Out in the haunted house universe where death stalks the airwaves; somewhere between a cursed VHS tape and the ghost of a Blockbuster Video; lurks My Bloody Podcast, a horror show equal parts terrifying and delightfully unhinged. Imagine if The Criterion Channel got possessed by a demon, or if your horror-obsessed friend from high school actually started a podcast with their equally disturbed and well-read pals. That’s the vibe.
Hosted by Bryan Kluger, a man who speaks fluent Freddy and Jason with the academic rigor of a TED Talk on gore, My Bloody Podcast is a weekly séance-slash-horror-symposium where no monster is left behind and no bloody boil goes unpopped. Preston Barta joins him like a vampire with a PhD, dissecting dread with surgical precision, while Chelsea Nicole; cultural critic, scream queen, and walking IMDb of feminist horror; makes sure every terrifying nuance gets its due.
On Episode #178 of My Bloody Podcast, three horror aficionados do what any sensible millennials facing sky-high real estate prices would never dare. They metaphorically buy a house, albeit a haunted one. Their choice? The colonial fixer-upper from The Conjuring (2013), a property that’s been terrifying audiences for twelve years and is now worth, one assumes, at least three exorcisms over asking. With The Conjuring: Last Rites currently summoning millions at the box office, Bryan, Preston, and Chelsea decided to revisit the film that started it all, to see if its scares still rattle bones in 2025 the way they did back in 2013.
Along the way, they detour into the murky biographies of Ed and Lorraine Warren, those real-life paranormal power couple slash controversy magnets. Was their work groundbreaking or grift-adjacent? The podcasters don’t shy from the mess. They also poke around the real house, the lore, and the question of whether James Wan’s film carved out a new wing in the haunted mansion of horror history, or merely redecorated an old one with better lighting.
And because no podcast worth its salt ignores the practical, the trio tackles essential life questions: Would you knowingly move into a haunted house? (Yes, if the mortgage rate is low enough.) And once the spectral furniture starts rearranging itself, how fast do you grab your keys and sprint? Spoiler: faster than you can say “Annabelle.”
It’s spooky, it’s silly, and it’s streaming everywhere. It’s an audio séance for anyone who prefers their home tours with a side of existential dread.
My Bloody Podcast is where horror isn’t just appreciated; it’s worshipped, flayed open, and lovingly stitched back together. Listen in. Just don’t blame us if you start sleeping with the lights on.
