Welcome to the Sci-Fi Horror Sector here on the United Nations of Horror! This week, Mark joins Becky and Lucard for our big monthly special to take a look at perhaps the Granddaddy of all television Sci-Fi, Quatermass! Anthony Rotolo discusses the Quatermass television series in TV. Terror! From there, we go on to talk in-depth about all 3 Hammer Quatermass films. It’s a great possibility that if it weren’t for Quatermass, there would never have been Hammer Horror. So buckle up and prepare for the rocket ride of a lifetime; and remember, we are the martians!

This week on the United Nations of Horror, Lucard and Becky are left alone to man the UNH ship due to numerous technical issues beyond our control caused by the very evil entity of Candyman! That’s right, we’re going to take a look at the classic 1992 film. This horrible ghost feeds on the suffering and poverty of those in the dilapidated Chicago housing project of Cabrini–Green. But what can be his reason? We’ll discuss and find out. We have call-in feedback from Mark on the film and from Matt to discuss the original Clive Barker short story. Meanwhile, our good friend Anthony from TV. Terror takes a look at another horror tv. classic by the name of Alone in the Dark. As always, we’ll discuss what we’ve been watching.

Last but certainly not least, we pay homage to our favorite horror movie podcast, Horror Etc. and what they have meant to us throughout the year. From all of us at here at the United Nations of Horror, thank you so much Horror Etc. You will be very missed.

Quelle Horreur! In the latest episode of UNH, Matt, Mike and Becky welcome back Lucard (hourra indeed!) to talk in-depth about New French Extremity staple, Martyrs (2008).

The team touches on earlier influences of extremism in French cinema and, as this is the first instalment in the UNH extreme cinema series, we “wade in rivers of viscera” and “spumes of sperm” to discuss some of the many films that make up New French Extremity.

On top of this we also discuss what we’ve been watching, including:

DALLAS BUYERS CLUB

MACBETH

X-FILES

TRICK OR TREAT

INTOUCHABLES

REGRESSION

FRANKLIN: A SYMPHONY OF HORROR

SON OF THE ENDLESS NIGHT / PATIENT #151 [BOOK]

This week, Matt and Becky choose the podcast recommendation: NOT IN A CREEPY WAY. Brothers Eric, Jason, and Drew Anderson “probe deeply” into movies, TV, music, and pop culture – but not in a creepy way. It’s one of our favourite podcasts, and Eric is of course a valued member of the UNH community. You can find him and episodes of the podcast through the following links:

They will make cemeteries their cathedrals and the cities will be your tombs.

In this week’s episode of the United Nations of Horror, Mike, Mark, Matt and M(B)ecky have a fun, pustulous time with Lamberto Bava’s Italian gore-fest DEMONS (1985). We also discuss Bava’s sequel, DEMONS 2, briefly. That’s how much we love you.

However, before we crack on with the main feature, we talk about the things we’ve caught this week. This includes an insight from UNH’s very own Grinch, aka the Master of the New Release, Mike, on the contentious Martyrs remake.

In our second podcast of 2016, we cover a Japanese movie often held as a classic horror tale, Onibaba (1964).
