This week we walk the streets of Bad City, somewhere in Iran, for Ana Lily Amirpour's A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night, the 'first Iranian vampire western.' Wear your shades.

Vampire Season continues with Catherine Hardwicke's much-maligned 2008 adaptation of teen vamp blockbuster publishing sensation Twilight.  He's 'the world's most dangerous predator'.... Honest.

We don capes and do rather more accents that we expected to exhume Tod Browning's truly iconic Dracula, the film that launched Universal's genre-defying run of 1930s horror and casts a menacing shadow even over today's cinema. 

This week on Haunted Picture Palace we look at a film that required special dispensation from the Swedish censors to be made, Victor Sjöström's pioneering 1921 proto-horror The Phantom Carriage.

This week we take a look at John Fawcett's year 2000 tale of the fightening changes that take place in your body when you hit puberty, and are bitten by The Beast of Bailey Downs.  Quelle Shocker!

We take our first trip into the world of Hammer Horror as we excavate Roy Ward Baker's 1967 film Quatermass and The Pit, taking in haunted buildings, space-arthropods and machines to read your brains!

Robert Eggers' 2015 feature-film debut The VVitch is now playing at Haunted Picture Palace! We look at faith, loss, temptation and goats as we join a puritan family, pitched against the harsh unforgiving landscape of 1630s New England. You cannot escape the wood.

Episode 4 of Haunted Picture Palace is an excursion into high Gothic as we take in the sumptuous sights and sounds of Allerdale Hall in Guillermo Del Toro's 2015 film Crimson Peak.  Don't drink the tea.

Episode 3 of Haunted Picture Palace and this time we're talking Snake-o-grams, the best in '90s fashions and made-up deities in The Craft (1996)!

Our second episode takes in Manichean dreams, occulted secrets hidden beneath sleeping fields, and the last pagan king in England, as we explore the haunted world of Penda's Fen, from 1974.
