From smoldering slashers to brooding vampires, the Horror Nerds turn up the heat in Episode 2 of Season 2.
This week, Samantha Hale and Bonnie Marie Williams dive fang-first into the dangerously attractive side of the genre, unpacking why we just can’t resist the monsters, maniacs, and morally questionable dreamboats of horror.
From Billy Loomis’ chaotic charm to Patrick Bateman’s business-card obsession, the Nerds confess which villains make their dark little hearts flutter. They revisit The Mummy (because honestly, every single person in that movie is a smoke show), debate whether Pennywise counts as a “hottie” if it’s Bill Skarsgård behind the greasepaint, and admit that sometimes Ghostface just sounds TOO good on the phone.
And because we believe horror hotties come in all forms, on screen and off, we’re also celebrating our very own behind-the-scenes horror hunks: show producers Adam Molloy and Joe White, who keep our blood pumping.
Whether you’re thirsting for vampires, rooting for the final girls, or crushing on someone who definitely shouldn’t be trusted with a knife, this episode proves that horror isn’t just scary... it’s sexy.
