About A Year In Horror
Your host Paul Waller (not Weller) is a horror movie addict. During 2020 the workload for his band and music management job slowed right down. At this same time he discovered the movie social networking platform LETTERBOXD. Armed with this database he decided to fill in the gaps of his horror film knowledge. Within week one he was averaging 3 a day. This podcast is the result of that horror compulsion - A YEAR IN HORROR
