#SHB377 - Together

It’s pretty rare we get to see horror films at the cinema that we know almost nothing about and that was certainly the case this week. After Ozgood Perkins’ last two films we knew we would be seated for whatever he made next so we were able to go see this film having only seen a teaser at the start of the year and it really added to the experience. We try to dance around spoiling this one during our discussion but Ozgood is fast becoming one of the most intriguing directors out there. We also give our reactions to the Silent Hill trailer and whether it can continue the amazing resurgence the franchise is currently having. Keeper is available in cinemas worldwide nowFollow us on Twitter @SHBPodEmail us: [email protected]**Please take the time to review & rate us on iTunes or your podcast service of choice.

One of the great auteurs of this generation is back with his latest work in the form of a new adaptation of the most classic of all creature stories. Del toro and Frankenstein truly is a match made in heaven and now via Netflix we finally get to see his take on Mary Shelley’s classic. Perhaps not the most ‘horror’ of films by modern standards but arguably it’s horror comes from a realer place and it is certainly an emotional watch. We end by discussing the latest physical release of the greatest French horror film ever made and why its impact is still so profound all these years later. Frankenstein is available on Netflix worldwide nowFollow us on Twitter @SHBPodEmail us: [email protected]**Please take the time to review & rate us on iTunes or your podcast service of choice.

Happy Halloween! We sure have a wild one for you this week. First off we absolutely lose our minds discussing the first trailer for Scream 7 and give our first reactions as well as all the crazy speculation that now comes with a new entry in the franchise. If you thought this was bad we’ve got 4 more months to dissect this one. After this extended intro we briefly talk about a new horror film. But more excitingly we discuss a new 4K release which is surely the best horror release of the year. Spooky season truly is the greatest. Hell House LLC: Lineage  is available on Shudder worldwide nowFollow us on Twitter @SHBPodEmail us: [email protected]**Please take the time to review & rate us on iTunes or your podcast service of choice.

There aren't many sports/horror hybrid films around usually and maybe after this week’s show we understand a little better why. Just kidding. Him is the latest film to arrive under the esteemed Monkeypaw Productions banner and was a film we couldn’t wait to see after its first reveal. Can two of our favourite hobbies merge together in a way we never could have imagined? Let’s find out. Ending the show; Matt has been reading some Stephen King before the next Joe Hill novel arrives soon. Mike has been checking out some classic Friday the 13th films via Arrow Video. And we see what our hype level is for the final season of Stranger Things as its long awaited return looms. Him is available on digital services worldwide nowFollow us on Twitter @SHBPodEmail us: [email protected]**Please take the time to review & rate us on iTunes or your podcast service of choice.

What better way to get excited for spooky season than to discuss a brand new VHS film with the theme being all about our favourite time of year. Shudder brought back this franchise from the dead and with now 8 main entries in the franchise; can they continue to deliver? You may be surprised by our thoughts on this film. Ending the show Matt has rewatched Silent Hill for the first time in 15 years and realises sometimes it’s best to keep your memories intact when going back to older releases. V/H/S/Halloween is available on Shudder worldwide nowFollow us on Twitter @SHBPodEmail us: [email protected]**Please take the time to review & rate us on iTunes or your podcast service of choice.

Body horror is a genre staple and after a huge resurgence in the sub genre last year we get to discuss its latest entry in Together. Starring real life couple Dave Franco and Alison Brie; this film tackles the ups and downs of fractured relationships in a way that only the horror genre can achieve. We also discuss Mike Flanagan’s return to film after 5 years and how The Life of Chuck is vintage Flanagan. Finally we preview the rest of a very busy month for horror. Together is available on digital services worldwide nowFollow us on Twitter @SHBPodEmail us: [email protected]**Please take the time to review & rate us on iTunes or your podcast service of choice.

Well, well well; if it isn’t a new episode of the show in 2025. We are back and couldn’t be happier to return with the film we are discussing this week. Zach Cregger flew onto the horror scene in 2022 with his outstanding debut film Barbarian and now he’s back with the insanely original Weapons. We have one of our longest individual film discussions in the show’s history and still feel like there’s more to talk about with this one. Ending the show we chat about what is next for Zach as he is tackling one of our favourite franchises across all media and set the new hype train going forward. Weapons is available on digital services worldwide nowFollow us on Twitter @SHBPodEmail us: [email protected]**Please take the time to review & rate us on iTunes or your podcast service of choice.

This is it. The big one. After many outside factors trying to take us down throughout most of December; we are finally here to chat about the year that was 2023. Certainly a year filled with highs and lows. The main event as always is our top ten where we rank and order the best horror films this year had to offer. We then give out our individual awards such as Best Death and see just how much TV dominated this year. And ending the show we have a big announcement regarding the future of this very podcast. Thank you for listening once again and we hope you enjoy this big finale podcast.

With the final show of the year fast approaching we have time to squeeze in this very bizarre film we spoke about on the show many years ago. Once we heard about Sawtooth Jack we knew we wanted to see Dark Harvest and after numerous delays it is finally here. Was Jack worth waiting for? Let’s find out. Elsewhere this week; Thanksgiving and Saw are both getting sequels which makes us happy. Robert Eggers’ Nosfaratu gets dated for next Christmas. And ending the show we give some brief thoughts before our year ender on why 2023 hasn't been the best year for films. Dark Harvest is available on streaming services worldwide nowFollow us on Twitter @SHBPodEmail us: [email protected]**Please take the time to review & rate us on iTunes or your podcast service of choice.
