  • Summary

  • The Rants Macabre is a podcast about all things horror. Don’t let the name fool you, we delve into the genre with sharp focus and deep production (think Radiolab about scary movies). Every month we tackle a new subject in horror and share our findings with each other. We want you to love scary movies as much as we do, so we don’t over-share plots, or give spoilers.
