Bonnie + Samantha sit down with Ryan Joseph Murphy (creator of the fiction anthology podcast Your Horror Show) to talk 90s horror nostalgia, why anthology storytelling is having a comeback moment, and why horror and comedy are basically two sides of the same coin.
We cover Tales from the Crypt, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Goosebumps, The X-Files, and the satisfaction of a horror story where bad people get what’s coming.
Shoutout to John Kassir, the Crypt Keeper himself, for introducing Samantha at a live Horror Nerd show!
