Spooky, sharp, and just self-aware enough to be dangerous. Welcome to 9 Lives Horror Club, where long-time besties Ben and Cheyenne use horror movies to unpack the very real fears, behaviors, and blind spots hiding beneath the blood. Each week, Ben brings the bold hot takes. Chey brings her background in psychology and English literature to dissect the trauma, symbolism, and uncomfortable truths lurking under the surface. Together, they argue, laugh, and occasionally defend the character everyone else hates. This isn’t just a recap podcast. It’s a conversation about what horror reveal
