ABOUT THIS SHOW

Hong Kong Horror covers stories from across Asia. My name is Simon, and after each story, I break it all down from a Chinese cultural perspective to cover cultural beliefs and try to figure out exactly what is happening in these stories. I will be uploading once a week for free public episodes, and once a month for membership exclusive episodes!
