## Resource

Instead of asking our guests about their body of work we dig into what they've been a fan of - from childhood through adulthood. We look for common themes, then talk about why those are important to our guest, and how they intersect with horror as a genre. And if we talk to enough people, we might uncover trends that teach us something about the horror community as a whole!
