Nightmare USA Podcast

by Someone's Favorite Productions

In 2007, Stephen Thrower unleashed the behemoth film reference book Nightmare USA into the world. Spanning nearly 150 titles, Nightmare USA provides an in-depth look into the American regional horror film landscape popularized in grindhouse theaters and drive-ins during the 1970s and 80s. Join hosts Adam Hursey and Sam Panico as they use this tome as a guide to explore the underbelly of America, one horror film at a time.
