One of horror’s biggest icons returns as Leatherface makes his triumphant return. We dive deep into The Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise as a whole and where this new film stacks up. We asked you guys what horror film you’re most excited for this month and we go over the results of our Twitter poll. Finally we find time to discuss the highs and lows of the SNES Classic. 

Leatherface screened at the FrightFest in London. It’s available now on DirecTV with a limited theatrical run and full VOD release on October 20, 2017.

We are back to talk spoiler free about a brand new horror film that we were fortunate enough to catch an early screening of as this week we discuss The Ritual. University reunions, strange imagery and Northern Sweden will be broken down in detail. Finally some actual Terminator news has happened that we need to discuss and potentially get excited for. A massive slew of new films get release dates including IT Part 2 and more. 

The Ritual is out in UK cinemas on Friday 13th October and coming to Netflix at a later date

Hot on the heels of IT comes another big cinema horror release as we return to discuss mother! Can this great horror resurgence continue? Hear our thoughts on this widely divisive film now. Elsewhere Jamie Lee Curtis is returning to Haddonfield which has us both excited and nervous for the future. And after a great question on twitter; we cast our own adult version of the Losers Club with whom we want to see in the next IT film.

Mother! is available in cinemas worldwide now.

IT’s finally here. After all the anticipation and hype; the biggest horror film of the year has arrived. We give our full verdict on IT and whether it lived up to expectations after a record breaking weekend at the box office. We’re sure this won’t be the last time we discuss this film on the show. Some of our listeners (that’s you!) also give their thoughts on the film that everyone is talking about. We wrap things up by talking about the premiere of American Horror Story and why we really hope they turn things around.  

IT is available now in cinemas worldwide.

The second of our FrightFest special shows see us discuss the much maligned Death Note. The adaptation of the popular manga and anime arrived on Netflix recently and we have some thoughts. Viewing the film from two different perspectives (Matt has seen the anime, Mike has not), we discuss the good and the bad of one of the most debated films of 2017 so far. Also discussed is Creep 2’s release date and the Switch gets yet another fantastic game added to it’s library.

FrightFest 2017 has sadly passed but now the fun begins for us as we get to discuss the films we saw this year. There’s only one place we can start and that is with the world premiere of Cult Of Chucky that opened this year’s festival. The seventh Chucky installment is officially out October 3rd and we give you the lowdown on whether this film should be on your radar or not. There will be also more films that we saw at FrightFest covered in the future so stay tuned for that. After all that excitement we briefly touch upon the Game of Thrones finale and why sometimes games that are on your backlog are there for a reason. 

Cult of Chucky is released worldwide on October 3rd on DVD, Blu-Ray & Digital

Annabelle: Creation is the latest entry in the extended Conjuring universe. Surely it can’t be as bad as the last Annabelle film right? We give you our verdict on this release and talk the potential for the overall franchise going forward. James Cameron continues to provide us with weekly Terminator updates with a little help from Arnold Schwarzenegger. We saw a early scene from IT and discuss why maybe it wasn’t the best idea to show us this particular scene. Finally we revive an old feature that can’t be killed off. Not even by Jamie Lee Curtis.

68 Kill is the story of one couple’s journey of mayhem as a robbery goes wrong and leads them both down a path where only bad things will happen. We check out this brand new comedy horror that just arrived on demand this past week and give a very strong verdict on if it’s worth checking out or not. There was a ton of horror news to get through including when we might see the return of Ash vs Evil Dead. We tackle the best found footage films for this week’s top 5 and really struggle to only fit 5 in. Finally we played Tacoma and Patapon and weren’t really impressed by either sadly.

Hounds of Love is the latest horror release to leave Australia and follows a sadistic couple who kidnap a young girl for their own entertainment. This film is from a first time writer and director and really blew us away. Certainly a good discussion to be had about this film. It’s trailers galore this week as we see our first glimpses at Jigsaw and Stranger Things 2. Our top 5 horror novel adaptations is maybe our strongest list to date and we also run through the listener suggestions before picking a winner for our first ever giveaway. We end this week on the highs and lows of a ink based shooter.
