A Very British Horror

It's Christmas! Its a ghost story! By Charles Dickens.

No, not that one. Its the first of our festive episodes covering the Ghost Stories for Christmas series. And we start by looking at The Signalman, a great story to read whilst commuting.

If you fancy reading the original story, it can be found here on Project Gutenberg

Join us as we discuss the fascinating topic of the redundant "the" in the title. We know how to have fun.

Also discussed are eyebrows, Jack Nicholson and plenty of nods to that show we shall not name!

If you want to debate the "The" join us on facebook where we're AVeryBritishHorror

Appropriately for halloween we go looking for witches with Vincent Price in Michael Reeves masterpiece, Witchfinder General.

Unfortunately the sound went a little off in places and I had a cold and cough so there is the odd cough and sniffle.

Happy Halloween.

One of the last Hammer Horror Films and the last one for Terrance Fisher.

Its a bit of a dry run for Star Wars with Peter Cushing bossing Dave Prowse around.

Simon Helder is great or is that Shane Briant?

Just what does Chris say about Madeline Smith? Is there an even lower budget version of this film called Frankenstein and the Monster From Hull? Find out in our newest episode.

Blaxpoitation, a german shepherd in a fur coat and a whodunnit all rolled into one crazy horror film.

Look out for the werewolf break!

Special Thanks to Gary Stratmann.

So can you work out who's the werewolf? No of course not.

Do contact us, we get so lonely up in our deserted, creepy castle.

Not much to say. Here's our tribute to the great man.

Cornwall. The county of pasties, tin mines and clotted cream. Home of King Arthur, Jamaica Inn and Lands End. Go surfing in Newquay or check out the moors.

But we all know that the biggest tourist attraction is, of course, Zombies. And a bit of voodoo. They're as Cornish as ice cream! Don't believe us, then go and watch Hammer's The Plague of the Zombies.

Do you agree with our discussion of the film? Or think we're talking rubbish? Perhaps you're from the Cornish Tourist Board? Either way you can contact us in the following ways:

Or just pour some blood on a voodoo doll. It all works.

Those poor brave fools Chris and Paul take on their toughest mission yet: All one hour and fifty-five minutes of The Bride, Sting's doomed attempt to replace Peter Cushing. A misunderstood classic or is every critic right?

We take a look at one of the least known episodes of the 1970's BBC series Dead of Night, Return Flight.

Neither of us had seen it and best of all it was written by Robert Holmes and we may have indulged our inner Doctor Who fan a bit too much.

So is there a real ghost in this story at all or is it just imagined?

After being quiet last time, we though we would start screaming this week.

We discuss the 1973 Amicus film And Now The Screaming Starts starring Peter Cushing and Herbert Lom, when they can be bothered to turn up.

Based on the out of print book Fengriffen, which you can pick up for a few hundred quid, is Screaming a classic?

If you would like to discuss this episode or just want to tell us we're wrong then contact us at [email protected] and we'll definitely read your email out.
