Horror/Stories (pronounced "horror slash stories") is a film-analysis podcast, centered around how artists manufacture fear, exploring the depth and complexity of horror media, and sharing a passion for the horror genre with other horror lovers. Going into Season Three, the podcast is adopting a panel format of rotating guests–indie authors, film producers, and other artists and creators, talking about a selected film. It's an opportunity for guests to talk about an unusual topic (vs. a traditional interview) and for listeners to glimpse the personality behind the creator persona.
