A Year In Horror

This week I met up with bass player Jerry Montano, at one time or another he has been a member of Hellyeah, Mortiis, Nothingface & Danzig amongst a stack more & we chat about his history with horror & a little regarding our thoughts on the 1992 banger Brandead aka Dead Alive, it's as sharp as a brand new lawn mower blade raging towards your face!

Special guest, Sam Fogarino, drummer with New York indie-rock legends Interpol speaks with us today about the 1990 banger Jacob's Ladder. Plus we get into his introduction to horror movies, the church & a ton of stuff about the Interpol, Kiss and The Normal as well. It was a pleasure.

It's time for one of those huge episodes. Well, it's a three parter anyways. 1963 was not the most ground breaking year for horror movies, well, as far as the big hitter films are concerned anyways. The highs are really high & the lows are few & far between. But, what do I think was the very greatest horror movie that came out during 1963? 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 over 4 hours of running time split over 3 episodes. This is 1963, A Year In Horror.

Today sees the UK cinema release of Doctor Jekyll. The very movie that is re-launching the mother of all UK horror studios, Hammer Films. I was invited to the Red Carpet premier, I had a plus one, invited my good chum in Howard H Smith from Talking Bollocks podcast & we documented the evening in podcastular form. That's what we do. Here are the results.

I am aware now that Eddie Izzard prefers now the pronouns of she/her and I want to make it clear that at the time of the recording of the podcast I was still under the impression that her pronouns were fluid. After a quick google search I found that that changed in 2020. Apologies.

Whoooooaaaaaaahhhhhhh shiiiiiiiiiii

Back with a smily face & a deep breath before you press play. This is a catch up with the lead actor from the 2022 released movie, Annie Hardie (the 2021 film festival run can not be included, c'mon you know the drill on A Year In Horror by now). It's been a couple of years since Dashcam was having its festival run & I wanted to get the lowdown from her on how she feels about the movie with this space in between its release & right now. How does anyone cope with the social media attacks like she faced, well, I asked. This episode is the result. 

I ramble on for maybe 15 minutes before the interview with Annie begins. 

Enjoy

What an episode this is. Today we welcome London May onto the show to discuss his music & of course the Serbian extreme horror movie, A Serbian Film. London reached out to director Srđan Spasojević for information about the film & what he received back was mind blowing. We discuss this thing in detail. I hope you enjoy it s much as I did putting it together.

It's time for one of those massive episodes. Well, it's a four parter anyways. 2008 was a pretty low key year for horror movies. Of course there were tons of them released but except for the likes of Cloverfield & the fifth Saw sequel, I don't recall the world in general going nuts for any of this stuff. Looking at my findings today, it appears that with horror we looked away from America for the real gems . But what do I think was the very greatest horror movie that came out during '08? 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 5+ hour running time split over 3 episodes. This is the 2008, A Year In Horror.

• 0.34 - Cloverfield
• 6.24 - Let The Right One In (w/ Mark Morris)
• 41.58 - Eden Lake
• 53.36 - Martyrs (w/ Zoe Rose Smith)
• 1.33.20 - Outro
