Horror isn’t just about the monsters on screen—it’s about the people who watch them together. In this episode of Horror Heals, Corey sits down with four horror superfans—Leighann, Vinnie, Amber, and Steve—who didn’t just bond over their love of horror, they became family because of it.
What started as a shared appreciation for the films of Adam Green (Hatchet, Frozen) and Joe Lynch (Mayhem, Suitable Flesh) turned into something much bigger. From meeting in online live chats to surviving life’s hardest moments together, this group proves that horror isn’t just about entertainment—it’s about connection, resilience, and finding your people in the most unexpected places.
