Hypnogoria

The Zombi Zombi series continues with a very special reading of the true origin of the walking dead. Mr Jim Moon presents the original account of zombieism "Dead Men Working in the Cane Fields" from William Seabrook's book The Magic Island. We go on to learn much more of voodoo, Haiti, its history and, of course, its zombies...

In this special tie-in episode of From the Great Library of Dreams, we sample a tale of caribbean terror from Henry S Whitehead, the classic Jumbee, and learn more of the strange lore of the supernatural that lies within the origins of the zombie!

In this episode, Mr Jim Moon resurrects his Zombi Zombi series, and this time we are going right back to the beginning! In this show we unearth the earliest accounts of the zombi, hearing strange tales of haunted islands, voodoo rites, and discover something a little different to what you might be expecting!

This week Mr Jim Moon presents a tale from an unexpected source. For while John Buchan is best known for his adventure novels, such as the much filmed The 39 Steps, he also used to dabble in weird fiction too. And so tonight we present a tale of darkest Africa, ancient temples, and strange powers!

In this episode, Mr Jim Moon has a flip through a battered but much loved tome in the Great Library of Dreams, a huge favourite with monster-obsessed kids in the 1970s and 1980s - the Hamlyn Book of Horror by Daniel Farson!

In a special episode, Mr Jim Moon pays tribute to the life and career of John Hurt, looking back over a personal selection of his most outstanding roles.

This week in the Great Library of Dreams, we are returning to the Stoneground Ghost Tales, written by EG Swain, a good friend of the great MR James. In this story we hear of how Mr Batchell acquired a rather nice photograph of the vicarage at Stoneground, and what was discovered with the picture was enlarged...

In the third and final part of his round-up of horror cinema from 2016, Mr Jim Moon looks at Don't Breathe, Lights Out, The Invitation, Green Room and The Witch.

Mr Jim Moon continues his retrospective on notable horror movies and fright flicks from the tyre-fire that was 2016, this time rounding up a selection of films from international productions! Under the watchful eye of Hypnogoria comes The Boy, The Autopsy of Jane Doe, Baskin, Train to Busan and Under the Shadow.

Looking back, it seems that 2016 was quite a good year for horror cinema, and hence we begin a three part round-up of notable fright flicks from last year. In this first episode, Mr Jim Moon takes a look at some of the notable sequels and prequels that emerged - Insidious Chapter 3, The Conjuring 2, Blair Witch and Ouija: Origin of Evil. And as a bonus we also take a look at Mike Flanagan's creepy and dark cat-n-mouse thriller Hush
