This week, I’m not sitting by the fire alone. Joining me is my old podcast partner and good friend, Adam, for a special conversation about something near and dear to both of us: horror movies.

Together, we dig into:

• Why horror has such a grip on us

• The movies that first hooked us as fans

• The films that still give us chills (and laughs) today

• A few deep-cut recommendations you might not expect

Adam's Top 10:

1. The Exorcist

2. The Burbs

3. Event Horizon

4. The Shining

5. The Babadook

6. Oddity

7. Talk To Me

8. The Conjuring

9. Insidious

10. The Ring

John's Top 10:
