Horror 101 – Episode 61: Thir13en Ghosts

Horror 101 – Episode 61: Thir13en Ghosts – January 27th, 2017

There are ghosts around us all the time. Most of them don’t want to hurt us. But, there are exceptions…

Welcome to our first Horror 101 podcast of 2017. On this show we’re going to focus on one of Cult Sensation Nick MacPherson’s guilty pleasures. This was a strategic pick to help Usher us into a theme we’ve decided to follow for our podcasts this year. This theme will allow us to hit a lot of classic franchises in the horror genre and we’re really excited to share them with you. Be sure to subscribe to us on iTunes and join us as we give the Horror 101 treatment to the remake of William Castle’s 13 Ghosts starring Tony Shalhoub, F. Murray Abraham, Shannon Elizabeth and Matthew Lillard.
