Mix yourself a holy-water cocktail and grab your garlic necklace as the Horror Dads, John and Jamie, sink their teeth into Episode 137: 10 Vampire Films That Don’t Suck. The Horror Dads cover an eclectic spread of films - some are cult classics, and some are more modern interpretations. Tune in for a celebration of the films that have worked hard to keep the vampire mythos alive and explore what makes some of these films stand out amongst a relatively crowded sub-genre.

Many of the obvious classics are avoided, so the Horror Dads are excited to deliver some deep dives around these lesser-known films. It goes without saying, but much like the films that are covered, this episode does not suck.

Episode 128: 10 Savage Revenge Films

Tune in as the Horror Dads cover 10 Savage Revenge Films from the horror genre. John and Jamie find that many of these films redefine justice, brutality, and retribution. Through our conversation around these films, we discuss final girls and antiheroes while these films prove that horror often thrives on the primal need for payback.

This subgenre is pretty fascinating and led to some great discussion.
