A Year In Horror

Your host Paul Waller (not Weller) is a horror movie addict. During 2020 the workload for his band and music management job slowed right down.
At this same time he discovered the movie social networking platform LETTERBOXD. Armed with this database he decided to fill in the gaps of his horror film knowledge. Within week one he was averaging 3 a day.
This podcast is the result of that horror compulsion - A YEAR IN HORROR

It's mid month - It's music time - It's horror time - & here on A Year In Horror we aint afraid of no Gost.

2014 (Part 4)
It's time for one of those huge episodes.
