Abe R. Rant's Guide To Petrifying Podcasts On Roku - Day 27: BONUS AUDIO "TREATS" (PART ONE) !! ;-) :-D




Greetings, Boils & Ghouls...



... and welcome to 'Day Twenty-Seven' of "Abe R. Rant's Guide To Petrifying Podcasts on Roku" where I'll bring you another Hallowe'en / Horror-related audio series from the plethora of petrifying podcasts that have been released in recent years - and which (like all others before it) you can stream to your TV via the magic of Roku media players - so, let's dim the lights... for more audio frights! :-O


If you read my special hallowe'en blogathon preview - FOUND HERE - published twenty-seven days ago, then you'll know I plan to post one Hallowe'en / Horror related article each day, throughout the month of October, featuring an assortment of links to various podcasts beginning with the same letter of the alphabet on every day of the month. For the sake of simplicity, I decided to begin this series of blog posts with the letter 'A' on 'Day One', followed by letter 'B' on 'Day Two', letter 'C' on 'Day Three', and so on and so forth, right the way through to letter 'Z' on 'Day Twenty-Six'. Obviously as we've now reached 'Day Twenty-Seven', and (therefore) already come to the end of the alphabet, that leaves five more days' worth of posts... so, having put my thinking cap on over the past few weeks, I have come-up with some extra bonus audio "treats" to share with you in the remaining days of this month-long blogathon. With thirty-one posts of the most spook-tacular sounding series I can find, between now and the end of the month, you'll have lots of great choice for your listening pleasure as we count the days to Hallowe'en, as well as plenty of spine-tingling thrills & chills 'twixt now and October 31st! ;-) :-)


For my twenty-seventh post in this series I'm going to share the link to just one audio "treat" because, it's the only podcast I came across, when doing my original research form this month-long blogathon, whose title began with a number (as opposed to a letter of the alphabet). Despite this subtle difference it will (once again) come from the general spectrum of horror and the paranormal, with the "trick" (sic) being that the title for this podcast series will begin with the number '22' as evidenced below. Much like in other posts, when I've avoided listing titles starting with the definite article "The" among those podcasts beginning with the letter "T", I deliberately avoided including this (as "twenty-two", rather than "22" used here) under "T" on 'Day Twenty' in this series of articles. Anyway, with that minor caveat now cleared-up, here's my suggestion for another Hallowe'en / Horror-related podcast series... and the first piece of "ear candy" from five days of bonus audio treats coming your way:-






22 Shots Of Moodz And Horror: is a weekly horror series, presented by the 'Horrorphilia' network of podcasts, that has been running for over six years and is still going strong today. Their two main-stay hosts 'JP' and 'Moodz' cover lots of topics, including contemporary horror news, in-depth reviews of films, along with discussions about the genre, as well as horror collecting, personalised segments, and much more. The films discussed vary from typical slashers to unknown Italian Horror gems. Reviews are (usually) always spoiler free and cover aspects like technicality, aesthetic, and overall enjoyment factor. As insane collectors themselves, the hosts are well-versed in horror; 'Moodz' is a fountain of knowledge, which makes for a great co-host, while 'JP' is a fantastic podcaster who knows how to keep things moving, but the chemistry between the two is what makes this podcast series stand-out. Their lengthy, in-depth discussions and opinions on not just movies, but also the culture surrounding them, are engaging, hilarious & well-researched. However while the 4 or 5 hour shows do, generally speaking, flow quite smoothly, the 4+ hour format could put some people off... especially at first! :-/ On the other hand, once you're a fan of the show, even that won't seem like enough! :-D Speaking of which... one fan, with a name of 'hotsake' on Letterbox'd, compiled an "horror challenge" with 400+ titles - based on "22 Shots Of Moodz And Horror" film reviews and lists of favourites - which has some absolute corkers in there. So, if you're in need of a break from all this audio content, you could do worse than browse that list of films by 'hotsake', for some pointers on top horror films to see, before listening to your next podcast episode - assuming there's enough hours in the day! :-O ;-)

Anyhow, that's all there is for today... but do remember to come back again tomorrow, for my next petrifying podcast recommendation, when I will provide another set of links to a further audio "treat", only next time it'll be a title (or titles) starting with a different random letter of the (horror) alphabet, for 'Day Twenty-Eight' of "Abe R. Rant's Guide To Petrifying Podcasts on Roku". Once again you'll be able to listen through one of the various channels on your Roku streaming media player(s) which were outlined in my 'Special Hallowe'en Blogathon Preview' post, that was published on the last day of September. Meanwhile... please be sure to visit the "Countdown To Hallowe'en" website and show your support for this annual online Hallowe'en extravaganza PLUS don't forget to use the links you find there and check out all the other 'Cryptkeepers' taking part this year. I know they'll appreciate it, if you visit their blogs and share your thoughts on the contribution(s) they've made! ;-) :-D
