Tea For Terror

On this episode, Erika Bean, Rich Johnson and Andrew Graves take a long hard look at the stars whether they be a billion miles away or hovering over the violent beaches of Brighton beach to consider cult films and 'INVASION'. Expect cross-dressing Transylvanians, apartheid aliens and disgruntled mods as the gang yap on about tonnes of choice flicks including Repo Man (1984), The Bay (2012), District 9 (2009) and loads more. Take us to your leader or at least put the kettle on. 

On this episode, Erika Bean, Rich Johnson and Andrew Graves, get all holier than thou and plunge into the murky world of cult cinema and the seven deadly sins.

The trio will cram themselves into the confessional booth and examine films like Deep End (1970), The Return of Ringo (1965), The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert (1994) and loads more. Say ten Hail Marys and listen to this episode now.

 

On this episode, Erika Bean, Rich Johnson and Andrew Graves, get all ‘hell and damnation’ and delve into the heady world of cult cinema and ‘possession’.

The power of Christ compels you to listen to this episode. 

On this episode, Erika Bean, Rich Johnson and Andrew Graves make no effort to try and cheer you up or take your minds off this whole social distancing lark, instead they revel in our collective unease and dedicate a two-hour plus show to the theme of ‘Isolation’. Expect endless chat about Martin (1977), Repulsion (1965), Rebecca (1940), Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) and loads more. Welcome to Mondo Moviehouse, is there anybody out there? 

On the first of the new format episodes, Erika Bean, Rich Johnson and Andrew Graves, ponder examples of shrinking within the realms of cult cinema. The trio offer their views and theories on movies like Dr Cyclops (1940), Fantastic Voyage (1966) and loads more, and lose themselves in a terrifying world where giant cats stalk the living room, lawns become jungles and the inner human body is a vast battlefield of exotic danger. Welcome to Mondo Moviehouse: where size does matter.  

On this episode, the last of our usual format episodes, Rich Johnson, Andrew Graves and brand new team member, Erika Bean, plunder the Lovecraftian creation that is Richard Stanley's Color out of Space. They assess the director's previous efforts, hold up the film's merits as a successful adaptation and wrap their tentacles around the anomaly that is Nicholas Cage. The trio will also revisit care home hokum Bubba Ho-Tep in the final ever outing of Charity Chainsaw. You have been warned. 

On this episode, Andrew Graves and Rich Johnson travel to yet another mysterious island in search of the undead, cannibals, and some mad doctor who looks like the crack-den version of Harvey Keitel. Marino Girolami's Zombie Holocaust is an early eighties piece of Italian exploitation cinema, which borrows heavily from both Zombie Flesh Eaters and Cannibal Holocaust, but will the duo find it a satisfying meal, or discover they’ve bitten off more than they can chew. The pair will also look at Millennial British horror The Cottage, in Charity Chainsaw. You Have been warned. 

On this episode, Andrew Graves and Rich Johnson wander unwisely into the world of Tales that Witness Madness, where they fall in love with a tree trunk, get taken back to past on a penny farthing and then get eaten by an imaginary tiger. Together they explore the history of the portmanteau horror film, examine Dead of Night, Amicus and American offerings like Creepshow and Twilight Zone the Movie, and ponder the appeal of these daft little films. They also toy with 1988 slasher, Child’s Play in Charity Chainsaw. You have been warned. 

On this episode, Andrew Graves and Rich Johnson sleepwalk their way into the Danish nightmare that is Vampyr(1932). The film, directed by Carl Dreyer, is a sort of semi-silent waking dream full of off-kilter images, and unlike many American productions it is less influenced by German expressionism than it is more abstract movements like surrealism and Dada. But will this thirties piece still feel fresh or should it be left to rot in the shadowy graveyard? The Mondo team will also re-examine the often-overlooked Hitchcock production, Stage Fright(1950) in regular feature Charity Chainsaw. You have been warned. 

It’s the first of our special episodes. On this one, Rich Johnson and Andrew Graves explore the weird twilight world where children’s programming and horror cross over in an unpredictably twisted fashion. Welcome to MONDO MOVIEHOUSE MEETS KIDS TELLY. Expect a robot bigfoot, a warped scarecrow, and a soggy old cloth cat. Are you sitting uncomfortably? Good, then we’ll begin…
