The Evolution of Horror

In order to avoid any uninvited guests, Mike ropes in his wife, broadcaster and film critic Rhianna Dhillon for this week's discussion as they explore awkward interactions and heavy-handed metaphors in Joel Edgertono's THE GIFT and Darren Aronofsky's MOTHER!

Music by Jack Whitney.

This week we'll be taking a little break from the usual schedule to bring you our live Halloween special! I was joined on stage by Brad Hanson, BEcky Darke and Stevie Webb at the Old Red Lion Theatre as part of Grimfest UK theatre festival on the 31st Halloween! Stevie, Brad, Becky and I discuss our favourite Halloween watches plus we play a game of horror Room 101! Plus, a very special surprise at the end! ENJOY!

An absolute PINCH-ME moment! To celebrate the 4k re-release of Michael Powell's Peeping Tom, Mike sits down with Oscar-winning film editor, Scorsese collaborator and Michael Powell's widow, Thelma Schoonmaker, to discuss her thoughts on the film and on her career to date.

This week Mike is joined by Rue Morgue & Faculty of Horror's Andrea Subissati to discuss the awkward horror of dinner parties with an incredible double bill of recent horror gems...THE INVITATION (2015) and SPEAK NO EVIL (2022).
