Are you feeling lucky? You'll need the Luck of the Irish to make it through this week's episode. But tune in anyway as we drunkenly celebrate St. Patrick's Day! We talk about the history of the holiday, the folklore of Leprechauns, the 90's horror franchise starring Warwick Davis, and plenty of other Irish-flavored anecdotes. Sorry in advance to our listeners in Ireland for the bad accents!

We are serving up some more local True Crime as we recount the criminal activities of Indianapolis native Herb Baumeister.

The most prolific serial killer of all time? The answer may surprise you. This episode is all about Charles Cullen, the nurse who is responsible for dozens — and potentially hundreds— of murders over his 16-year career. This story may shock you and discomfort you, as his victims were all patients under hospital care. We also compare his story to the recent Netflix film The Good Nurse.

We are talking about one of the most infamous haunted house stories of all-time — The Amityville Horror! We discuss the DeFeo Murders, the Lutz family, and we compare the story to that of the 1979 film. Also like the Lutz family, we find ourselves in a new space with an unwelcome guest! 

This is the second part of our story about the Robin Hood Hills murders.  We discuss the trials, the main players in the courtroom, and the sentencing of the West Memphis Three.  We will also go over the aftermath and our opinions.

This is part one of a two part look at the Robin Hood Hills Murders of three young innocents and the arrest and Trial of the West Memphis Three.  There is a lot to this, so please take your time, maybe split each part into smaller parts, and get through the story of this truly horrifying crime and trials.

We open the new year with one final look back at 2022. It was a great year for horror and we reflect on some of our favorite (and not-so-favorite) horror films of 2022. We also look ahead to some of the horror projects we're most excited for in 2023!

For our final episode in our countdown to Christmas, we break down the 2016 holiday horror fan favorite Better Watch Out — a fun film with plenty of twists and turns and Home Alone-inspired hij...

Cabin fever is setting in and tensions are starting to rise amongst the group. The holidays can be a trying time, but we do our best to get along while we discuss the slow-burn 2019 film The Lodge. Would this be considered a holiday horror? Is this one a horror, or is it a bore? Should these kids have known better?? Curl up by a crackling fire and tune in to The Horror You Know!

The calendar has flipped to December, so the boys have gathered around a roaring fire to celebrate the Holiday season. There will be drinks, boozy eggnog, cookies, and of course... gifts!  It also wouldn't be THYK without a movie discussion, and first up on our countdown to Christmas, we review the brand new VIOLENT NIGHT. So, this movie is definitely more action-comedy than horror, BUT there is p...

Ian Torrance brings us the true crime story of Dennis DePue and how it inspired the film Jeepers Creepers.  The episode has some twists and turns with a surprise team effort by Torrance and Darrin to counter the opinion of Mr. Ian Wells!  How do you think that will go?  Listen and find out!

As if that is not heartbreaking enough, this horrific story takes a crazy turn into something more sinister. (Story starts...

Christopher Peters (actor, producer, entrepreneur) contacted the Podcast about telling the story of his Hollywood background and his recent contact with beings previously unknown to him. At first, it seems like an alien encounter story, but it turns out to be much more. I will let you listen to the man's story as uncut as possible.  

Our 1st annual film festival "Horror At The Ohio" (the one we haven't shut up about lately) FINALLY debuted this past weekend, Oct 21st and 22nd, at the Historic Ohio Theatre in our hometown.

It all ends here... on our 50TH EPISODE! At least season 1 does. A year ago we started out with Halloween , now we come full circle and finish off Year 1 with Halloween Ends , the highly anticipated final chapter of the franchise... (or I$ it?)
