This week on the Horrorcraft Podcast, we’re turning our attention to Sinners with special guest co-host Kate Reeves as we honor Black History Month. 🖤🕯️

Cass and Kylee are joined by Kate to dive into how Sinners confronts horror through legacy, trauma, faith, and survival — using fear as a mirror for history, truth, and resilience. This isn’t horror for shock value alone; it’s a story rooted in lived experience, cultural memory, and the weight of sin passed down through generations.

Together, we unpack the film’s symbolism, its place within African American horror, and why African American voices in the genre matter — not just this month, but always. Sinners reminds us that some of the most powerful horror comes from reclaiming space and telling stories that were never meant to be silenced.

💬 Join the conversation: what African American–led horror film or performance has stayed with you the longest?

This week on the Horrorcraft Podcast, we’re lighting the last candelabras and descending beneath the Paris Opera House for the finale of Gothic Ghoul Winter with special guest co-host Kate Reeves (and yes, she’s Kylee’s sister). 🕯️🎭

Cass and Kylee 🖤❄️ take center stage with the 2004 film adaptation of The Phantom of the Opera — a sweeping gothic tragedy of masks, music, obsession, and doomed love echoing through candlelit corridors. From the crashing chandelier to the candlelit lair beneath the opera, we’re diving into the dark romance and operatic horror that make this tale eternally haunting.

With Kate joining the discussion, we unravel the Phantom’s tortured soul, Christine’s impossible choice, and why this lavish, melancholic love story is the perfect curtain call for Gothic Ghoul Winter. Roses, candles, and the Music of the Night included. 🌹🖤

💬 Tell us: are you Team Phantom or Team Raoul?

This week on the Horrorcraft Podcast, we’re lighting the candelabras and sharpening the razors for Gothic Ghoul Winter with special guest co-host LJ Ugarte of Firecreek Entertainment and the Hellzone. 🕯️🦇

Cass and Kylee 🖤❄️ are heading straight to Fleet Street as we deep dive into Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street — a grim, operatic gothic horror where revenge sings, love rots, and London is drowning in fog, blood, and despair. From doomed romance and wrongful imprisonment to meat pies that absolutely should not be eaten, this episode is wintery gothic misery at its finest. 🩸🥧🏰
🖤 With LJ in the co-host chair, we’re unpacking the tragedy, theatricality, and emotional brutality that make Sweeney Todd such a perfect Gothic Ghoul Winter watch — and why its themes of obsession, loss, and vengeance hit hardest in the cold, dark months.

💬 Tell us: are you Team Sweeney, Team Mrs. Lovett, or just here for the unhinged barber-chair chaos?
