This Week's Apocalypse

Kevin is busy getting married this week so, instead of our usually scheduled programming we instead decided to have a chat about a not-so-Killer-Bride movie we watched by mistake.

 WARNING!: May contain STING.

Weddings can be stressful at the best of times, but none more so when the bride goes on a bloodthirsty rampage!

Can Kevin and John learn enough from movies to figure out the killer, while simultaneously unloading a few boxes of spiders as wedding favours...?

It's coven against coven this week as the boys try to fend off a hex with some witchery of their own.

the only way to survive is with a little bit of that Hollywood Magick...

Someone is messing with minds on a grand scale, using secret transmissions from an unknown location to boost their profit margins!

Luckily for Kevin, John has a nice comfy shed and plenty of tinfoil to keep the bad signals out, but will that be enough to stave off madness of these mind-altering waves?

Only movies can tell us!

A nice weekend in the woods has become a brutal fight survival, as the boys run out of delicious snacks.

Can they keep their cannibalistic travelling companion at bay long enough to watch three movies about Wendigos?

There can be only one! But sometimes even one is too many.

This week some newly minted immortals are causing traffic chaos, making Kevin and John late for a very important scuba appointment.

Decapitation is always a last resort, so they turn to the more thoughtful end of the immortal-cinema spectrum, in search of more colourful solutions...

Luckily the cinema of COSMIC HORROR is on hand to answer any personal questions they might have about their new appendages...
