* Let's Not Meet
Let's Not Meet is a true horror podcast where people either send in their stories of encountering creepy people or the host gets permission from people on the subreddit of the same name. Andrew Tate has an oddly soothing voice and reads most of the stories in such a way that draws me in. Sometimes guests read stories and most of them are equally good. These stories range from home invasions to being followed to being threatened by violence. There are over 60 episodes all with several episodes each. The only flaw of the podcast is the editing. Occasionally, he will repeat a phrase, but it's a momentary thing and doesn't occur often. The music is offputting and sets the mood perfectly. I've listened to almost all the episodes over the course of a couple months and I'm eager for more creepy stories. The first few days I binge-listened to the show and had to check my room to make sure it was empty and safe before I went to bed.

* Final Girls Horrorcast
The month of October has the Final Girls, Carly and Aimee, picking typical Halloween costumes out of a hat to pair with a film. The first week were demon and vampire costumes paired with The Gate and Interview with the Vampire. I'm not super familiar with The Gate and it sounded pretty ridiculous, but their discussion of Interview with the Vampire was very interesting. They pinpointed that the ending kind of falls apart a bit and doesn't match the rest of the story. The second Halloween episode had clown and ghost costumes paired with Killer Klowns from Outer Space and Paranormal Activity. I need to rewatch Killer Klowns and it cracks me up that Paranormal Activity is explicitly about demons, but they chose it anyway. It's a good choice even with the tenuous connection because it's an iconic film that made big waves in horror. Who knows what will come next. Listen and find out!

* Unobscured with Aaron Mahnke
Aaron Mahnke, creator of Lore, tackles the real life horror of the Salem Witch Trials with Unobscured. Only the first episode is out so far, but it's way more specific and well researched than anything else I've read or listened to about this time in history. Mahnke is specific about the factions within the community and the events leading up to the trial. This does focus on the historical elements that some might find dry, but it's a much deeper dive than the stories in Lore. It gives a picture of what day to day life is like as well as the religious and political environment that leads into the trials. I'm eager to listen to more.
