The launch of our new website earlier this week was only one of many, many exciting bits of news we’ve been dying to share with our ghouls. Another announcement we’ve decided to finally reveal has to do with our podcasts. For several years now, we’ve produced and hosted the GHOULISH podcast, which is an interview show focusing on various topics related to the horror genre. That podcast actually predates the name “Ghoulish Books”, believe it or not (why wouldn’t you believe it? what do we gain by lying about this?). Podcasts have always been near and dear to our green, disgusting hearts, which is why it felt like it was time to create what we are calling the GHOULISH Podcast Network—a production company of several podcasts all fitting what we like to describe as “the ghoulish vibe”.
GHOULISH obviously will now have a home on this network, but also several other podcasts we have lined up. The first one we’d like to announce is a pre-existing podcast called My Horror Confessional, hosted by one of my closest friends Miguel Myers. First launched in August 2021, I’ve been both a frequent guest and listener of this podcast, which focuses on classic horror movies—specifically, a classic horror movie the podcast’s guest has for some reason avoided up until now.
More about the show:
Each week in the Confessional we’ll have a guest on who will confess to not having seen a classic horror movie. Join our host, Miguel Myers, as we discuss the movie, why they hadn’t seen it, what their history with horror is and other topics. If, at the end of the show, we feel as if they have truly repented we will absolve them of their horror sin. Join us every week and let’s geek out on the movies we love!
I love this show and I love working with Miguel, and I am stoked to have MHC under the GHOULISH label going forward.
To celebrate, we’ve commissioned Luke Spooner to create new artwork for the show:
Here’s what Miguel had to say about the acquisition at the start of this week’s episode:
Hey everybody, this is Miguel Myers.
I just wanted to pop in real quick to let you sinners in on a confession of mine. I’ve been keeping a secret from y’all.
For the past couple of months I’ve been working behind the scenes with Max Booth III of Ghoulish Books and have agreed to come on board and be a part of a new podcast network that he and his partner Lori are starting. I’m really excited and honored to be joining the team at Ghoulish.
I love absolutely everything they do, the store, the books they publish, Ghoulish Book Festival, everything. Their whole vibe matches really well with mine so I think it’s a match made in hell.
With that said, nothing is going to change content wise. I remain in full creative control of the show and the format will remain the same. But you may hear some ads for Ghoulish in the show, thats really about it..
I believe this is a huge opportunity for both of our brands and am looking forward to seeing what the future holds. None of this would be possible without you guys, the listeners as well as my patrons over on Patreon. Thank you so much and I can’t wait to see YOU in the confessional.
New episodes of My Horror Confessional go live every Friday morning. This week’s episode, featuring Tim Meyer, focuses on Benjamin Christensen’s silent documentary/essay horror film Haxan from 1922.
