Welcome to Horror

So, episode 101; something a bit different.

In the grand tradition of the long-running BBC series, we present “Room 101”.

The team have been given a list of categories, and attempt to get their choices sent forever into Room 101, which contains “the worst thing in the world…”

Categories are “Worst Horror Film”

“Worst Horror Performance”

“Worst Genre Trope”

“Worst Cinema Experience”

Along the way we discuss Nigel Kneale’s adaptation of Orwell’s “1984”, “Truth Seekers”, “Christine”, “The American Nightmare”, “Key & Peele” and the books of George Mann.

Nothing to watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoilers this week, just perform the mandatory 2 minutes hate and join us.

Wow. No one, least of all us, thought we’d get to 100 Episodes. To mark this milestone; we return, in a way, to our very first episode (where we watched Hammer Films’ 2012 adaptation) and sit down in front of the 1989 TV Movie of “The Woman In Black”. A film in which Harry Potter’s dad commits arson; a foetal Andy Nyman enthuses over Charlie Chaplin’s eating disorder; and a dog becomes very excited by the scent of trouser sausage.

Along the way we discuss “Deathgasm”, “The Mandalorian” and (for some fucked up reason) Agatha Christie.

Episode 99 takes us to a small isolated farmhouse as the team experience George A Romero’s game changer “Night of the Living Dead”.

A film which teaches us to always check the small print (or lack thereof); that armed posses can be somewhat trigger happy (who’d a thunk it?); and that offal is best served raw, and on the lawn, at night.

Along the way we discuss “The Monster Club”, “Come To Daddy”, “The Crow”, “The Vast of Night”, “The Haunting of Bly Manor” and “The Wolf of Snow Hollow”.

It’s only taken us 98 episodes to finally turn our attention to undisputed classic, slasher blueprint and seasonal favourite John Carpenter’s “Halloween”. A film in which Jamie Lee Curtis hides in the wardrobe and Donald Pleasence hides in a bush; heavy breathing phone calls are very popular; the local Sheriff apparently doesn’t recognise the smell of weed; and Michael Myers has a dog for dinner.

Along the way we discuss “Never Hike In The Snow”, “The Running Man”, “The Halloween Tree”, “The Babysitter: Killer Queen” and the VR version of “Doom: Annihilation”

“The Most Ambitious Crossover Event In History” is finally here! (only 2 years after that meme was last relevant).

Yes! Snobby Bobby and Crude Rude Dude of the mighty Not For Everyone Podcast, and Chris, Lee and Adam from the incredible Welcome To Horror finally come together (not like that!) to discuss all things Halloween.

We had an amazing time recording this, and hope you all enjoy it too! A little Halloween bonus gift from the “Welcome To Everyone” team. Happy Halloween

Heads-up! It’s another family friendly, feel-good romp from Ari Aster, as we watch his stark debut “Hereditary”. A film which features a great deal of old-person nudity; reminds you to take your bloody EpiPen with you to social gatherings (parties, funerals etc); and demonstrates that not picking up after yourself is how you get ants.

Along the way we discuss Alan Moore’s “Show Pieces”, “Scare Me”, “Hubie Halloween”, “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” and the BBC Radio adaptation of “Children of the Stones”.

And so it begins. The nights are drawing in, the leaves are beginning to turn orange and fall from the trees, and it’s the season for spooky stories around the fire. Yes folks, it’s time for us to examine Tim Burton’s Sleepy Hollow (fnar!). A film that features 3 Sith Lords, Queen Elizabeth the First, Dumbledore the Second and a Terrible C*nt.

Along the way we discuss “The Evil Within”, “Haxan”, “Apaches”, “Dead Hooker In A Trunk” and “Utopia”.

The team gathers around the 8mm projector to view 2012’s perfectly named “Sinister” from Blumhouse Films.

A film that teaches you that you never go into Dad’s office, that you never ignore a scared Sheriff’s Deputy and, perhaps most fundamentally, you never deliberately move your already dysfunctional family into a fucking crime scene!

Along the way we discuss ITV true crime drama “Des” and 2007’s “Headless Horseman”.

Ear defenders at the ready as the team tackle their loudest film to date: Sam Raimi’s 2009 return to horror: “Drag Me To Hell”.

A film that teaches you to keep your mouth clamped shut near bodily fluids, to always check the contents your envelopes and never hesitate to fuck over that one wanker at work.

Along the way we discuss “It: Chapter 2”, “Gretel & and Hansel” and “Jesus Shows You The way To The Highway”

From the Yankee Pedlar, the gang move on to the Bates Motel, for absolute bloody classic “Psycho”.

An establishment noted for it’s bathroom facilities, with En Suite peepholes at no extra cost. Previous guests have recommended catching a late sandwich with the genial young manager, in his sinister Taxidermy room. Parking is not a problem, simply deposit your vehicle in the swamp at the rear of the property, and it can be winched free on your departure.

Along the way we discuss “The Hollow”, “Cracker”, “Sorry To Bother You” and “Ghost of a Chance”.
