We’re Meaghan and Arthur. We started watching horror way too young, never grew out of it, and host the Grave Tone podcast. The newsletter is where we keep you caught up between episodes.
Questions
Before you sign up
Is it really every day?
Yes. A new issue lands every night at 7PM ET, and it takes about five minutes to read. If that turns out to be too much, unsubscribing takes one click.
Is it free?
Yes. Sponsors cover the costs, and every sponsored spot is labeled.
Do you spoil movies?
No. The news and our Verdict takes stay spoiler-free. If a story can’t be told without a spoiler, we warn you first.
Why should I trust your scores?
Because we watch every movie we score. Meaghan and Arthur rate each film out of 10 digs, from forgettable to an instant classic, and we use the same scale every time. See how the Digs system works.
How do I unsubscribe?
Every email has an unsubscribe link at the bottom. One click, no questions asked.
