Horror Vanguard

It's the most romantic day of the year and Jon and Ash talk unions, labor, and the affective power of horror. What does it take to combat a pickaxe-wielding killer? Why is capitalism slowly destroying small-town America and most importantly, just how dreamy is Jensen Ackles? Get ready to FEEL!
