Show Notes

In episode 325, Join Luke Elliott & James Bailey as they discuss what compels them to seek out upsetting, disgusting, and unnerving horror, what the band Tool has to do with spirals, the unique strengths of comics in horror, who influenced Ito more than anyone, his background as a dental technician, and what they hope to see from the anime adaptation on Cartoon Network that they'll cover next week!
