This week we put down the dice and talk about films instead. Specifically, we each choose the five films we found most frightening and then ramble on about them for a while. Even once Paul cut most of the digressions (including a section on Eden Lake, which probably should have been on my list), we still had an hour of this.

These aren’t necessarily our favourite horror movies (some of them aren’t horror movies at all, and at least one is unlikely to be anyone’s favourite), but they are the films that scared us most when we watched them.

There are a few spoilers, but we avoided them for any film made in the last ten years. Matt did complain about us spoiling one film until we pointed out that it is older than he is.

Speaking of spoilers, the films we chose are listed below, along with IMDB links. If you would prefer not to know what they are before you listen to the episode, look away now.

Paul:

* Carry on Screaming

* Salem’s Lot

* Friday the 13th

* Event Horizon

* The Blair Witch Project

Scott:

* Repulsion

* Threads

* Come and See

* Ju-on: The Grudge

* Martyrs

Matt:

* Manos: The Hands of Fate

* Duel

* Brazil

* The Thing

* Hellraiser

Happy listening, and try not to have nightmares. Especially not about Torgo’s knees.
