A Very British Horror

We go back to 1989 via 1691 to chase down Julian Sands as the Warlock (1989). We find out how best to track a witch, why all New World settlers were Scottish and reveal the darkest secret of this film, what did Brian May do?

We went to check out our podcast recently only to find a similar podcast had been built by the government for making synthetic food.

We're not sure so we've watched Quatermass 2 to check it out. Paul has watched the original serial and nit picks the differences whilst Chris has a rather controversial opinion about this film. Tune in to find out what that is!

Chris and I went to the series launch of new BBC III horror comedy Wreck. (Yes we're showing off)

Wreck starts on BBC III on Sunday October 9th

This episode we interview comedian and horror fan @elf_lyons about her new show Raven. We also talk horror, Stephen King, whether Italian Horror films help with grief, difficulties of sourcing watermelons out of season and a bit about chopping off dicks. It's lovelier than that sounds.

Her show sounds amazing so you can check out her tour dates and buy tickets from her website  https://www.theelflyons.com/

We're BACK! Back to 1970s Hammer with this episode as we discuss the artistic merits of their first foray into the lesbian vampire genre. Is this a good adaptation of Carmilla? Are we Vampire Lovers? (See what I did there?) Find out by listening!

Whilst we are in between regular episodes, we thought it would be fun to share this abandoned episode from March 2017, where we review every Hammer film listed in the book The Hammer Story. Chris had bought a new microphone and we were trying to work out how to record two microphones on one laptop. We thought we'd found a solution and used a bit of software we thought was free. Unbeknownst to us it was only free for about 15 minutes, after that it started to insert the word TRIAL into the recording.

We abandoned it but its quite fun so I thought we'd share it.

Welcome to the first episode of 2022. We find that there is room for 1 inside as we go exploring the weird stories of Ealing Studio's horror film Dead of Night. We're no dummies!

The documentary film on Dead of Night can be found on Studio Canal UK's youtube page.
