The team are joined by Westley Sith of the Mos Eisley Happy Hour for a thoroughly British nightmare; the 1960 adaptation of John Wyndham’s “The Midwich Cuckoos”, filmed as “Village of the Damned”.
A film in which Shere Khan has to contend with a whole village of creepy man-cubs; the local Doctor ponces everyone’s cigarettes; and genial Harry Grout becomes a copper coming a cropper on a bicycle.
Along the way we discuss “Ace of Wands”, “Psycho Goreman”, BBC Sounds podcast “The Sink”, Shudder original “The Power”, “Wolf Cop” and “Another Wolf Cop”.
Watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoilers, and join us.
