't hurt the commentary!

Oh, and they have a very active forum, where a lot of horror fans chime in on tons and tons of genre related topics.

So give it a whirl. Check out their complete episode archive here, and see for yourself how wide a range of topics they have discussed. I give it a shining recommendation and really can't praise them enough.

Congrats!

Just wanted to give a big shout-out to my favorite podcast!



They are celebrating one year of podcasting and I have to say thanks for all the awesome episodes, guys! You've kept me totally entertained!

If you haven't had a chance to hear Ted and Tony ramble on aimlessly (just kidding!), you really need to gear up your MP3 player and give these guys a listen. Or just go to their website and hear it there.

They really know their horror and each week gift their listeners with conversations ranging from the latest movie to scary tv to conventions, gaming, books, music and all things horror!
Sometimes there is a theme, such as 'J-horror' or 'Tim Burton' - sometimes they just do a 'from the hip' episode and discuss whatever comes to mind - horror related of course!
For instance, recently they did a super episode on Kevin Bacon. When you think about how many genre films the man has done, it's amazing the episode wasn't split in two.

You can find a direct download for the show at http://www.horroretc.com/ or you can get it from iTunes - either way it's free and you can't go wrong with these two. They are intelligent and have alot of fun doing it.... and by fun I don't mean they are a couple of drunks giggling and talking about themselves like alot of awful podcasts I have heard!

There is also a cool forum where people like us (weirdos that live and breathe horror) can chat amoungst other like-minded folks! Hey, I'd rather be weird than ordinary, right?
It's easy to register, so get on there!

So thanks again to Horroretc.com for a year of great tuesday nights - and here's to another year, and another, and another... etc!
