Watch us now on our Raised By Horror YouTube channel.
Richard Kadrey, Violet Blue, and showrunner Scotland Symons bring you into the world of Raised By Horror -- its origins, why we love the art of horror, how dated storytelling often fails horror, how horror is good for us, upcoming episodes on truly scary (or darkly heartwarming/delightfully bonechilling) films and books, why horror boundaries are important, what to expect with difficult content snd spoilers, and so much more.
Upcoming shows we talk about include: Films that scared the shit out of us as kids, films that truly scare us now, horror films to watch with friends who don't like horror, and our extra special holiday horror episode!

The FTC on Monday came out swinging saying it’ll start taking companies to the shed who use false claims of "anonymized" data as a free pass to rent, trade, and share sensitive user information. (It has been proven repeatedly that deanonymizing is a snap.) This feels like a pre-regulation shot across the bow, and let’s hope they bring some pain. As someone who started raising the alarm about this in articles and books over ten years ago, this actually feels good."

Why do so many of us love -- and even look forward to -- holiday horror films? Is it because we've always known there was something off about Santa? Maybe we'd rather scream than sing a carol, or boring feelgood Christmas films make us feel stabby?Or is it because the holidays are horrific all on their own?
In this special episode we talk about why people love holiday horror, especially us, and why we see holiday horror as much entertaining and enlightening as it can be a form of self-care. We've been looking forward to this show all month, we got all dressed up for you, and we handpicked a selection of films to keep you creeped out long after the creatures stop stirring. Enjoy!
