A Year In Horror

Today we head over to France for a chat with Karen Jebane, aka Golem Mechanique in celebration of her latest release "Siamo tutti in pericolo". An album that is inspired by the works of director Pier Paolo Pasolini, the man that directed Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom . So I did the maths and this conversation was the result.

Episode 300 is here! Its been 4+ years and there has been 4+ beers but this time around we have finally caught up with Cheekface. Straight outta California and thankfully unscathed from the recent horrific wild fires there we welcome Amanda Tannen to the show to speak with us about Jennifer Kent's 2014 trauma tastic THE BABADOOK.

It's time for one of those huge episodes. Well, it's a four parter anyways. 1989 was an okay year for horror movies but for me it felt like the beginning of the end of a certain style of horror that really came to prominence in the early 80s. But, what do I think was the very greatest horror movie that came out during 1989? Well, here we have the top 10. The worst 10. A slew of also rans. Some awesome mates. Some special guests. Several pints of beer and a 6+ hour running time split over 4 episodes. This is 1989, A Year In Horror.

Here we go, full swing into 2025 with some classic 70s horror and a thrashy, metallic but most of all, crusty punk band. Its Igor Amadeus Cavalera from GO AHEAD AND DIE. We touch on the music, the writing, the horror history and of course The Tall Man.

Welcome back folks, to a mid month musical adventure with a band I adored back when i discovered them in the 90s. That band is Cell. I spoke with guitarist Ian James about the break up and the reformation of sorts and then we get stuck into the meat of the conversation. A Universal horror movie from back in the 30s no less. THE BLACK CAT. Can you believe it?

Alright! You wanted the best, you got the best. The greatest rock n roll horror movies ever in a neat and organised list. It's Horror Rocks. I watched, rated and ordered 74 movies from 1971 to 2024 in order to attempt to figure out just what exactly could be the greatest of them all. Joining me on my journey are several guests, drinking several Jack and Cokes over a glorious 4 episodes full of ripping riffs, pummelling drums and voices so stretched they are at breaking point. This is Horror Rocks.
