Welcome to Horror

Here’s a cheeky little episode we’re sneaking into the schedule to discuss Jordan Peele’s “Nope”, which is very much a full recommendation from everyone at WTH!

A strange tale that unfolds into a beautiful, terrifying whole (much like it’s main antagonist); where Keke Palmer gets to recreate an iconic anime moment; Brandon Perea gets sucked off to the tune of “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” and Daniel Kaluuya starts a macabre coin collection.

It seems Mr Peele has finally won over Lee with this extraterrestrial cross between a Western and “Jaws” with added Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Men - watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoilers, and join us.

Welcome To Horror Presents: “The Ghost of We Have Been Watching”.

It’s that movie recap moment as we discuss what has been entering our brains via our eyes and ears from the glowing screens we can never, ever be free of.

In this episode we discuss “Inside No.9” (again), Rob Zombie’s “The Munsters”, “Men”, “Scream Queens”, “Love, Death + Robots”, “Hocus Pocus 2” and “The Man Who Haunted Himself” (with a spirited defence of “Hellraiser: Bloodline” thrown in for good measure).

It’s the second feature of our ‘Camp Horror’ double bill - “Elvira: Mistress of the Dark”.

A family friendly, innuendo laced film which contains an OAP orgy; the voice of Boobarella (and hundreds more) and that guy from “Ghostbusters II”/“Wayne’s World” (delete as applicable). We learn that, in a different continuum, this could have been part of a famous director’s already macabre CV, with a very stella supporting cast. And you should never work with children (written in at the Producer’s request) or animals (if they’re a psychopathic poodle).

A horror/comedy that sadly failed to make Elvira a movie star, but did spread the profile of this horror icon overseas - watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoilers, and join us.

September features a double bill of “Camp Horror”, and we kick off with “All About Evil” directed by Joshua Grannell aka Peaches Christ.

A film for movies lovers everywhere as talking on your phone in the cinema becomes a capital crime; Elvira embraces her maternal side; and Mink Stole learns the end of that rhyme about snitches.

“All About Evil” always felt set to be a cult classic and deserves far greater recognition. Now, with Natasha Lyonne’s star in the ascendant, streaming on Shudder and an excellent bluray from Severin Films, hopefully more people will get to see this macabre comedy - watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoilers, and join us.

Something a bit different for this, our 150th episode, as Lee, Chris and Adam pit their wits against each other in a game of “Goth - The Game of Horror Trivia”.

A board game originally published by McNutty Games in 2002; this was a mainstay of Saturday nights for all the cool kids before podcasting came along (well, Lee, Adam and Lady Jennifer anyway).

So, will Chris romp to victory with all the trivia he’s amassed over the past 149 episodes? Will Adam reveal the depths of his ignorance without his notes in front of him? Will Lee be unfairly penalised by Quiz Master Jennifer, as is traditional?

Join us and find out.

Welcome To Horror Presents: “Son of We Have Been Watching”.

It’s time for our regular round up of what extracurricular viewing we’ve been sticking into our face globes.

In this episode we discuss “Prey”, Series 4 Part 2 of “Stranger Things”, “Wild Zero”, “Mad God”, “Everything Everywhere All At Once”, “The UFO Incident”, occult radio comedy “Damned Andrew”, “Ash Vs Evil Dead” and “The Umbrella Academy”.

Audience request month continues with Roger Corman’s “The Pit and The Pendulum”.

A film in which a grief-stricken Vincent Price keeps his dead wife’s bedroom exactly as she left it, and similarly ensures that his dead father’s torture chamber is well oiled and fully functional; the local Doctor is a bit overfamiliar, and happy to sign off on DIY home internment; and we get the thesaurus out to namecheck all the synonyms for Hell.

The second of AIP’s “Poe Cycle”, where Richard Matheson ditches Poe’s 2 pages of 19th Century torture porn and turns it into a 85 minute Medieval whodunnit - watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoilers, and join us.

Audience request month kicks off with a train journey as we climb aboard the “Horror Express”.

A film in which Christopher Lee’s moustache bristles with traditional British pomposity; Peter Cushing’s wallet brims with traditional British bribery; Rasputin comes a cropper with a copper; and Inter-Narrational Fiction Pirate Captain Kojak invades from a completely different movie.

A truly international film - a British/Spanish co-production about a Russian locomotive travelling from China across Siberia getting waylaid by a New York Cossack, this plays like “The Thing” on a train, but is so much more mental than that already sounds - watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoilers, and join us.
