Horror Anthologies Are So Back (and We Need Them) ft. Ryan Joseph Murphy of “Your Horror Show”

In this episode of Horror Nerds, Bonnie + Samantha are joined by Ryan Joseph Murphy, creator of the fiction anthology podcast Your Horror Show. We go full 90s nostalgia (SNICK, Goosebumps, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Tales from the Crypt) and talk about why horror anthologies are making a full comeback.

We also get into: why horror + comedy are basically soulmates, how Samantha is a hot version of the Crypt Keeper, Bonnie shares a funny story about working with Ed Asner, the joy of practical “monster-of-the-week” storytelling, and why we love a horror story where bad people get their just desserts.

"So, hang onto your hats, kiddies, this one's a real shocker!”

Shoutout to John Kassir, the Crypt Keeper himself, for introducing Samantha at a live Horror Nerd show!
