Frightday

by Audio Wool

From their compound tucked deep in the mountains of Montana, each week the Frightday crew investigates chilling incidents of high strangeness, human wickedness, peculiar cryptids, & conspiracies...from a rational perspective. The subject is then paired with a review of a new release genre film. If it bleeds, hacks, stabs, summons, sacrifices, abducts, or bites...it is Frightday.

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Interesting, informative, well paced and imaginative review. We watched the movie that night and loved it. Thanks for this wholesome scary fun.

mtaunt · May 2023

I love these two. It’s rare to find a podcast that can balance covering unique horror and true crime stories while still maintaining great research and still being fun! Great editing, great people. Thanks for all your work, Kelly & Byron!

ML8MT · Feb 2023

Started on the zak bagans episodes and i must say this podcast reminds me of my own except more “segments” which isnt a bad thing. The host and cohosts are funny and relatable dont go to off topic and honestly i feel like im listening to my friends podcast if my friends did podcasting….thats sad….but i love the podcast and the people are responsive on twitter. Keep it up guys! Cheers from haunted conversations podcast host, archer!

Castun92 · Feb 2022

This is one of my favorite podcasts. The banter and chemistry between Byron and Kelly is great. It’s kind of opened my eyes to a new genre that I don’t have much experience with. Keep up the great work

SuckitJobs · May 2021

The content is very interesting to listen to, and Kelly does her best to keep the episode’s story moving despite the continuous childish interruptions from Sam. If there were a way for AI to just filter Sam out completely it would be a 4+ star show, but sadly there isn’t. At some point you just have to say enough is enough and stop listening. If Sam were even remotely interesting or intelligent it might be tolerable, but no such luck. Sorry.
