Neal McLaughlin
Grody to the Max: An '80s Horror Movie Podcast
Novelist/filmmaker Neal McLaughlin is undertaking a massive project: writing a series of wicked rad horror novels, each one taking place in a different year of the 80s. Totally gnarly! To mine for ideas he's re/watching, like, every single notable horror film of the decade, you know? And he's turning the experiment into a, like, so CHOICE podcast! Join him on this bodacious ride as he and a rotating panel of totally tubular guest hosts travel chronologically through this seminal decade in horror. Like, barf OUT, I'm so sure!
