So I Married A Horror Fan

In this week's episode we are taking a look at the 1986 version of Little Shop of Horrors starring Rick Moranis & Steve Martin.

We discuss our seperate relationships with this movie including Simon's completely normal, not at all weird fear of Audrey II.

Is this movie a horror film? We take a look and discuss some of the movie's darker themes and moments.

We talk about the film's iconic songs, how they have stood the test of time and pick our favourites.

The cast and characters get assessed. Are we really just rooting for an alien plant this whole time?

We look at the different versions of the film, stage show, alternate endings and erm…the animated series, as well as discussing the now cancelled proposed remake.

All of this and lots more weird and wonderful stuff in this week's fun filled chaotic episode.

In this month's Crossing the Stream, we are packing up our Ukuleles and heading off on a zombie filled field trip with 2019's Australian Horror Little Monsters.

We talk about the premise of the film and how well it does or doesn't work. As well as how the horror and comedy are balanced.

We talk about how Josh Gad & Lupita Nyong'o both play against type and how they do in their respective roles.

Is this this first movie where a human has bitten a zombie?

How did Taylor Swift get involved in the making of this movie? and Why is she such a big part of it?

We discuss how odd it is seeing a zombie film through the eyes of children. As well as how odd it is too see so many kids casually in peril in a horror film.

We also talk about our favourite moments, things that didn't quite work, and how/why Aussie horror is so different to everything else.

We're back for a second act of Musical Horror! This week we are looking at Tim Burton's adaptation of Stephen Sondheim's Sweeney Todd.

We recall our first time seeing this movie and what our initial impressions were.

Our shared Tim Burton fandom rears its head again, is this his last truly great film?

We talk about the musical and the story of Sweeney Todd and why Simon thought it was based on a real person.

Is this a good musical? Why were so many songs cut out from the original version?

How well does this stand up as a horror film, and why the hell is everything so bleak??

We get into performances across the board and how the cast absolutely make the film what it is.

We also discuss how the way it was filmed adds to some of the film's darker tone, and how it's a much more gruesome interpretation than the stage show.

All this and lots more in this week's episode. Press that play button and join us on a jaunty trip for a pie and a trim…

In this month's Five by Five we are taking a look at our top 5 Unconventional Horror Films. This was a fun one to put together, as we look at a wide range of films that wouldn't normally be considered from Horror, but they can be considered Horror when viewed from a different perspective.

In our last episode of August we sign off our Wes Craven month with Vampire In Brooklyn.

Sandwiched in between New Nightmare & Scream, is this movie overshadowed?

How did Wes Craven & Eddie Murphy end up working together and what do we think of the results?

Tonally this movie is all over the place. Was Eddie Murphy a good fit for horror?

We discuss if this is just a stealth retelling of Dracula or if there is more to it.

We talk about some of the production issues and how the fractured relationship between Director & Star caused some big issues on set.

How are the supporting characters in this and did we really need multiple Eddie Murphy characters?

Is there secretly a really good movie hiding in here somewhere?

What would this movie look like if it were made today and who would make it?

All this and lots more in this week's episode.

In this week's episode we have Craven, Williamson & Werewolves!! one of the biggest missed opportunities and one of the horror world's most infamous productions. That's right this week we are covering Cursed from 2005.

We talk about the production, and the multiple versions of this film that exist and if they will ever see the light of day.

We get into the disjointed nature of the finished product and if it has any redeeming features?

This film is very much a product of the time period it was released, how does it stand up to scrutiny 17 years later.

Is this the most boring and unrelatable cast in a horror movie ever?

Is this the most uninspired werewolf movie ever made?

We get into this and lots more in this interesting look at a wild moment in horror history. Grab yourselves some silver and beware the full moon, as we look to rid ourselves of this cursed film.

In this episode of Crossing the Stream we are looking at The Banana Splits Movie. Childhood nostalgia turns into an Adult nightmare.

We discuss our relationships with the original property. Leigh having never heard of it, whereas it was a huge part of Simon's childhood growing up.

What must the initial pitch been like to get this made?

We talk about the characters and how utterly unrelatable and unlikeable most of them are.

Kills, Kills & more Kills! this is one brutal film, we break down the kills, the gore and just how much this movie surprised us with how far it went.

We get into The Banana Splits themselves and how they are utilised in this movie, as well as some of the films shortcomings and moments where it could have got more creative.

We also have some fun talking about other kids shows we would love to see be given a horror makeover.

We talk about how this movie came out and why Wes decided to return to Freddy Krueger after so long.

How art imitates life and how real world events affected not only the film's story but also its production.

Gothic & Fairy Tale influences and how they shape the rebirth of Freddy Krueger.

Leigh still doesn't like Freddy and discusses her issues with the storytelling on display here.

Simon talks about why he considers the film a masterpiece and how making this movie gave Wes Craven the jolt he needed to make Scream.
