Nature or nurture? Would watching Jack the Ripper, your father, killing your mother make you a violent psycho? Why do I have Hot Chocolate's "It Started With A Kiss" in my head? Join us as we fail to answer any of these questions when we discuss the 1971 Hammer film Hands of the Ripper.  Contact us at any of these places: Twitter:    @verybrithorror Facebook: averybritishhorror Email: [email protected]

It's still Christmas in the A Very British Horror household. We're going to a friend's new country pad to have a very over indulgent Christmas dinner. What could possibly go wrong?

Do let us know what you think of this episode.  You can contact us in the following ways: Facebook:...

SEASONS GREETINGS ONE AND ALL. Love him or hate him, you can't argue that Mark Gatiss has delivered 3 Ghost Stories for Christmas, two M R James adaptations and one original.  Tractate Middoth, The Dead Room & Martin's Close. We go through these one by one and give our views on them. Are they any good? We also name drop a lot of people in an effort to get them to like us! Also Paul has an amazing fact about himself that connects him to Sacha Dhawan in Tractate Middoth so stay tuned after...

Werewolves from outer space have decided to Attack the Block! We talk about the film that launched the careers of big name Doctor Who and Star Wars actors. And Star Trek too. Nearly. We also mention (friend of the podcast) Nick Frost, which causes Chris to lament his lack of stardom after our Truth Seekers interview episode.  As usual we can be contacted via: Facebook:  averybritihhorror Twitter: @verybrithorror Email: [email protected]

We check out author / Dream weaver Garth Marenghi's Darkplace and as looking at it from a horror perspective alone would be very odd we drafted in one track lover, editor of comedy website Comedy To Watch and all round Rick Dagless super guy, Mr Alex Finch to help with our comedy (we need it!!!) As usual you can contact us via: Facebook: www.facebook.com/averybritishhorror Twitter: @verybrithorror Email: [email protected] Alex Finch can be found at the Comedy To Watch...

Welcome to our very exciting, special episode. We interview Nick Frost and Samson Kayo about their new Amazon Prime Video show, Truth Seekers, which launches on October 30th, 2020. It is really rather excellent and fans of British horror and weirdness will enjoy it, we think.  If you want to know more about us and what we do you can follow us on  Facebook.com/averybritishhorror Twitter: @verybrithorror Email: [email protected] Please follow us / like us/ leave us a review.

We visit a house on a hill thats haunted. No not that one. Or that one. Its the Legend of Hell House.    

In this special we travel to the crazy and disjointed world of Krull. Chris and Paul have for many years wanted to discuss fantasy films, a genre they both love. Lockdown has given them the opportunity and for one episode only (unless its really successful) they are becoming A Very British Fantasy. So get your Glaives ready, gather as many young actors before they get famous and someone with one eye and try to work out whats going on.  (By the way I realise that Bernard Bresslaw has also...

We delve into the world of late eighties children's horror, Moondial.  Is it a ghost story or a time travel story? Or both? We're not sure. Join us, creepy masked kids, Jacqueline Pearce and children from 3 different time lines and we get very dizzy spinning on the Moondial. (Paul's still experimenting with positioning his new mic so is a bit echoey here). Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/averybritishhorror Twitter: @verybrithorror Email: [email protected] Tony Sands excellent...

Join us for our first proper episode during the lockdown as the we discuss the 1999 Tim Burton horror Sleepy Hollow.  Is it really British? Is Johnny Depp any good ? And is this the film that resurects Christopher Lee's career? All these questions and more will be answered in this very episode. Listen now before you lose your head! (It was obviously I couldn't resist that one!) Speak to us via Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/averybritishhorror Twitter: @verybrithorror Email:...

We're back and in lockdown  for our Lockdown Special. I say special but its really mostly Chris talking, whilst Paul agrees every now and then, about what we've watched or read in the last few weeks. The special bit is that we've worked out how to record over the internet so expect more episodes very soon.  As ususal you can contact us via the following routes. Twitter: @verybrithorror Facebook: search for A Very British Horror Email: [email protected] Please leave us a nice review...

Like the film we talk about in this episode, WE'RE BACK after a gap of 8 years. Christopher Lee is also back in the role that made him famous, Dracula Prince of Darkness. Lets see what he has to say after all the time away.  Will Peter Cushing be back or will they give his role to kick ass monk? Come with us to Castle Dracula! Quick note about the audio: the room we normally record in has been redecorated and has lost some of the soft furnishings. Therefore the audio is slightly echoey. Find...

Episode 51 The Creeping Flesh Are you worried about turning evil? Don't worry, get yourself innoculated against evil, now! All you need is an ancient Papua New Guinean skeleton and some water. Join us as we watch The Creeping Flesh. Twitter: @verybrithorror Facebook: averybritishhorror Email: [email protected]

Its our 50th episode and to celebrate we're off to explore some local tombs. We're not sure why but maybe that robed thespian might be able to tell us. He seems to be be chatting away to that woman from Dynasty, Robin Hood, the bloke from the 1st series of the Avengers that wasn't Steed and two other blokes. I'msure approaching him will be a good idea.  So join us we hear some Tales from the Crypt. Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AVeryBritishHorror/ Twitter: @verybrithorror Email:...

We're back and this episode YOU are the hero! Turn to page 1. If you decide to listen on then turn to 238 but first roll one die. If you roll a 6 or less then join us as we go back to the 80s and discuss the Fighting Fantasy Gamebook House of Hell.

We both get miserable watching the BBC version of Day of the Triffids. No not the Eddie Hazard one, the proper one from the 80s. Time to get the weed killer out as we look at Day of the Triffids.  Do get in contact with us via: Twitter: @verybrithorror Facebook: www.facebook.com/AVeryBritishHorror Email:  [email protected].  

Merry Christmas to you all.   Heres a little bonus episode for you that was recorded back in the spring of this year.

Enjoy and don't forget to review us on iTunes!

Merry Christmas or Bah Humbug! We explore the greatest Christmas ghost story of all time, Charles Dicken's A Christmas Carol, with the help of some of our listeners. We look indepth at its popularity.... who are we kidding, its just us rambling on for an hour!

We're back, finally! And this episode we're both Kung Fu fighting with Hammer's odd mix of gothic vampire horror and kung-fu, Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires. Chris also manages to explain how the continuity of all of Hammer's Dracula films works.  In the episode we mention a narrated soundtrack LP that was available at the time and here it is in in all its glory on youtube. Useful if you can't be bothered to watch the whole film as its only about 45 minutes...

After spending ages trying to sort out technical issues, we return with an episode neither of us has prepared for in the slightest. So in desperation Paul finds an online Hammer film quiz and decides to see just how much Chris reallly knows.  You can play along at home too!    Find us on Facebook: AVeryBritishHorror Twiiter: @verybrithorror Email: [email protected] Instagram: A Very British Horror.
