Donna Tha Dead Podcast

On this episode I'm showcasing some of the worst and best dads in horror, just in time for Father's Day. Nothing like a strong role model to look up to unless he's a psychopath, murderous clown or zombie, oh my! Plus some comedic dads and ones who sacrifice their all for the love of their children. Oh an FYI, I made a faux pas on my number two worst dad list and stated the actor's name instead of the character...big whoop, I'm human. Come listen to me give some praise to the horror dads. For this title, My Heart Belongs to Daddy, the artist is Eartha Kitt.
