About this episode

In this episode, I’m joined by filmmaker and YouTuber Ryan Hollinger, one of the most insightful voices in online horror. We dive deep into his early love for the genre, how he turned that passion into a thriving YouTube career, and what it really takes to create meaningful content in today’s ever-changing media landscape. Ryan opens up about the creative struggles, the burnout, the breakthroughs, and the delicate balance between art and algorithm. We also take a nostalgic trip back to the days of Xtra-Vision, VHS tapes, and DVD rentals in Ireland, talking about the lost magic of physical media and what collecting means to modern horror fans. From career challenges and creative independence to the future of horror on YouTube, this conversation is packed with honesty, insight, and inspiration for anyone chasing their creative dream. Whether you’re a horror fan, a creator, or someone who misses the buzz of finding your next favorite movie on a dusty rental shelf — this episode is for you.
