They Call It Horror

By: Brian Hershey Kayla Hardin
  • Summary

  • They Call It Horror is a new podcast and brain child of Author, Brian Hershey, and Editor, Kayla Hardin, both horror enthusiasts and zany geeks of the genre. This podcast is designed to explore the history, legends, folklore and societal influences of what we know of modern monsters. Oh, and both of them like to talk a lot of trash about movies and books that have helped these monsters grow in the genre from their humble legendary origins.

    While staying on the topic of demons Brian and Kayla discuss Ed and Lorraine Warren. Ed and Lorraine were self proclaimed demonologists, paranormal investigators, devoted parents and devout members of the Roman Catholic Church. Their case files on paranormal investigations have sparked some of Hollywood's most famous movies (and remakes) and inspired many other paranormal investigators to take up the charge. This week we talk about who they were, what they did, and some of their most influential and famous cases. Come with us, if you dare.
