Used to love it. Now the episodes are few and far between, depend on what guests are appearing and the storytelling that I loved is gone. So disappointing. Your book is great but you can’t lean on that forever.

Really enjoyed this podcast right from the first episode. Not only does S A Bradley cover my favorite genre, he talks in a way that makes you feel like your right there with him in the same room. Very well done show and look forward to more.

Great podcast

I really appreciate S. A. Bradley's thoughtful enthusiasm and insights. I had been looking for a horror podcast, and I like how this is such a low-key, measured discussion about horror. I welcome the opportunity to revisit movies I've seen, and I'm excited to learn about movies, genres, and ideas I hadn't considered before. I was a kid who loved horror and I never stopped. Not only is this about the movies themselves, but the exciting feelings that I/we/horror fans attach to them.

Each episode is a peek into another world, full of new strings to pull on and new films to see. S. A. Bradley loves what he does and it shows. Thanks for the original insights, ideas, and the time put in to this gem of a podcast!

Hellbent for Horror is my favorite movie or horror podcast, and I’ve listened to a lot of others. The host is a genuine fan, and that comes through in every episode. Everything is professionally done. The guy’s not pushing any agendas, other than celebrating horror, and he makes any listener feel like an accepted part of horror fandom. Great stuff!

Hellbent for Horror is my latest obsession. After discovering the podcast a couple weeks ago, I’ve now listened to dozens of episodes. S.A. Bradley’s unique brand of horror evangelism makes him a treasure to the genre and a joy to the lister. Each episode of the show is smart, insightful, and helps you discover new books to read, new movies to watch, and new avenues to explore. In fact, I love this podcast so much that I’m dreading the rapidly approaching day when I won’t have any unheard back episodes left and I will have to wait patiently for new episodes to post. In the meantime, I’ll keep devouring each episode with enthusiasm, keep digging deeper into previously unknown regions of the genre, and I’ll for sure stay hellbent!

S.A. Bradley is insightful, honest, and doesn't care if you have different opinions from his own. Like mine, Bradley's definition of horror is broad and inclusive. That means he's able to discuss horror from angles that other podcasts tend to avoid. Unlike podcasts that focus almost exclusively on slashers, vampires, ghosts, and werewolves, Bradley often tackles psychological horror. Moreover, he's able to articulate why we feel what we feel when we watch such films, even when we ourselves are not.

I didn’t expect to like this podcast so much. I’m not a fan of horror, because I believe most of the “stories” emanate from truth. I’m so glad I took the advice from one of my Science Heroes, Lisa Gorski. Be careful, as it’s so easy to get lost in the stories! CANT PUT MY PHONE DOWN! Simply amazing!

So happy to have found this podcast. Quality, in-depth discussions of the horror genre and related topics. No gimmicks; no goofy, shock jock-style delivery — just a host who obviously has done the research and knows his stuff sharing his love of horror with the audience. And excellent audio quality to boot. Compelling, enlightening, and refreshing.

S.A. Bradley has insights I just don't hear anywhere else. That makes this podcast better than 99% of the stuff out there. This show deserves to be at the top.

Officially my favorite podcast. Can’t believe i haven’t found this sooner. Great knowledge of the history on the subjects of the episodes. Gonna live on this channel til I’m finished. Tod Browning search brought me here

I imagine this podcast is what it would sound like if Stephen King started his own podcast. The host S.A. Bradley has a deep understanding of the horror genre, and even gives words to themes that I've loved in horror, but didn't know how to express. After reading some nonfiction by the master of written horror, Stephen King, I believe that S.A. Bradley has channeled that spirit and voice into podcast form, and I could keep gushing but I'll stop. If you are a fan of horror and love exploring the themes of horror on a deeper level, this is for you!!!

I listen to a lot of film related podcasts and this is the best that I've discovered recently. S.A. Bradley is a terrific host and the content is always excellent! His encyclopedic knowledge of horror isn't limited to film either. Easily one of my favorite podcasts!

What do you get when u take a passion for horror and combine it with a great podcasting voice ? You get this outstanding podcast, loaded with lots of insight and inspiration. It's fantastic !

If you listen to podcasts and love horror movies, you really should give this one a try. Bradley is a great host and brings out the best in his guests. It is a horror podcast for true horror lovers.

There are a lot of horror podcasts but none quite like HELLBENT FOR HORROR. The intimate story-telling reminds me of the monologue Jack Nicholson’s character is recording at the start of THE KING OF MARVIN GARDENS. I feel encouraged to make an art-house reference in my review, because S.A. Bradley connects the dots of horror going beyond familiar genre films and considering other genres and art-forms. I’m so grateful to listen to this show. It’s well-written and lovingly produced. Highly recommended.

Hellbent for Horror is an always-fascinating, engaging, personal, and sometimes even bone-chilling piece of audio art. There is no podcast like it. From critical analysis of horror classics to terrifying tales of travels to Iceland, S.A. Bradley has crafted a podcast like no other. It has expanded my horizons as a horror fan and it has made me a better movie-watcher as a result. It is a joy to listen. Every time.

S. A. Bradley is consistently delivering one of the best film podcasts out there. With its mix of history, autobiography & analysis, Hellbent for Horror towers over the majority of podcasts on this topic.

SA Bradley does a great job telling a story and finds great information to make every lover of the horror genre want to come back for more! Love the insight and the knowledge he shows

I'm not a huge horror guy, but Bradley is mytour guide to finding the best stuff. His passion for horror is like no other.

combine encyclopedic knowledge of film and all all things horror with a golden voice and well organized mind and you have the formula for an engaging podcast. horror isnt even my first passion when it comes to film but i can't stop listening to this podcast. highly recommended!!!

Okay, I love this podcast. I'm someone who has avoided horror films and stories and novels for a looooong time. With movies - I'm freaked out! With novels - my imagination is too darned good, so - also yikes! (Horror comic books I can take - and in fact, really, really like.) But, of the horror I've seen, I've always respected it. See "The Faculty?" GREAT character parts (just as an example). What S.A. Bradley has done here, as far as I'm concerned, is draw me into the pit of horror - that I kind of always wanted to be in anyway. He's got a *great* voice, and the care with which he composes his 'casts is plain in every word. He really tells STORIES, guys. This isn't random thoughts, bouncing around. This is fine writing, that's been crafted and practiced, so when he tells that next story, it's pure enjoyment to listen too. And boy, does he know his stuff! So many great nuggets of horror-related info that, again, he's able to weave into a terrific story without getting off topic. No boredom here! This podcast is pure class, folks. If you love horror - or even if you just want to know more about it from a real storyteller who has been in that Pit of Evil for longer than he can remember - and has been LOVING every minute of it - this is it.

great story telling and amazing detail into each section for horror knowledge i recomend this 100%

Bradley is great at sharing his passion and knowledge of his subject, well researched and engagingly conveyed, his hypnotic voice gives you safe passage while illuminating various dark corners of horror history.

Great podcast to listen to. S.A. Bradley has a true passion for the genre and is a great storyteller and speaker. Also it is great to hear about all aspects of the genre and the people involved.

It's obvious from the beginning that S.A. Bradley is passionate about his topics. Combine that with a mesmerizing voice and you have a formula for an informative and entertaing podcast that is a true joy to listen to. I'm hooked!

Ok - I’ve could not tell you the last horror film I really enjoyed since John Carpenter’s Halloween and Vampires. Ignored the whole lot when Centipede 2 came out. But when a passionate host delivers informative discussion, and some story telling - ya got me. Thanks for reopening my mind to the genre and curse you for now binge watching some of the titles you have been talking about. List the movies/directors you talk about in the description to enable easy looking up and you nailed it!

SA Bradley really adds a lot of great perspective to this genre.

The host has a wonderful way of telling a story. It's captivating. The opinions are interesting, and it made me think about horror in a different way.
