I'm a casual horror fan. Ive seen most of the "big" titles, but I've not been familiar with all the films covered on this podcast. I appreciate that the show says enough to peak my interest without spoiling all the surprises. Subscribed and looking forward to listening to future episodes.

Description

Are you the one your friends turn to for horror recommendations? Do you have a running list of the best practical effects? Then you're one of us. The THING about Films is your weekly sanctuary for all things horror. We review the new, revere the classics, and unearth the hidden gems of the genre. From the goriest body horror to the quietest ghost story, no subgenre is off-limits. This is more than a podcast; it's a community for those who truly love to be scared.
