Horror Podcasts
We're Alive is a really good podcast if you like zombies. I also used to listen to Psuedo Pod but then stopped listening because I didn't like a lot of their stories. You might find it interesting though, so I suggest you check it out.
these are my regulars:horror etc.
jim Harold's campfire (ppl share their paranormal expriences)
anything ghost (same as above)
h.p. lovecraft literary podcast
the double shadow (clark ashton smith)
1951 down place (hammer movies)
a podcast to the curious (m.r. james)
on occasion I still listen to the b-movie podcast. if you don't like the format of the h.p lovecraft podcast, don't bother with the double shadow or a podcast to the curious. they all use the same. I love it but my husband doesn't. they read a bit of the story then discuss. hope these help!
Well, I really love Welcome to Night Vale. It's funny and heavily based on lovecraft, but more focused on humor.
PlagueDoctor - I'm sorry to hear we lost you as a listener. If you give me an idea of what styles of horror you like, I might be able to direct you to recent specific episodes in that style. I pride myself on the range and variety of types of horror we try to cover but there are some drawbacks to that approach.I might also suggest:
TALES TO TERRIFY
NIGHTMARE

I've heard a lot of good things about this podcast but I haven't listened to it yet.
I advise you to it. It has a lot of "WTF did I just heard??" but all on a funny way with a lot of lovercraftian influences
do I need to start at the beginning or can I just pick one?
I need to start listening to these. I started listening to pseudopod and I guy I'm friends with on Facebook has his own horror podcast.

Thanks for all of the suggestions and keep them coming!
I recently found Lore and find it pretty interesting."Lore is a bi-weekly podcast about true life scary stories.
The people, places, and things of our darkest nightmares all have real facts at their core. Each episode of Lore looks into a uniquely scary tale and uncovers the truth behind it.
Sometimes the truth is more frightening than fiction."
Thanks for sharing. I'll check out lore.

ohh! thanks for sharing, I haven't heard of this one.
I've been enjoying The Horror Show with Brian Keene and Three Guys With Beards (not strictly horror-related, but the hosts [Jonathan Maberry, James A. Moore, Christopher Golden] have done plenty of horror stuff).
Getting lots of good recommendations. I also think Welcome to Nightvale is quite funny. If you haven't given it a shot, you really should.
Alledria, there's a Night Vale book coming out later this month. Been a while since I've checked in with the podcast, but I'll definitely be checking out this work.
The Movie Crypt with Adam Green and Joe Lynch is good. I also enjoy Killer POV
There are some good recommendations here. Can anyone recommend a podcast that reviews horror books as well as movies?Thanks.
oh, I haven't found one but I'd be interested in that too
The No Sleep Podcast is amazing! It's people narrating stories from the no sleep thread on Reddit. Also The Last Podcast on the Left is really good and hilarious, three guys talking about anything and everything scary/horror/monsters/ghosts.
I like Don't Read the Latin, which is a horror film podcast run by author Michael Montoure and his friend Jen who is a huge cinemaphile. Much of the time it's like listening to two of your friends chatting about films, which I find endearing.
I need to start checking out some Horror podcasts so I think I'll make a goal and resolution to do so. Also maybe even do my own podcast or small segment video on horror if I really get inspired.
This is pretty interesting. And it includes a list of nominees for horror podcast of the year.http://www.thisishorror.co.uk/this-is...
Lore is great. I recently discovered Faculty of Horror and I absolutely love it.
Anything ghost and I think it's called ghost pod.. Something like that.

I could do with less promoting of sponsors on The Horror Show, though I understand why they do it. And Brian and Dave are quite entertaining. There was one episode where Brian repeated the same spiel about their hosting platform 3 times (because he didn't have much else to talk about that episode). I have quite enjoyed both so far.

On the other hand, a few titles have made it onto my wish list and to-read piles as a result of those plugs, so I won't complain too loudly. At least it's book related, and not a weird random plug for trail mix or something. :)
I just got into podcasts and really like Horror News Radio so far. Their best horror movies of 2015 episode refilled my movie list and I'm really excited about it (going to watch Bone Tomahawk today).I've downloaded some from Last Podcast on the Left which sounds intriguing since it's about both real and imagined horror, lots of serial killer episodes.
I can't seem to find any about horror books... recommendations?
I don't know if any. But if u do find some, let me know.
I just found 2 new (for me) podcastsThe Black Tapes
Tanis
Some of the episodes actually managed to scare me.
They are well produced and sequensed faux-documentary (I actually had to check the web to be sure after the first 3 episodes )
I love the black tapes but I haven't tried tanis. Isn't that a herb? Tanis root... Or is that something I just dreamed up?
I'm listening to The Black Tapes, and it's the best horror podcast I've heard. I would also recommend- The nosleep poscast

So many horror podcasts I haven't heard of yet! Lore is great, Pseudopod and Nightmare have some good stories too. Nosleep has music and sfx which creates a good atmosphere, as does the Drabblecast. I haven't noticed a mention of the Faculty of Horror, the hosts do an excellent job analysing and critiquing horror films.
I have found some new to me podcast. small town horror- very much like the black tapes.
Tanis- like the black tapes.
Chilling Tales- reading of 2 chilling tales.
Pleasing Terrors- kinda like Lore
The Folklore podcast- exactly that and LOVE it! listen to apple pf your eye <3 <3 <3
I just started listening to podcasts regularly (my first addiction is Dan Carlin's Hardcore History, which is fantastic). You all have given me a ton of podcasts to check out. One that I just started listening to is called Stephen King Cast. Each episode is about an hour long and centers on a specific King novel or film adaptation. Pretty interesting stuff for a King fanboy like myself.
Those sound good, I love history. I'll stay away from the SK one. I haven't read all his books & want to avoid spoilers. We will be starting Christine soon if you'd like to join Jesse.
I'm only a year or so into podcasts (late to the party as usual), but so far I've enjoyed listening to The Black Tapes, The Nosleep Podcast, The Horror Show with Brian Keene, and Three Guys With Beards,ETA: This thread offers up some interesting sounding options. Thanks to all!
Yeah I like the black tapes too. I've started listening to tanis cause they seem to ignoring the black tapes. Did u catch the Halloween show? Hello Carmilla!
I have been listening to Mysterious Universe for about a year. While not a "horror" podcast, they spend a considerable amount of time on the paranormal.Also, just in the last week, I have started listening to Beyond Reality Radio that is co-hosted by Jason Hawes from the Ghost Hunters TV show.
I love mysterious universe! I've been listening to them for years!!

I'll definitely be a part of that read! I haven't read Christine since I was in high school. That was a while back. Haha

Can you all keep me in the loop when u start the Christine read. I've never read it and would love to be a part of a group. Much appreciated.
Sure Andrew. It would be great to have you join us.

Bloody Good Horror
