"Hack or Slash" by Daniel Stapleton
Welcome to Hack or Slash, where we cut through the clutter to tell you whether a movie is a hack – a total joke, waste of time – or a slash – totally killer, pun intended.
Meet Your Hosts:
What We Do: Since our launch on Friday, October 13th, 2017, we’ve been your ultimate horror movie companions, reviewing films from silver screen classics to the latest releases in theaters.
Each episode is divided into spoiler-free and spoiler zone discussions, ensuring you can decide if a movie is worth your time without spoiling the experience. And once you’ve seen it, dive into the Spoiler Zone with us to unpack the kills, frills, and everything in between.
Our Mission: While horror movie reviews are our main attraction, our ultimate goal is to foster a community where conversations about horror movies enrich connections between people. We embrace our wildly different perspectives, creating a unique and inclusive space for all horror fans.
Join us every Friday as we review horror movies old and new, building a community of enthusiasts along the way. Whether you’re a seasoned horror vet or new to the genre, there’s a place for you in our spooky family.
So, are you ready to hitch a ride on our journey through every horror movie out there? Tune in to Hack or Slash, and let’s make every Friday a slash!
