Obsession (2026)

Sometimes, a haunted attraction needs to be seen to be believed. Haunted Overload is one of those haunts. But since this is a podcast, Mike, Kat & Andrew will do their best to describe it (spoiler-free). With mind-blowing larger than life sets, plentiful scares and a genuinely terrifying environment deep in the New Hampshire woods, Haunted Overload is a truly stunning achievement. Not to be missed.Plus: a discussion on haunt hypotheticals, including building a perfect Halloween Horror Nights around favorite films, underused and overrated haunt theming, the benefits and pitfalls of indoor and outdoor attractions, and committing to the experience of an extreme haunt.HAPPY HALLOWEEN!#hauntedoverload #hauntedoverloadnh #halloween #haunts #hauntseason #hauntedhouse #hauntedattraction #hauntedattractions #nh #newhampshire #horrorpodcast #horrorfactsdotcom #fangoria #ahhpod #americashometownhorror #plymouthmaBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/america-s-hometown-horror--4187035/support.Support the Show:FANGORIA: We are a proud affiliate of Fangoria!

And tonight's topic covers all things auditory in the horror world.Join Mike, Kat & Andrew for a breakdown of the aural sensation UNDERTONE, followed by a draft of the best Needle Drops in Horror Movie history.Is your favorite horror track on our list?

What if your favorite non-horror movies were actually secret sequels to the scariest films ever made?This week, Mike, Kat, Andrew, and Matt test that theory as they delve into fan fiction for the first time, connecting a classic horror movie to another film sharing the same actor.For instance: imagine Jack Torrance didn’t actually freeze to death in the hedge maze; instead, the Overlook preserved him but shattered his mind. He escaped, took the name "Melvin Udall," and moved to a cramped NYC apartment to write romance novels. And there you have it—As Good As It Gets is officially the sequel to The Shining. You get the idea... or maybe you don't, but it was a wild discussion regardless. You’ll want to hear this one.Plus, Mike & Andrew discuss BACKROOMS (spoiler-free), the horror-comedy sensation WIDOW'S BAY and the CAPE FEAR remake series.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/america-s-hometown-horror--4187035/support.Support the Show:FANGORIA: We are a proud affiliate of Fangoria!
