A Very British Horror

It's Hammer time! New Hammer from 2014 but enough of this shouting, there's something odd about Jane Harper, if you ignore the torture, Stockholm syndrome and demonic possession. So come on don't feel the noise, lets be The Quiet Ones.

In the episode we talk about the events that inspired this film, The Philip Experiment. Details can be found on here:

Ave Satani! Join us as we celebrate the birth of the Anti-christ and find out the relationship he has with ice cream.

The curse of the Omen has fallen on the sound quality a bit as there is a bit of noise in about a third of the way in. Hopefully it won't spoil things too much. Obviously the Devil didn't want this podcast to go out.

ITS CHRISTMAS! So you know what that means. Thats right, ghost stories.

Join us as we watch one of the M R James Ghost Stories for Christmas, 1974's The Treasure of Abbot Thomas.

Its an Edwardian Indiana Jones movie!

Its scary mythological Greek monsters week! Its the film that started the craze, Hammer's The Gorgon.

Hopefully you won't be too petrified! (see what I did there)

Or should that be gorgonised.

A British zombie film thats also a comedy? Yes its Shaun of the Dead.

Did you guess which bit Paul found unintentionally funny?

Join us as we have a warm pint in the Winchester and wait for all this to blow over ;-)

The presence of a murderous energy monster from the dawn of time would do little more than liven up the average morning commute between Redhill and London Bridge. However, when you're Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee you travel first class and you don't expect to have to fight for your lives. Their 1971 complaint to the Railway Ombudsman is still unresolved.

Before the creation of the NHS, the only free medical assistance available in Britain was provided by a crazy organist with a waxwork face made to look like it belongs to Vincent Price. Survival rates were very bad. Noted public health experts Chris and Paul have all the details.

Does "colour" have a "u" in it? Brits think yes, Americans think no. Let's settle this once and for all by travelling back to 1965 and asking Boris Karloff. We could also make an adaption of H P Lovecraft's The Colour/Color Out of Space whilst we're there.

Legendary ghost story writer MR James was finally brought to the big screen in 1957 with Jacques Tourneur's Night of the Demon. Based on Casting the Runes, which, somewhat oddly, is not a ghost story. The perfect A Very British Horror subject matter.
