In the second half of our Not For Everyone Podcast recommendations, we’re watching another Stephen King adaptation - 2003’s “Dreamcatcher”.A film in which Morgan Freeman’s eyebrows are designed to stop pigeons nesting; Damian Lewis auditions to play the Joker as Hugh Laurie; and Jason Lee just needs to leave those fucking toothpicks where they are!…

As a follow up to our Christmas Crossover with our Kurt Army Cousins, The Not For Everyone Podcast, we decided to take a look at two of the Stephen King adaptations that were mentioned, but unseen by us.First up is George A Romero’s “The Dark Half”; a film in which we learn that pure, undiluted evil must be dressed like Tom Waits; that Henry (Portr…

Welcome To Horror Presents: “We Have Been Watching And The Monster From Hell”.It’s time, faithful listeners, for the WTH team to have another one of our fireside chats about our inter-schedule viewing, and this time we’re joined by special guest; Lady Jennifer (her motivation: it’s half term and she was bored).This episode we discuss 70s anthology …

We present a spoiler free look at “The Group”, the debut feature of director William Higo.A group meeting for (mostly) recovering addicts is suddenly hijacked by an unknown man, who conducts his own brutal group therapy session, down the barrel of a gun.Secrets are exposed, truths confronted and loyalties are torn and formed as the situation reache…

It’s the next film in our Countycide season, and today we go down to the woods for a big surprise, with 2006’s “Severance”, from director Christopher Smith.A film in which the arrival of a gang of brutal, sadistic murderers relieves the true horror of an office team-building weekend; Lord Percy steps in something rather nasty; and Danny Dyer provid…

It’s the new year, so it’s time get some fresh air and take a rejuvenating break in our Countrycide season.First up is 2008’s “The Cottage”, a film in which Pinhead has joined the local neighbourhood watch; Gollum proves to be related to a large number of the inhabitants of Royston Vasey; and Spudgun is a pain in the arse who fucks up everything he…

And so we conclude our festive season of ‘Silent Nights’ by going back even further, for the magnificent “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari”.A film in which we witness possibly the worst interior design for a psychiatric hospital; the best (and only correct) response to petty local bureaucracy and we all empathise with a man who sleeps for 23 years and s…

It’s nearly Christmas; so we’re bringing you some ‘Silent Nights’ - first up is 1922’s beautifully sinister “Nosferatu - A Symphony of Horror”.A film in which we learn the very worst way to cut a slice of bread; that nothing looks more confused than a striped hyena in a German forest; and that when your manager finishes every sentence with an insan…

In space, no one can hear you jump the shark. We turn our attention to a couple of horror franchises that looked to stars for (questionable?) inspiration. First off is 2002’s “Jason X” - a film in which we learn that you’d better enjoy the current season of Ice Hockey as it’s getting banned next year; that those newfangled magnetic nipples are not …

Go suck a fuck, it’s our episode on “Donnie Darko” (spoilers AND swearing).A film in which we learn the incorrect place to store a Lifeline exercise card; that there’s nothing more beautiful than Drew Barrymore’s cellar door; and that it’s not just Patrick Swayze’s dancing that’s dirty.This brilliantly cast, Halloween-set fantasy stalled at the US …

In space, no one can hear Lee complain, but we’re back on Earth, so get ready to hear our discussion on Ridley Scott’s “Alien”.A film in which John Hurt rehearses his guest appearance in “Spaceballs”; Tom Skerritt gives a masterclass in poor management (we’ve all worked for a useless prick); and Ian Holm performs cinema’s first self-bukkake.A fanta…

Last episode we watched “The Red Shoes”, considered by many to be the masterpiece of directors Powell and Pressburger, by contrast we now turn to the film that practically ended Michael Powell’s career, as we discuss 1960’s “Peeping Tom”.A film in which we learn that a surprise lizard is an excellent substitute for a child’s alarm clock; that even …

It’s Lady Jennifer’s birthday request; and we’re joined by previous guest Dani for “The Red Shoes” (1948).A dazzlingly beautiful film in which we learn that if a prominent figure in the arts ISN’T a plagiarist, they’re a full blown psychopath; that horse drawn shag wagons were commonplace on the continent in the 40s; and that the show must go on, e…

It’s time for more spooky real estate, as we turn our attention to “House” (that’s the film from the 80’s, not that TV series where floppy haired fop Hugh Laurie pretended he was tough and grumpy).A film in which we learn that attractive neighbours may roll up and dump their mullet-headed sprog on you without a moment’s notice; that the kookaburra …

With housing a seeming perennial nightmare, we’re going to look at some nightmare houses, kicking off with an absolute, stone cold classic - Robert Wise’s “The Haunting” (that’s the 1963 one, not the abomination that is the 1999 version with Qui-Gon Jinn).Adapted from the novel by Shirley Jackson “The Haunting of Hill House” (again, not to be confu…

Welcome To Horror Presents: “The Evil of We Have Been Watching”.The team discuss what they’ve been sticking in their stupid flappy faces with our regular round up of what We Have Been Watching.This episode features chat about “Unbreakable” and “Glass” (following on from our episode on “Split”), “Evil Dead Rise”, “King of the Castle”, “Knock at the …

It’s time to make like a banana (who enjoys the work of M. Night Shyamalan) and watch “Split”.A film in which learn that a Varvatos shirt will excuse 90s cargo pants; that security guards are utterly useless, especially if they’ve still got your orange headphones; and that Kanye is my main man, et cetera.By being a “stealth sequel” to “Unbreakable”…

There’s a lot of films called “The Voices”; but we’re covering the best - the Marjane Satrapi directed 2014 one, starring Ryan Reynolds.A film that teaches you the value of covering cold meat, even in the fridge; that if someone shifty doesn’t want you to go inside their house, take the hint and walk away; and, in the words of Dr Peter Venkman, cat…

We conclude our Haunted April season (in May) with Brad Anderson’s atmospheric chiller “Session 9”.A film in which we learn that health and safety at work is one thing, but health safety in the kitchen can save lives; crematorium walls that pay out like slot machines are best left alone; and maybe if you took less tea breaks and stop pissing off to…

We return, once more to the work of the one and only Mr John Carpenter (the only J.C. we worship round here).It’s time for 1980’s “The Fog”, a film which proves that 2 generations of scream queens are better than one; that a regular series of pissed-up night-fishing boat-trips will eventually end badly; and Tom Atkins, even without his trademark mo…

And we open the “Inside No.9 Christmas Selection Box” one last time, but unlike a normal selection box, we’re not left with a few toffee pennies and that horrible coconut one.

Having gorged ourselves on the first layer, it’s time to move to the next plastic tray in our “Inside No.9 Christmas Selection Box”.

Our Punk Horror double bill concludes with a recommendation from Leadbelt Art - a film that had slipped under the whole team’s radar for 23 years - the magnificently mental “Wild Zero”.A documentary detailing 2 days in the life of your average gun-toting, fire-belching, shuriken-plectrum-wielding, spirit-guiding jet rock ‘n’ roll band.
