Welcome back to Terror Talk Podcast: Killer Minds and Creepy Stuff, where criminal psychology meets the weird, wonderful world of horror pop culture — with a side of dark humor.

We’re diving into the latest releases shaking up the horror scene — from The Conjuring: Last Rites and Weapons, to the haunting Indonesian horror Perewangan. We also talk about our current TV obsessions, including Wednesday, The Institute, and Task, plus the creepy and addictive read Kill Beth by Jon Cohn.

Along the way, we play a round of Horror Trivia, roast some truly unhinged one-star reviews of beloved horror classics, and chat about what’s trending in 2025 horror news. If you’re a fan of psychological horror, supernatural scares, and millennial nostalgia, this one’s for you.
