Tune into the HorrorFam.com Podcast on the third Friday of every month! We post all of the episodes here, along with FULL written transcripts (for the hard-of-hearing and/or folks who prefer to read rather than listen).
Want to be one of our podcast guests? Have something in the horror genre you’d like to promote? Contact Lauren! Don’t be nervous if you’re an “unknown” — that’s WHY she wants to talk to you!! Mainstream (“big”) creators get plenty of attention but they aren’t the only ones creating jaw-droppingly wonderful horror films/shows/art/podcasts/blogs/books/other.
We LOVE discovering and sharing the talents of indie horror creators!!! The catch is: since you’re “unknown” (for now!), you’re sometimes difficult for us to find. So, PLEASE: Introduce yourself to us! ♥
