Heavy Metal Horror Cast

Based on the Marvel comics of the same name, Blade focuses on our titular hero, a half-man, half-vampire hybrid, who dedicates his nights (and days) to combating his bloodsucking enemies. Sooz looks at the trilogy of films that chart the eponymous hunters adventures, from the first films slightly dodgy CGI effects, through to the third films fractious production. Along the way we’ll talk father figures, mummy issues, genetic engineering and disposable characters. So don your fanciest vamp busting leathers, grab those wrap around shades and get ready to kick some undead booty. It’s open season on all suckheads, so remember: keep your eyes open. They're everywhere...

Cor blimey, guv'nor! We’re taking to the streets of London town, looking at The Big Smoke through the lens of Attack the Block and Cockneys Vs Zombies. Along the way we’ll be taking on legions of the undead with OAP’s in the East End, and the malicious threat of extraterrestrial interlopers with the yoof of inner-city South London. We’ll also be playing a track from the sublime Infected Dead, who blend cosmic Lovecraftian horror with savage Death Metal brutality. So grab your dentures, avoid the Po-Po, and get ready for some Barney. Believe Bruv. *This episode was recorded before the terrorist attack in London on June 3rd. It was with great affection for the city that I recorded the episode, and it is released with great admiration, pride and love. It contains some strong language.

It’s the end of the world as we know it...The streets have been overrun by the marauding masses of the Undead. What are we to do, and more importantly, how exactly are we gonna get to the pub? And where the hell are all the Twinkies? The answers can only be found in this episode, as we explore the logistics of survival through the Zom-Rom-Coms Zombieland and Shaun of the Dead. Is it really as simple as following the rules set out in these films? Only one way to find out. So fasten your safety belt, grab your cricket bat and prepare for some fried gold. Oh, and one more thing. You’ve got red on you...

When there’s something strange, in the neighbourhood, who ya gonna call? Ewww….not girls! Sooz looks at Paul Feig's highly contested Ghostbusters reboot from 2016, which caused the internet to hate-vomit, even before the films release. Then she dares to ask the question: Is it even really that bad….

Stroll on down to the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense, as Sooz natter's Guillermo Del Toro's cinematic adaptation of Hellboy, the demon born with the prophesied destiny to bring about the apocalypse, who instead devotes his life to thwarting the forces of evil. We'll look at Hellboy, Hellboy 2: The Golden Army and the now cancelled prospect of a third film, and what that may have entailed. We'll also chat an awesome SFX project The Conduit, a film which pays homage to the creature movies of the 80's and 90's, which will contain exclusively practical effects. So grab a six pack and light up a stogie, as we chat the lovable big red brute, his supernatural crime bustin' pals and the glorious fabrications of Del Toro's fantastic imagination.

She saved the world. A lot. 20 years after we were welcomed to the Hellmouth, Buffy is still as relevant and talked about now, as she was in 1997. Sooz takes a look back at the reluctant chosen one, charts the importance of the Scooby gang, and generally enthuses about everything Slayer shaped. So head to the Bronze, beware the bunnies and embrace your inner cookie dough, as we head back to Sunnydale and laugh in the face of danger. Then hide until it goes away. Have a nice day. Don’t get killed.

Hail to the King Baby! It's been 25 years since the release of Army of Darkness, the final chapter of Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead trilogy. To celebrate, Sooz has a retrospective of the madcap medieval movie, which exchanges scary shenanigans in the confines of a cabin, for 13th century comedic capers. The film has gained iconic status, and is one of the most well loved and quotable movies of all time, for good reason. So grab your boomstick, chainsaw and say hello to Mr Fancypants, it’s gonna get Groovy. Come get some!

It's Women in Horror month, and to celebrate Sooz chats influential ladies from the genre. From Killer Queens, to Fierce Final Girls, Sooz champions her top 5 chicks from 5 different aspects of horror storytelling. So grab your chainsaws and sharpen your claws, as we look at some of the biggest bad asses, and scariest Mamas captured on celluloid.

Hey Kids! Comics! Horror comics, we're spoilt for choice these days, and we love it! Sooz looks at 6 titles from different publishers that span the genre. From psychological thrillers to romance, to hell on earth, there's something for everyone. So with sage (or is that garlic) advice from Grandpa, climb aboard the Love Boat, watch out for some bad cockney impersonations and maybe burn a church or two (please don't) as we traverse the heady world of frightful fiction. It's enough to make you gnaw your fingernails with excitement! * We'll also be playing a couple of tracks from the awesome Heavy Rockers Fliptop Box.

* Please note: Bad habits may induce serial killing side effects. For more information, please consult the episode.

2016 was a pretty crappy year, apart from when it came to television. That was stonking! Sooz takes a look at the world of horror telly, and gives her top 5 shows from the year that really did really drag its heals everywhere else! What makes the list? Tune in to find out!
