Welcome to your horror safe haven. Created and hosted by Chelsea Rebecca, alongside co-host and husband James A. Janisse, the Dead Meat Podcast is a show dedicated to all things horror. Episodes explore a range of topics from reviewing the biggest, or sometimes most obscure, movies in the genre to doing a deep dive into horror history, to fan-favorite game show episodes where the couple puts each other’s horror knowledge and problem-solving skills to the test. With nearly 250 episodes under its belt, the Dead Meat Podcast has become a destination for horror fans, even leading Chelsea, James, and the Podcast Set to make a cameo in Scream 5.
