Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)
August 08, 2019 03:00 - 1 hour - 72.5 MB"There's no need for hate now. Or love..." It's Manny's turn up on the film choice as the triumphant winner of last week's competition round, and having to pick a PG rated horror flick, he picked a stonker... The 1978 remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers is a classic tale of paranoia and extra terrestrial threat, which follows a health inspector and his laboratory scientist friend as they begin to suspect that thier friends and loved ones are suddenly acting differently, apparently dra...
Scream (1996)
August 01, 2019 03:00 - 1 hour - 65.1 MB"Movies don't create psychos, movies make psychos more creative!" The whole gang is back together, and this week they're covering one of the horror cornerstones of the 90's - Wes Craven's Scream! A killer with a ghostface mask terrorises the totally made up town of Woodsboro, California... picking off the teenage population in a way that seems a little familiar.

The Devil's Rejects (2005)
July 25, 2019 03:00 - 1 hour - 59.6 MBAnother 'relaxed-fit' episode this week, with minimal editing and minus 1 shit-talker... With Robbie away, Roo and Manny attempt to take on the beast that is Rob Zombie's 'The Devils Rejects'. We thought it was about time, seeing as we covered 'House of 1000' way back in episode one aaand the third instalment in the series is set to drop later this year! We're pretty die-hard Zombie fans here at LWH, but listen in to see if this particular movie ranks among our most or least favourite...
Midsommar (2019) + #Point5 Mater (2019)
July 18, 2019 03:00 - 45 minutes - 43.2 MBWe're baaaaack! AND BIGGER THAN EVER!! ... Well, not really.

Mannequin Short ...
DEBATE No 7. What Movie would you use to introduce someone to Horror?
July 04, 2019 03:00 - 1 hour - 75.5 MBThe debate this month is a slightly different formula to usual, as the gang each chose their pick of a horror movie they would use to introduce a complete NEWB to the horror genre. It's an interesting one, especially as Rob, Roo and Manny each chose a compleeeetely different deal! One comedy-horror, one anthology and one supernatural drama... Listen as they go head to head, defending their selection and attempting to tear down the others! As always, the best Twitter comments from the debate ...
Climax (2018)
June 27, 2019 03:00 - 1 hour - 83.8 MBFor our third and final week of World Cinema Month, Roo decided to go with something that none of the gang had seen yet, but have wanted to since it's release last year. Gaspar Noe brings us to 'Climax', with this demented, art-house mind-fuck... It really has to be seen to be believed. "Uncomfortable", "shocking" and "sick" are just a few of the words the LWH guys use to describe some of the goings-on... But you just have to experience it for yourself to know wtf we're on about. Luckily it'...
Pulse/Kairo (2001)
June 20, 2019 03:00 - 1 hour - 92.1 MBWe're in full globetrotting mode for our World Cinema Month, and this weeks film is Manny's choice - he decided to bring the gang some Japanese technological terror with Kairo, more commonly known in English speaking markets as Pulse.

Dead Snow (2009)
June 13, 2019 03:00 - 1 hour - 72.8 MBNAZI ZOMBIES.....IN THE SNOW! What more could we say, what more do we need to say. If you love zombie movies but you haven't seen this..why?

DEBATE No 6. WILL ZOMBIE MOVIES EVER BE SCARY AGAIN OR ARE THEY TOO PLAYED OUT?
June 06, 2019 03:00 - 1 hour - 96.7 MBZombies. Love 'em? Hate 'em? Just plain bored of the brain-dead, brain-eating sons'a'bitches? As one of the most prolific and long-standing movie monsters, The Zombie has undergone many changes and experienced a roller-coaster of public popularity. In this debate episode, the LWH gang ask whether after all this time and after aaaalll those Z movies, these undead creatures can still be scary to a potentially desensitised audience. Listen in to here Rob, Roo and Manny's opinions as well as tho...
#POINT5 Scary Stories (2019)
June 03, 2019 03:00 - 40 minutes - 42.2 MB"The Stories That Impacted Millions..." AKA. SCARY STORIES TO TELL IN THE DARK! We were all miiighty impressed with the podcasts very first documentary Point.5.Production, especially as it covers one of the most controversial and legendary book series in the horror community. 'Scary Stories', directed by Cody Meirick, discusses the influence and contentious nature of the Alvin Schwartz stories, covering topics such as the nation-wide attempts to ban the books and the artwork that haunted and...
The Wicker Man (1973)
May 30, 2019 03:00 - 1 hour - 85.3 MBFor Manny's 70's pick this week, the gang decided to dive into the cult-classic that is The Wicker Man, partly due to it's legendary status and partly because we picked up the blu-ray in a cheap deal recently... This wonderfully weird movie is a mix between cult horror, murder mystery and hippie musical... And somehow, it really, really works. We all truly loved it (though to varying degrees), helped by the stunning performances from the likes of Christopher Lee and Edward Woodward and THAT ...
#POINT5 Room for Rent (2019)
May 27, 2019 03:00 - 37 minutes - 35.6 MBFor this Point.5.Production, we are continuing with the Lin Shaye theme of the week... 'Room For Rent' stars the brilliant actor in a haunting and sorrowful character study that is positively ridden with tension, dread and suspense. While not overtly packed with the usual tropes we have become accustomed to in our usual horrors, there is more than enough here to spook and satisfy an avid horror fan. With outstanding performances, clever plot twists and nail-biting pacing, this indie feature ...
Insidious (2010)
May 23, 2019 03:00 - 1 hour - 85.9 MBThis week, the gang thought it was about time they took on a more modern classic... It wasn't until they settled on 'Insidious' that they realised it's already NINE YEARS OLD! While maybe not as contemporary as first thought, it certainly is still a classic. This first instalment in what would become the 'Blumhouse-universe-series' is a fresh take on the traditional ghost story and the whole gang was Here. For. It. Plus, for many in the horror community, it was an introduction to the wonderf...
Cannibal Holocaust (1980)
May 16, 2019 03:00 - 1 hour - 68.2 MBThis week, Rob & Manny take on the infamous grandaddy of the video nasties - Cannibal Holocaust... A pioneering title in exploitation movies and the found footage genre, a professor finds the remains of a documentary film crew in the Amazon who were tasked with filming the lives and tribulations of tribal people living in the rainforest.

Disneys The Black Cauldron (1985)
May 09, 2019 03:00 - 1 hour - 62.7 MBHold on to your hats folks, 'cause this one's a screamer... Rob decided to throw us a complete curve-ball this week, following some pretty heated discussion on last weeks debate. After some slight disagreements and vague conclusions, alluding to the idea that all it takes to be a horror is the intention to scare, Rob thought to himself; then why not The Black Cauldron?! One of Disney's best kept secrets, this 1985 animation is certainly darker than their usual bright 'n' fluffy affairs... Bu...
#POINT5 Hunter (2019)
May 06, 2019 03:00 - 37 minutes - 36 MBOUR FIRST VAMPIRE POINT.5! Needless to say, Roo was rather excited... This is super dark and gritty story, set to the harsh background of a Chicago winter, complete with haunted protagonists and twisted villains. It's a super interesting look at the urban vampire and the lengths a person will go to for love and revenge... Check out the trailer right here https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3452966/videoplayer/vi1928313369?ref_=vp_pl_0
DEBATE No 5. Is there something specific that makes a horror a HORROR?
May 02, 2019 05:00 - 1 hour - 97.6 MBFellow freaks and gorehounds, the monthly debate episode rolls round once more! Ruby trumped Manny twice on the trot in competition rounds, so she got full control over the topic at hand, and she picked a far reaching, all encompassing question... Is there any one thing in particular that makes a horror film, a horror? As we could predict, the discussion covers lots of different ground, and get's impassioned and enthusiastic as usual. We cover the tone and plot that the horror genre tends to...
#POINT5 Butterfly Kisses (2018)
April 29, 2019 05:00 - 40 minutes - 38.9 MBIf you thought that found footage had breathed it's final breath, think again, buddy. Butterfly Kisses is here to throw the tropes on their head. In 2004, Baltimore Maryland film students endeavour to create a documentary about the urban legend Peeping Tom, an entity who appears if you stare down a long dark tunnel for an hour without blinking. A filmmaker discovers their footage and attempts to bolster his waning career by creating the movie from his findings. Rob, Roo, Manny & our lovely...

Dane DeHaan plays a coldly ambitious executive sent by his superiors to retrieve his colleague from a mysterious Sanatorium is the Swiss Alps, but discovers upon arrival that something ...
#POINT5 Twelve Pole Manor (2018)
April 22, 2019 05:00 - 37 minutes - 36.3 MBThis week's Point Five is an absolute barnstormer! A wonderfully twisty and nasty offering from the people who bought us Glam, which we reviewed on a previous episode. A group of guys all chip in to buy, renovate, and flip a decrepit old house for profit, despite murmurings that the place has a dark past and a malevolent presence haunting it's halls - it's safe to say that this isn't going to be a regular job... Taking a concept familiar to any hardened horror fan and turning it on it's hea...
Shrooms (2007)
April 18, 2019 05:00 - 1 hour - 77.5 MBGUILTY PLEASURE ROUND 2! This time round, it's Roo's turn, and she means business... Which is why she chose a film that she truly loves, while the boys clearrrrly feel quite differently... Shrooms is a mid-2000's drug-fuelled, psychological slasher that certainly divides opinion! Can she persuade them round to her way of thinking? Or will their criticisms grind her down into a drivelling mess of basically just "WELL I LIKE IT OKAY?!" Find out right here, right now.
#POINT5 Deadly Crush (2018)
April 15, 2019 05:00 - 31 minutes - 29.9 MBWell... It is certainly safe to say that this was the raunchiest Point.5 we have done so far... Or even just the raunchiest horror we've covered full stop! Deadly Crush, directed by the talented Dakota Aesquivel and staring the gorgeous Aria London, is an erotic supernatural thriller that will leave you spooked and, well, let's just say THIRSTY. Deffo not one to watch with the family and deffo NSFW. Not that you should be watching horror movies when you're at work anyway. What are you, some ...
House of Wax (2005)
April 11, 2019 05:00 - 1 hour - 85.6 MBWelcome to Let's Watch Horror's month of nutritious trash and so-bad-it's-good loveliness - it's Guilty Pleasure month, where each of the gang pick a film to watch and discuss that they enjoy which has been panned by fans & critics alike - and listen to them defend their choice against the acerbic criticisms of the other two. Are they idiots with rose-tinted spectacles and terrible taste? Or are their movies misunderstood diamonds in the rough? This week, Rob picks the 2005 re-imagining of ...
#POINT5 Love Me Not (2019)
April 08, 2019 05:00 - 30 minutes - 30.4 MBComing in from the awesome Michael Coulombe, Brantley J Brown and Horror House Media we have LOVE ME NOT! Another fresh Horror short..This one is double the length of the other 2 productions and has ALOT more dialogue. It is brilliant, every aspect is perfect from Vanessa Esperanza's acting to the costume design, everything makes this short a must watch. We cant wait to see what these guys do next! Ever wanted to see what happens when a woman is scorned too many times? Then you simply must c...
Debate No 4. Does CGI ruin horror movies?
April 04, 2019 05:00 - 1 hour - 102 MBSo we thought we would be deliberately provocative with the wording for this one and thankfully it paid off! We got lots of great feedback from our beaut twitter family, which we reveal in detail during the episode. As is becoming tradition with a LWH debate, we also disclose our own individual opinions, give some background on the topic of CGI and discuss some of the most relevant horror movies relative to the question. We really enjoyed ourselves with this one and hope you have as much fun...
#POINT5 Mannequin (2018)
April 01, 2019 05:00 - 30 minutes - 30.7 MBAnother awesome Horror short from our good friend David Teixeira...the man who brought us Ouroboros, this movie is just as fresh but a bit more icky. Manny and Rob are without Ruby in the #Point5Productions episode but the boys try they hardest to give you all the info you need to get excited for this lovely slice of Horror! Get ready for Mannequin!
Possum (2018)
March 28, 2019 05:00 - 1 hour - 80.4 MBOne of the great joys of being a movie nerd of any persuasion, is digging through lesser known films and taking a chance on something which you have little to no background information on. Sometimes you get a forgettable dud. But sometimes, just sometimes... you stumble across a gem. A twisted, uncomfortable little gem. Possum is the story of an ex-puppeteer who returns to his dreary hometown to face his demons, both inner and external. What follows is a genuinely nightmarish slow burn of u...
#POINT5 Stay Quiet & Slash (2018)
March 25, 2019 05:00 - 39 minutes - 38 MBThis week's Point 5 Production is a double whammy of two very distinct but excellent shorts, both from the lovely folks over at the Fear Crypt production company. First off we dive into the tense but morbidly amusing Stay Quiet, centring around a disturbed man who really does not like loud noises. Then, we discuss Slash, a gleeful subversion of the many cliches and tropes that we all love to hate about slasher movies. We had ourselves a proper little blast with this one...
Event Horizon (1997)
March 21, 2019 05:00 - 1 hour - 76.8 MB"Where we're going, we won't need eyes to see..." Rob and Roo were actually pretty chuffed that Manny got to pick this week, 'coz the boy DID GOOD! If like us you had assumed this was just your typical sci-fi, then think again, 'coz shit gets nasty... In aaaall the right ways. Brought to us by Paul W.S. Anderson, the dude behind Alien VS Predator and Resident Evil, this is one wild ride with some serious ups and downs. There seriously might be something here for everyone, but put it all toge...
#POINT5 Rage of the Mummy (2018)
March 18, 2019 05:00 - 28 minutes - 27.3 MB"They have awakened an ancient; now heads will roll..." Beware the Rage of the Mummy! In this quirky retelling of a classic-horror story, Dennis Vincent brings the legendary Mummy back to life alongside an intriguing comic book narrative, good ol'fashioned satanic panic and all round campy hilarity. You can catch this right now on Amazon Prime and DVD!
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)
March 14, 2019 05:00 - 1 hour - 82.9 MBYeah, no biggie. We're only taking on one of the most iconic slasher movies of all time. The searingly hot southern sun, daisy dukes, bloodied meat hooks, and of course, the towering masked brute killer himself. The gang offer their own takes on this stone cold classic and it's subsequent influence on the face of horror itself... "I just can't take no pleasure in killing. There's just some things you gotta do - don't mean you have to like it..."
Point5Production - Lion (2017)
March 11, 2019 05:00 - 32 minutes - 31.1 MBToday's Point.5.Production brings you our discussion on the wonderful and highly acclaimed short film, 'Lion'. Directed by Davide Melini, and currently sitting pretty with being one of the most awarded horror-shorts in history, getting to watch and review 'Lion' was a truly exciting opportunity for us. With a unique plot, stunning visuals and a Del Toro-esque dark fantasy feel, we highly recommend catching this as soon as it becomes available! For now, you'll have to make do with all we have...

Ep 16. American Psycho (2000)
February 28, 2019 05:00 - 1 hour - 78.3 MBOn the third instalment of women in horror month, we delve into Mary Harron's iconic black comedy American Psycho. Based on the controversial 1991 novel of the same name by Bret Easton Ellis, this movie presents a twisted take on the superficial indulgences of the Wall Street yuppies of the 80's. Christian Bale puts in one of the most recognisable performances of his career here, and Mary Harron was in charge of one of the most critically and commercially successful female-directed horror(is...
