89: 1950s British Horror

Celebrate the upcoming apocalypse with the Devils, as they dive into the movies End of Days, Holocaust 2000, Save the Green Planet!, Night of the Comet and Virus: Resurrection Day. Test your knowledge of 2024's horror releases in a special quiz, and hear our Highs & Lows of the year! Thanks for listening, and take cover!!!

This month, the Devils get stuck into the brilliant filmography of Brian De Palma, but there are special guest appearances (in the chat) from Caroline Munro, Stephen Mulhern, Churchill the dog and some naughty, naughty doctors. Plus, and actual live improvised song from man like Si-Plotz!

With thanks to listener Danny for the suggestion, this month we've been looking at recent movies with a Class War theme: High-Rise, Parasite, Ready or Not, Infinity Pool and Saltburn. Plus we review new releases Timestalker, Terrifier 3 and Woman of the Hour.

When we're feeling Jekyll, we talk about movies based on Robert Louis Stephenson's famous horror novel, as well as Coralie Fargeat's phenomenon The Substance, which is Jekyll & Hyde-adjacent. When we're feeling Hyde, we discuss the You Bet! revival, slime and gunge, folk horror based on The Great British Bake Off, and ask what Mickey Mouse is serving. But which of our personalities will be victorious this month? Listen to find out! And don't forget to email the Horror Helpdesk: [email protected]

This month the Devils have been watching movies full of cackling witches, flying heads, magic spells and, erm, mayoral elections. It's a quintet of quite bizarre Indonesian horror movies from 1980-82, including Mystics in Bali and Queen of Black Magic. Along the way our discussion takes in surprising BBFC ratings, our Great Lord Willy Wasser, unnecessarily aggressive Carter USM fans, Yeti spaff, and the Mannequin Pis of Piss. And under the spotlight in this month's Horror Helpdesk segment: a question of continuity in the Alien franchise.

This month the Devils check out the best and absolute worst in no-budget horror cinema, ranging from the well-known like Skinamarink to the thankfully obscure like Attack of the Cockface Killer. Plus we review new releases Longlegs, Maxxxine and In a Violent Nature, and figure out what the scariest movies of the decade so far have been!

Apologies to our listeners in the north of England; it's not your fault that Inside No.9, Cilla Black, the Worst Radio Times Letter of the Month and Clear Sound mode on Simon's TV made us so regionalist! Let's blame a bad mood caused by having to watch the films of Roberta Findlay for this episode. We cover Blood Sisters, Lurkers, Prime Evil, The Oracle and Snuff, while in the Horror Helpdesk we examine how far we can stretch the definition of horror.

Come back with us to the 1950s and discover the first ever body horror FX movie, anti-European propaganda, an offensive-faced killer and more! Plus on the Horror Helpdesk, we consider different difficulty levels for certain films, while our Highs & Lows include new horror-adjacent releases Love Lies Bleeding and Hoard.

It's another fine episode of our horror movie podcast, and this month we talk about Nando's, Free Willy, pork scratchings, Catchphrase, pasta shapes, Exeter nightlife and Saved By the Bell. There's also a bit about conspiracy horror, with Blow Out, Jacob's Ladder and Broadcast Signal Intrusion among the films discussed. Plus, our Highs & Lows include new releases Immaculate, Monkey Man and The First Omen, and there's a question to the Horror Helpdesk about Late Night with the Devil.

In this month's episode we look at some saucy nuns with horrific habits, in the movies Torn Priestess, Satánico Pandemonium, Benedetta, Nude Nuns with Big Guns and The Other Hell. Plus we deal with one listener's sticky problem in our Horror Helpdesk segment, which YOU can contact at [email protected]!
