Spooked Podcast

https://spookedpodcast.org/

Monster Movie Title Generator

https://www.hanttula.com/monster-movie-title-generator/

A site that generates cheesy horror movie titles. I needed some really generic horror terms, and this site did the trick. It’s just fun. I would totally watch The Blood-Devouring Vampires Must Awaken!

Flavors: random, timesuck
