Welcome to Horror

In the final of our Christmas Bonus Episodes, we turn to the BBC’s 2005 adaptation of M.R. James’ “A View From A Hill”.

As well as the film, the convoluted conversation mentions nuclear thriller “Threads”, while Lee tells us in no uncertain terms why he doesn’t watch Torture Porn.

Full disclosure: the gang are pretty wasted at this point, they’ve been drinking since noon; a heady mixture including Port, Craft Beers and Lee’s homemade “Krampus” cider, so this may be a little “relaxed”. But it is Christmas Eve, so why not grab a drink or three, watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoilers, join us for the podcast and have yourselves a very Merry Christmas.

Welcome To Horror Christmas Bonus Episode 2 “Whistle And I’ll Come To You” is available now on the Podcast App/iTunes Store, Soundcloud and at welcometohorror.com

It’s the second of our Bonus Christmas Episodes, and we take the Horrormobile to the coast for some light archeology/grave robbing in Jonathan Miller’s 1968 adaption of M.R. James’ “Whistle And I’ll Come To You”.

The booze is flowing, and Chris’s memory of Whitley Strieber is severely affected. Fortunately he can remember Paddington Bear, and Adam and Lee get to declare their undying love of M.R. James. Grab a drink, watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoilers, and join us.

In the first of our Christmas Bonus Episodes, the gang take the Horrormobile to Geap Manor for an anthology from the mind of Mr Mark Gatiss, 2008’s BBC Ghost Story for Christmas “Crooked House”.

The gang discuss Gatiss’ career, from “Doctor Who” to “Sherlock” by way of “The League of Gentleman” and “A History of Horror” with an almost sickening level of obsession. The drinks are flowing already on this episode, so grab a glass, watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoilers, and join us.

It’s the 2nd in our season of 5 Christmas Episodes, and this time we’re watching Jalmari Helander’s “Rare Exports”.

Having opened their traditional Halloween crackers, the gang take the Horrormobile over to Finland’s Korvatunturi mountains for their first foreign language film. Staying in Krampus territory, the guys ponder the finer points of explosion radiuses and just how much old man cock is too much old man cock, particularly for a Christmas film? Along the way they report on what great horror films are available in your local pound shop and give their traditional Christmas viewing lists.

Well we have spoken to the big man in the suit and he tells us you have all been such good boys and girls that we have a Christmas treat for you all, we are putting an episode up every Sunday in December and an additional bonus episode during the week running up to Christmas so we will be keep you company more frequently over the festive period!

We kick off our season of Christmas Episodes, with Michael Dougherty’s 2015 Christmas Creature Feature “Krampus”.

Excited, the gang have come down early in their pyjamas to unwrap the dark mythology behind this festive follow up to “Trick R Treat”. They applaud someone keeping a fire lit whilst under siege, and meet Spoon Licker, Sausage Swiper, Doorway Sniffer and Sheep Harasser.

Along the way, Lee reviews the “Limehouse Golem” and Adam reveals that North Korean propaganda videos are far more terrifying when accompanied by the entrance music of certain early 90s WWF wrestlers.

In honour of the Thanksgiving celebrations, the gang take the Horrormobile to the little town of Crawberg and experience their lowest budget so far!

They settle down to dinner with a suspiciously short and feathery man with a moustache and glasses, and discuss the true comic insanity of “ThanksKilling”, without doubt the finest Killer Turkey/revenge/slasher film that we have ever seen! Around the dinner table, the conversation is lively, as Chris admits to his brush with the law, and the facts of Lee’s Stag Night emerge.

GOBBLE GOBBLE MOTHERFUCKERS!

To combat accusations of nepotism when Chris’ sister/Lee’s wife; Lady Jennifer, was our special guest last episode, this time we’re joined by Lee’s brother; Dr Dean - Pit Pony and founder of the Lin Shay Appreciation Society.

The Horrormobile takes the gang to 1986, in the small American town of

Bender’s Grove. They had hoped to get their original pressing 7” single of “Power of the Night” signed by angular pop hunk Johnny Steele, but instead have become overwhelmed by cute furry psychopaths with sharp teeth and bad attitudes. Fortunately, Dr Dean knows a thing or two about cats...

Lee, Chris and Adam are joined by special guest Lady Jennifer as they conclude their 3 episode Halloween season for October.

The gang sit down and relive that Halloween Night 25 years ago, when the BBC decided to scare the absolute living shit out of viewers across the UK. They mourn the passing of Mike Smith, address accusations of on-air farting, and definitely don’t laugh about the phrase “Glory Hole”.

Join Lee, Chris and Adam as they continue their 3 episode Halloween season for October.

The boys take the Horrormobile back to 1982 for that October Night when Michael Myers decided to stay in for a change.

As well as hailing the incomparable Dick Warlock and questioning the significance of a handkerchief in Tom Atkins’ pocket, the boys discuss Charlie’s Angels and Twin Peaks (old and new).

Join Lee, Chris and Adam as they kick off their 3 episode Halloween season for October.

We start with Michael Dougherty’s brilliant portmanteau film “Trick R Treat”, we actually recorded this episode 2 years ago, but the studio have kept it on the shelf for no discernible reason.

Will Adam’s obsession with Brian Cox become embarrassing? Will Adam and Lee mention seeing this at FrightFest 2009, or meeting John Landis afterwards? Of course they will (they’re incorrigible name droppers).
