Cradle to the Grave – Details, episodes & analysis
Podcast details
Technical and general information from the podcast's RSS feed.
My name is Erik and as long as I can remember I’ve loved horror. Horror movies. Horror novels. Horror comics. My life's milestones can be measured by the genre. It’s given me years of entertainment, as well as countless sleepless nights. It has kept me young at heart and filled my mind with wonderful memories that I cherish. This podcast is my way of sharing those moments with you. So, starting with my birth year of 1971, I’ll be listing my Top 10 horror films of every year of my life and discussing each one in detail with a little help from my friends. Join us as we journey from the Cradle to the Grave.

ON THE BRINK OF HORROR! Heathers (1989)
Season 2
dimanche 21 avril 2024 • Duration 33:29
For many of us our High School years were like living inside a horror movie! One film that perfectly captured that feeling of isolation, dread, and uncertainly was 1989's Heathers. A time capsule from a different era that my guest comic book writer Brian Buccellato and I had a wonderful time reminiscing about.
