    Well... the episode we never thought that would be made... FINALLY GOT MADE. That's right, it's Episode 14, and we've been waiting ALL DAMN SEASON LONG to talk about all things Sci-Fi! What a JOURNEY!


    So we dive right in, in our own "Search of Tomorrow" to dissect, explore, discover and learn everything there is to know (at least what we know so far) about Sci-Fi, our sister genre to horror, its parallel journey it's been on over the decades alongside horror and how we've seen a lot of examples of both horror and sci-fi crossing over multiple times over the years in so many great iconic films and TV shows.


    We also got a chance to review two somewhat similar but still fun to watch trailers of In Search of Tomorrow, created by the same people who worked on In Search of Darkness 80s Trilogy, the upcoming 90s Horror documentary, the TerrorBytes documentary and more - you know them very well as CreatorVC!

    Happy Holidays, everyone in the Horror community! By the time this special Christmas Horror bonus edition episode has released, we were filming/recording in a total of 2 days on two different bonus episodes (one that focuses on different topics, and one which is about Christmas horror movies, OBVIOUSLY), and L.K. The HorrorNerd has been struggling as of late and would appreciate your support with her Holiday mutual aid request if you're still able to support her (even though this mutual aid request has been public for about 2 weeks now since we recorded/filmed this episode), so we're happy to announce that you're still welcome to support her by going to her Linktree here.


    Anyway, getting that out of the way, we want to wish everyone Happy Holidays or in our community, Happy Horri-Days and enjoy this list of 25 Christmas Horror movies to watch this season as recommended from Fangoria. We'll see you soon on Friday's episode on December 27th and the New Year's Eve Season Finale episode on December 31st. Until then, take care and be safe out there.

If you still got 'em, cherish them, because physical media is FOREVER!


    That's right; we're here to do what is probably one HELL OF A VERY LONG EPISODE, which is rather appropriate, given the lengthy nature of the documentaries we're about to dissect and review and share our thoughts on from the people at CreatorVC, who put together In Search of Darkness: A Complete Journey into 80s Horror Trilogy, the TerrorBytes documentary that's coming out soon and of course, In Search of Darkness: 1990-1994 (Part One) and many other wonderful documentaries as well!


    So dive into the Darkness with us, enjoy these interesting yet hilarious conversations about the documentaries and our unique perspectives on ISOD (In Search of Darkness), TerrorBytes and the horror movies with the horror video games that comes with the territories of the decades.


    Purchase, Download and Pre-Order In Search of Darkness 80s Trilogy, 1990-1994 (Part One) and TerrorBytes RIGHT NOW.

    In a brand new BONUS episode for Season Two, we dive right into plenty of chatty chaos in this hilariously spooky adventure that awaits you all, diving into our usual horror discussion banter, covering some interesting horror news from Fangoria as usual, such as Stephen King returning to write more Dark Fantasy books, Ariel Powers-Schaub writing her first book ever called Millennial Nasties: Analyzing a Decade of Brutal Horror Film Violence and of course, we BRUTALLY DISSECT this so-called "TOP TEN" Horror Video Games of 2024 (not sure if all of them are the BEST Horror Video Games of 2024 in this list, but not to worry; we put together our own list, just in case), and of course, we made an announcement regarding Meta's F**k-ups as of late, so The HorrorNerd Experience will not be on any and all Meta platforms, nor will it feature any new content starting January 1st, 2025, and will only have an Instagram account featuring CLOSE FRIENDS ONLY updates to continue sharing the latest updates on new projects, new episodes, etc. and being approved to be tagged by the You Run Podcast Network on their Instagram platform.


    Yanni Hamburger might consider starting a Facebook page to promote The HorrorNerd Experience, but L.K. The HorrorNerd will not be on any and all Meta platforms going forward, and most likely will delete her Threads, make her Instagram more private and continue to create IG stories that's under Close Friends Only updates going forward, while also creating shorts, content, etc. on YouTube, Twitch, other platforms, etc.


    Stay tuned for more details going forward as we prepare to get ready for Season Three in the Fall/Winter of 2025 next year.

    In this brand new episode for Season Two, Yanni Hamburger and L.K. The HorrorNerd returns yet again, ironically on Friday the 13th, to discuss some pretty hilarious things like asking Bruce Willis to fight L.K. over the debate that Die Hard is a Christmas movie, while also discussing plans on the next few episodes to come for the rest of this month before wrapping up with the Season Finale episode in Season Two that's coming on New Year's Eve.


    Yanni also returns after recovering from being sick - hip, hip HOORAY!


    We've also gotten together to talk about three different trailers - two of them, which isn't coming out until Valentine's Day 2025, while one of them is just to remind folks that there's a movie coming out this year on Christmas Day 2024, while also reminding folks about Terrifier 3 coming out again for a limited theatrical run for Christmas Week 2024.


    We'll be returning soon with brand new episodes next week - one is a bonus episode in the middle of next week, while Episode 13 will be next Friday, and then we have our Christmas Horror bonus edition episode, and then returning again with Episode 14 on Friday, the 27th. Altogether, that'll be a total of 7 episodes we'll have filmed and recorded for this month and about roughly 23 episodes altogether for Season 2 (bonus and official season episodes).


    We'll be seeing you soon.

    --------


    In Episode 11, we introduce the lovely Sean Abley aka Gay of the Dead, to talk about the book called "Queer Horror: A Film Guide" written by a group of 8 people and edited by two of them, while one of them happens to be Sean Abley himself!


    We dive into the book, touch on some interesting topics and cover the vital importance of the film guide, and how it can be used by influencers, horror content creators, reviewers, YouTubers, etc., and even give hope to those who might feel afraid to buy the book and would rather check it out at their local libraries and hide it under their beds if they could. While this book is not the "ULTIMATE" Film Guide that it is, as Sean pointed out, there is talks of a new book to be made where they will continue where they left off and work on adding more to the Queer Horror history. We also have a bit of fun doing a Hear Me Out segment. Anyway, enjoy! You can find Sean Abley everywhere here (plus reach out to Sean via the aforementioned socials for a discount to buy the book or coordinate about setting up a way to get the book into your local bookstores/libraries everywhere!):

    Note: Our Co-Host, Yanni Hamburger was out sick during the recording of this episode but will be back to return for the remaining episodes this month, plus bonus episodes and the Season Finale! We wish them well and a speedy recovery soon.

MENTAL HEALTH. Or rather, mental health and horror movies together. Horror movies can heal your mental health. We also talk about what kind of horror books we'd like to see become horror movies, so tell us about horror books you're reading in the comments below that you'd like to see be made into movies! (Note: this was additional footage that was previously forgotten by accident that was supposed to be in a earlier episode... SORRY!) And finally, we try out a brand new segment called "HEAR ME OUT!" - It gets raunchy and funny AF. Enjoy. NOTE: at the time this episode was recorded in advance, we've been on a two week break and will resume recording new episodes on December 1st. We felt that we filmed/recorded enough for awhile, so thank you for watching and we'll see you soon after our break.
