A Nightmare on Elm Street

July 05, 2020 09:00 - 1 hour - 98.9 MB

The team head back to the birth of a true modern horror icon - man of your dreams Freddy Krueger. Yes it’s the Wes Craven classic “A Nightmare On Elm Street”. A film in which we learn that it’s best to keep a murder weapon as a souvenir after a traditional neighbourhood nonce burning; being analysed by Roger Rabbit can turn your hair white; and that Johnny Depp had a lot of blood inside him in his pre-standing on a box days. Along the way we discuss “Dream Demon”, the “Scream” films and Shudd...

Dude Bro Party Massacre III

The team climb aboard Sminkle’s Bang Bus for hard-hitting, pulls-no-punches documentary “Dude Bro Party Massacre III”.

Young Frankenstein

June 21, 2020 09:00 - 1 hour - 71 MB

We return to the laboratory for Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder’s inspired mockery of the Universal horrors in “Young Frankenstein”. A film in which everything is huge; from the performances, to the knockers and on to the schwanzstucker; an off camera Mel Brooks portrays both a werewolf and a cat; and we can only speculate on what Frau Blücher has been doing to the horses. Along the way we discuss “House” (aka “Hausu”) and “Kwaidan”. Watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoilers, and join us. APOLOGIES FO...

Phantom of the Paradise

June 14, 2020 09:00 - 1 hour - 68.2 MB

We’re joined by returning guest Westley to watch Brian De Palma’s glam rock extravaganza “Phantom of the Paradise”. A film in which a scholar of Faust manages to miss a number of red flags - including signing a contract in blood; revenge is best served in a bondage suit and crow-shaped crash helmet; and we discover a novel new use for a plunger.

Stoker

June 07, 2020 09:00 - 1 hour - 64.7 MB

It’s creepy uncle time, as we dive into Chan-wook Park’s insidious “Stoker”. A film in which we learn that incest is fine, as long as you wait until they’re past the age of consent; some mobile phone networks still provide a signal 6 feet underground; and erotic piano recitals can lead to spiders in the pants. Along the way we discuss “Hour of the Wolf” and “Audition”. Watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoilers, and join us. APOLOGIES FOR ANY SOUND QUALITY ISSUES -CURRENT QUARANTINE MEASURES MEANT...

The Beast Must Die

May 31, 2020 09:00 - 1 hour - 67.9 MB

The team sink their teeth into another slice of lycanthropy, this time with a dash of Blaxploitation and a garnish of Agatha Christie. Yes folks, it’s Amicus Films’ horror swansong “The Beast Must Die”. A film in which a millionaire dresses up in more leather and PVC than a biker’s convention at the Torture Garden, we observe the traditional dinner party game of “pass the candlestick” and Dumbledore auditions as a stunt driver for The Sweeney. Along the way we discuss “Nothing Really Happens”...

Hellraiser

May 24, 2020 09:00 - 1 hour - 75 MB

It’s time for the team to open the box and experience Clive Barker’s classic “Hellraiser”, a film which features a heavier dub than a Lee Scratch Perry B-Side; more pulsating meat than a Magic Mike show; and more degrading perversity than a Tory MP’s weekend. Along the way we discuss “Cats”, “Bliss”, “Odd Thomas”, “Nothing Really Happens” and “Dreamland”. Watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoilers, and join us.

It’s time for the team to experience some J-Horror and we sit down to probably the most (in)famous: Hideo Nakata’s adaption of Kôji Suzuki’s “Ring”. A film in which moody videos in hotel rooms get you killed rather than arrested, we discover the importance of a good manicure when trapped in a well and Brine-based frolics result in all kinds of goblinry. Along the way we discuss “One Cut of the Dead” and Neill Blomkamp’s Oats Studios. Watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoilers, and join us. APOLOGI...

Midsommar

May 03, 2020 10:17 - 1 hour - 62.1 MB

Having been locked down for so long, the team just want to see the Sun, beautiful landscapes and gather together as a community; so to put them off all that, they watched Ari Aster’s “Midsommar”. A film in which we learn how to make a menstrual smoothie to wash down that traditional Swedish Hair Pie, the term “bear with me” takes on a grisly new meaning and we have a salutary lesson to never forget your other half’s birthday (and tripping balls is not an excuse!). We’re joined by returning gu...

Dog Soldiers

April 26, 2020 09:00 - 1 hour - 50.4 MB

More classic monsters for the team this week, as we turn our attention to 2002’s British Army Vs Werewolves flick “Dog Soldiers”. A film in which Ser Davos Seaworth regrows his fingers and drops the Geordie accent for a much posher and sinister one; Worzel Gummidge’s son plays tug of war with a dog using his own entrails; and Tommy from Trainspotting discovers you can catch far worse things off animals than Cat-Shit-Eye-blindness. Along the way we discuss “The Platform”, “The Final Girls”, “R...

It’s vampire time again on Welcome to Horror, and this time it’s Kathryn Bigelow’s vision of dusty drifter/murderers “Near Dark”.

Like, really quickly. Along the way we discuss “I Am A Ghost”, “Come To Daddy”, “Septic Man”, “Blackfish” and “Don’t F*** With Cats”. Watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoi...

Pumpkinhead

April 05, 2020 09:00 - 58 minutes - 29 MB

Along the way we discuss “Tiger King”, “The Living Ghost” and “Mid-Winter of the Spirit”. Watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoilers, and join us. APOLOGIES FOR A...

What we do in the Shadows

March 15, 2020 10:00 - 1 hour - 91 MB

It’s episode 69! And we don’t even laugh about it! We do, however, piss ourselves laughing at Taika Waititi & Jemaine Clement’s “What We Do In The Shadows” - possibly the best Vampire film (comedy or serious), and probably the best mockumentary ever made. Along the way we discuss “The Lighthouse” and “Color Out Of Space”

The Uncanny

The gang’s all here! Lady Jennifer, Chris, Lee and Adam sit down for Adam’s birthday choice and listener suggestion, which is the feline-themed anthology “The Uncanny”.

Horror Comedy TV II

February 16, 2020 11:45 - 48 minutes - 67.8 MB

Lee and Adam conclude their look at great horror comedy TV. On this episode they discuss the legacy of “The League of Gentlemen”, as Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton bring us first “Psychoville” and then the anthology hit “Inside No.9”, and conclude with the sadly little known and pitch perfect spoof that is “Dr Terrible’s House of Horrible” starring Steve Coogan”. Seriously, if you love British Horror films of the 60s and 70s, you owe it to yourself to track this series down! Chris has b...

Horror Comedy on TV I

February 02, 2020 10:00 - 1 hour - 97.5 MB

Chris is still missing, and has possibly now been abducted by red-fingered aliens. This leaves Lee and Adam little to do except sit back and shoot the shit about great horror comedy TV. A chat that lasted so long, we’ve split it into two parts. On this episode they discuss the TV version of “What We Do In The Shadows”, cult masterpiece“Garth Marenghi's Darkplace” and the truly classic “The League of Gentlemen”. We hope you enjoy, and maybe find some new ghoulish chuckles too.

Exorcist III

January 19, 2020 10:00 - 1 hour - 74.7 MB

Following on from our last episode, this time we’re watching “The Exorcist III”. A film in which an anecdotal trout haunts a hardened detective; heads roll in the Catholic church both figuratively and actually; and cantankerous bickering indicates a lasting friendship (or is that just the podcast?) Along the way we discuss Mark Gatiss’ Christmas Ghost Story “Martin’s Close”, the “Harry Potter” films and books, “Kuso”, “Chiller”, “Nightbreed”, “Shadows of Fear” and “The Usborne Book of Ghosts”...

Welcome to 2020! And to celebrate, we have an extra special guest: Pin Ball Bobby from the magnificent “Not For Everyone Podcast”! And we’re kicking off the new decade with a classic: William Friedkin’s adaptation of William Peter Blatty’s “The Exorcist”. A film in which the director refrigerates a 12 year old girl, lets off guns willy nilly, causes life-changing injuries to his actors, ties a woman to a chair, slaps a priest and hires a genuine murderer.

Gremlins

December 22, 2019 10:00 - 1 hour - 78 MB

To quote Noddy Holder “IT’S CHRISTMAS!”, and so we’re watching a Christmas classic to celebrate: we’re back with Joe Dante for 1984’s “Gremlins”.
