Dads From the Crypt is a horror-focused film and television review podcast hosted by self-proclaimed horror dads who bring equal parts nostalgia, snark, and genuine fandom to their analysis of anthology classics (Tales From the Crypt, The Twilight Zone, Creepshow, Black Mirror) alongside new horror releases and cult favorites. Episodes blend candid, unfiltered critique—like their "salty" takedown of V/H/S Mixtape—with celebratory deep-dives into horror-comedy throwbacks such as Ernest Scared Stupid, often featuring guest interviews with industry figures like director Kyra Gardner. The hosts also track emerging horror trends, including dark reimaginings in the "Twisted Childhood Universe" (Pinocchio Unstrung, Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey), discussing practical effects, franchise lore, and genre casting with recognizable names like Robert Englund and Richard Brake. With a casual, humor-laced banter style reminiscent of horror-loving friends dissecting movies over drinks, this show appeals to longtime genre fans, '80s/'90s horror nostalgists, and listeners seeking opinionated, pop-culture-savvy film commentary beyond mainstream critique.
