“We’re both thrilled and honored for The Kingcast to be joining the Fangoria Podcast Network,” Vespe said. “Much like the namesake of our show, Fangoria is an American horror institution, one we both grew up with, and it’s very exciting to be joining the brand’s storied legacy.”

As Deadline previously revealed, Fangoria relaunched its pod network in October with Colors of the Dark, which is hosted by horror historians Elric Kane and Dr. Rebekah McKendry.
“The work of Stephen King is deeply intertwined in every horror fan’s life, sometimes in surprising ways,” Fangoria co-owner Tara Ansley said. “The Kingcast explores those unexpected and deep connections through conversations with an array of strong voices. As storytellers, King continues to serve as an inspiration to us all.”
