FEEDBACK
11/07/2022
Dirk Rogers: I’m wondering if the new crystal lake series will introduce or even center around Jason’s father. It’s an untapped idea that has no legal entanglements and could really expand upon the Vorhees story. I’m so happy that the horror news is back on each week. Great job grue crew. Keep it up.
Chad White: Great show everyone.. lots of stuff here to be excited about.
10/24/2022
Renee St. Aubin: Awwww, one day I’m going to make one of these live streams!
10/10/2022
Chad White: Great show everyone! I’m looking forward to Five Nights at Freddy’s. they made it into a VR game and it is literally terrifying and it gave me anxiety, lol. I really liked Willys wonderland, but it had a lot of campyness, I hope they make it an intense horror instead of being campy…
Mason Campise: Keep up the great work!
10/03/2022
Don Joe: Thanks for another fun episode. I had to look away for the Halloween Ends trailer, don’t need those spoilers. Also, thanks Crystal for not spoiling Last of Us!
Meretneith: Sandra Bernhard was in AHS Apocalypse as a satanist.
