A New Beginning with The Lost Episode Z of ABCs
Welcome everyone to the inaugural episode of Horror in the House of Sammons. For our first independent episode, we are proud to finally bring you Episode Z of the original ABCs of Hidden Horror with Brian, Dave Z, and Jamie.

LOL The sound should be fine but you'll notice a lack of music under the segments as well as the first film discussion seems to just start in the middle. There's nothing wrong with your device. That segment has some missing parts. But we hope you enjoy our conversation as the three of us decided to indulge ourselves with a little chatter since it was our final episode together. The next episode released here will be an all new beginning with our new format. So we hope you enjoy this. I know a lot of you out there thought you'd never hear it.
