The Creepover

Alli and Kathryn Ormsbee

Lights off? Flashlight on? Then it’s time for The Creepover, the weekly creepy slumber party podcast, hosted by wives Kathryn & Alli Ormsbee. Tune in every Friday night as we gab about your favorite horror movies, scary shows, & true crime documentaries. It's basically the same vibe you'd get on a late October night in a suburban basement, circa 1999, cozied up with your close friends for a spooky sleepover.


Take your spot in the blanket fort as we discuss all things macabre, supernatural, and bone-chilling—with just the right amount of comedy and cozy nostalgia. And remember: When the ghoulin' gets tough, don't be afraid to scream like a girl.
