Tea For Terror

On this episode, host Andrew Graves and James Whittington (NYX TV/The Horror Channel/Legend) slip on their Silver Shamrock masks and go poking about the creepy looking factory at the edge of town, to try and figure out what’s going down in Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982). A departure from the original franchise, this cult horror flick is an entertaining and divisive offering – featuring cinema’s most addictive jingle.

On this episode, host Andrew Graves and filmmaker Emma Dark go in search of a Marvel adaption that has some real teeth. Before the overtly formulaic limitations of the MCU came Blade (1998). Leaping from the pages of The Tomb of Dracula back in the 70s, Blade became one of the first black super-powered dudes to spring from the white dominated world of the American comic book. Here, Stephen Norrington directs leading man Wesley Snipes in a smart, action packed and bloody thrill ride.

On this episode, host Andrew Graves and writer Erika Bean (and baby Riley) cast a critical eye on Alice Lowe’s superbly subversive 21st century horror film Prevenge (2016). Discussing pregnancy on film, comedy and horror and modern female directors, they wander the maternity ward in search of answers…and probably some baby wipes.

On this episode, host Andrew Graves and performance poet Matt Duffy AKA Thick Richard, stupidly decide to mess around with the puzzle box and come face to face with Pinhead and co. Narrowly avoiding being torn asunder by the Cenobites, they babble on about HellBound: Hellraiser II and try to make some sense of this world and the next. It’s time to play.

On this episode, host Andrew Graves and Nicholas Vince (Chatterer from Hellraiser) discuss The Masque of the Red Death (1964), digging deep into Roger Corman’s Poe cycle, Nicolas Roeg and of course Vincent Price. Expect horror, plagues and lots of Chatterer chat.

On this episode, host Andrew Graves and Lee Gambin from Cinemaniacs go into the cellar to discuss vermin-infested chiller Willard (1971). Starring Bruce Davison, Ernest Borgnine and Elsa Lanchester, this cult favourite directed by Daniel Mann, elevates itself from mere creature feature to something smart, beautiful and unforgettable, a rat-race obsessed critique of American attitudes and decaying morality.

On this episode, Andrew Graves and tattooist and part-time drag-queen, Boff Konkerz AKA Gloria Sync, share a pot of tea, spread the tarot cards and discuss the aesthetically enchanting, yet disturbingly tragic chiller, The Love Witch (2016). Written, directed and produced by Anna Biller, it’s a cool, beautiful piece of highly original 21st century horror. Come and be part of its spell.

On this episode, Andrew Graves and Tom Gigliotti from Shout It Out Loudcast, slap on the greasepaint and spandex and go for a spin on the roller coaster and investigate the cheapo bin fire that is KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park (1978). Less Hard Day’s Night and more trick-or-treat kiddie show, will this Hanna-Barbera TV movie make them want to Rock and Roll all Nite or have them reaching for the Cold Gin?

On this episode, host Andrew Graves, and creator/original editor of horror mag We Belong Dead, Eric McNaughton, find their backyard overrun by ants. Though they try dowsing the little sods with boiling water and all forms of pesticide they eventually resort to an atomic bomb. What could possibly go wrong? So, begins their delve into science fiction creature feature Them! (1954)

On this episode, host Andrew Graves, and filmmaker and author Sean Hogan go on holiday to the seedy, terrifyingly bleak backwash locale of Point Dume, California, where they find themselves in a confusing mystery of murder, cannibalism and dark magic. With nothing to munch on but live rats, it’s going to be a distinctly long and strange trip.
