Travel Channel’s Pop Paranormal launched on Tuesday, September 13 on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and pretty much everywhere else you get podcasts. It’s a horror movie and TV podcast hosted by the geekiest couple you know: Karama Horne (aka @theblerdgurl, culture critic parked at the intersection of pop culture and diversity) and Chuck Collins (comic book artist, podcaster and horror connoisseur).
Each week, Horne and Collins dissect their favorite horror and paranormal classics, deep cuts, and current faves that have left a lasting impact on pop culture. Hot takes, cold takes and insider takes will flow.
In each of the 10 episodes, Horne and Collins will unpack pop culture’s most classic horror moments. They also invite listeners to join along as they dissect behind-the-scenes of the TV shows and movies that keep you up at night and are truly the stuff of nightmares.
The couple ponders what makes these stories resonate and become cult classics. Along the way, they are joined by some of Hollywood’s most iconic writers and directors that have breathed life into these creatures, myths and legends.

- “The Shining”
- “Nope”

Do any of the Pop Paranormal episodes cover any of your favorite horror movies or TV shows?
Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, and obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. (Yes, really! As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.
Speaking of mystical, to learn how Courtney channeled her battle with cancer to conjure up this site, check out HJ’s Origin Story.

The Shining and Candyman are both awesome movies. I’m glad Horne and Collins are coving those two films.
Great picks and I agree. I hadn’t heard of them before learning about their new podcast. Fun to find them!
