Welcome back to A Podcask of Amontillado, where we delve into the dark, dreadful, and terrifying parts of the world.

Believe it or not, Connoisseurs, there are people who do not enjoy the thrills and chills of our favorite genre! They are not drawn to the dark, creepy, spooky things that go bump in the night. Most of the time, that is. However, they will sometimes take a peek into our delightfully fun stories, if the tale is well told. Erin & Gary were curious as to why someone would avoid venturing into this fearful territory they love, and what might tempt them to dip an occasional toe into the dark waters.

To find out, they are joined by their friend, and certified scaredy cat, Kamassa Herrmann, to discuss her history with horror (and why she usually avoids it), inflatable T-Rex costumes, everyone’s lines and levels of desensitization, their feelings about The Walking Dead, watching horror with friends, various gateway horrors, the Scooby-Doo factor of Supernatural, the role of sound in horror, why Gary gets all the hate mail, a Game of Thrones diversion, a Beetlejuice rant, and how Kamassa was able to out-ick Erin & Gary!
