Midnight Horror Picture Show – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Hi Friends!

Welcome to Midnight Horror Picture Show! For those who don’t know me, I’m Neil and we’re going to call this Episode 0. It’s really more of an opportunity for me to introduce myself and give you some insight into my background and why we’re making this show.

In a world full of Prequels, Sequels, and Reboots- we need original storytelling more than ever. And that can only happen if we support it. Episode 1 comes out this Wednesday- until then- stay spooky and support indie horror.

Are you a fan of horror movies?

Our new podcast, Midnight Horror Picture Show is a showcase for underground, indie horror- From filmmakers and artists to the blood-soaked film festivals that fuel the genre — we’re building a community for those who live and breathe horror.

Gain insights into what it takes to make a horror film, learn about some awesome festivals to seek out, and listen to horror fans (like you) nerd out over their favorite films.
