And we're kicking off our annual 4 week long Halloween spook-tacular with a special about some devilishly delicious sweet treats!In Euan's Choice, "The Stuff", we get some semi-sentient evil ice cream.And In Fraser's Choice, "Candy Corn", we get what could possibly be mistaken for a horror film.Support the showMake sure to follow us on other platforms to keep up to date with the Podcast, and send us your questions and t...

Send us a textIt's time. for. Monkeys!!!That's right, this is a horror podcast after all, and what's scarier than a monkey?Okay, we know it seems like a bit of a silly theme, but monkeys have shown up in horror films from alllll the way back in the early 20th century. And one of our picks this episode is one of the earliest - an "adaptation" of Murders in the Rue Morgue by Poe. I say adaptation; other than a monkey, and some murders, there really aren't many similarities.Then we have a bit mo...

Send us a textIt's a real battle of old vs new in this one.We take The Wicker Man, possibly *the* quintessential religious horror film and pit it against ... 2024's The Exorcism...Safe to say we could have guessed what came out on top here without even watching the films, but if you want to hear us ripping this dogshit pseudo-successor to The Exorcist, you're not gonna want to miss this.Support the showMake sure to follow us on other platforms to keep up to date with the Podcast, and send us ...

Send us a textOhhh baby, this is like our Christmas. Except it comes around every 6 months or so...It's Friday the 13th! And that means we're talking about the franchise, or adjacent films. Euan's pick is perhaps an under-appreciated entry to the series - Part 7: The New Blood. Following a bottled deal to have a Carrie crossover, we're introduced to a new protagonist in the series, with sexy, supernatural results.Then we're looking at a wonderful satire of not only Friday the 13th, but all 80...

Send us a textWe love Dick. Dick Miller that is. A criminally underrated character actor, and close friend of horror aficionado Joe Dante, Dick Miller turns anything he touches to gold. We're checking out one of Joe Dante's first, Piranha, featuring Dick Miller as a "Mayor from Jaws" knock-off (but 100x better).Then we're bringing him back from the "dead" for Gremlins 2: The New Batch, and get to watch round 2 vs the little green menaces.Support the showMake sure to follow us on oth...

Send us a textG'day mates. Time to chuck another shrimp on the barbie and join us for a considerably less stereotyped episode than this description would suggest.Aussie's have been making waves in the world of horror in recent years, so we thought we'd honour that with one of their first "big" hits, The Howling part 3, and following that, we're checking out one of Fraser's favourites - The Tunnel.Support the showMake sure to follow us on other platforms to keep up to date with the Podcast, an...

Part 1 of our Holywood Walk of Fame special!In honour of two of our horror idols rightfully making their way onto Holywood Boulevard, we're watching some hidden gems from their backlog. Or at least, that was the idea...This week, it's John Carpenter, and we're watching The Eyes of Laura Mars, a lesser known, Giallo-inspired thriller, and one of John Carpenter's first directed feature films. Then we watched Firestarter. I have nothing good to say about this film, other than Carpenter's so...

It's part two of our Holywood Walk of Fame specials. This time, it's none other than Freddy Krueger himself, Mr Robert Englund.We tried to broaden our horizons by starting with one of his lesser known films, The Mangler - also starring Silence of the Lamb's Ted Levine - but this may have been a calculated misstep. But if you like haunted laundry machines that eat people, boy do we have a film for you!Thankfully, Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge takes us back to the Robert Englund w...

In this week's special memorial episode, we're honouring one of the greats - Mr Donald Sutherland. A man who left his mark on the horror world with one of the all-time greatest performances in Invasion of the Body Snatchers.But our picks for this week honour some of his lesser known performances in horror films. Dr Terror's House of Horrors, the first Amicus anthology film, and Fallen, a supernatural thriller with a stellar line-up.We hope you enjoy, and remember to point and scream at your l...

Happy (belated) Pride month all you gays and gals!This week, we're honouring another couple of horror films featuring or created by LGBT+/Queer creators.We're All Going to the World's Fair is the debut feature film from Jane Schoenbrun, a non-binary creator who shot onto the scene with this creepy and unique take on internet horror and what it can do to a struggling teen.We follow that up with Hellraiser (2022).

Food, glorious food. You like cannibalism? I hope so, because we got a cannibalism double bill this week. Intentionally or not, horror films about food do tend to veer into the old long pig.Starting with a debatable "horror", Delicatessen, we go to post-apocalyptic France and see how an apartment building tries to survive. Weird. Very weird.Then it's onto "Fresh". A disturbing look at how dating can end with a charming stranger.Yeesh, this one made me hungry.Support the Show.Make sure to...

How best to honour the late, great Roger Corman than by watching a couple of horror films?By no means the best director in the world, but an influence to many across the entertainment industry, and he gives us a couple of gems like Frankenstein Unbound and "giantess cheerleader gets naked and fights a giant spider". Truly magnificent.RIP, sir. You can be at peace now.Support the Show.Make sure to follow us on other platforms to keep up to date with the Podcast, and send us your questions and ...

Oh Cryptids, Cryptids, Cryptids. How you have enriched our lives with tales of wonderous monsters and urban legends.Just a shame that the depictions of them in these films prove to be less-than-legendary.Not even Laura Linney can save us from a "bold" retelling of the Mothman legacy. And not even Jesse Plemons can save us from the little-bit-kinda-racist use of the Wendigo.Disappointing watches, but we had fun laughing about them!Support the Show.Make sure to follow us on other platforms to k...

Weee-ohhhh. Hear that? It's the sound a foghorn warning you to keep away from our silly banter.Yes, it's a bit of Dark Fantasy this week. Sadly, a difficult one to define when it comes to horror, but nonetheless we've done our best to pick out a couple of bangers for you.Starting with a bit of Clive Barker, we visit Midian and get up close and personal with the Night Breed. Then, we're off to the high seas to join Pattinson and Defoe in a nightmarish hellscape of gulls and hentai. It's a...

Ooooh, it's a spooky, spacey adventure this week.A long time coming in covering one of the staples of horror - Aliens!A couple of solid picks this week too. Quatermass and the Pit was one of both of our first introductions into sci-fi, and Nope proved to be an instant classic as well. Comparing old and new, big budget vs low budget, but both incredible films. Enjoy!Support the Show.Make sure to follow us on other platforms to keep up to date with the Podcast, and send us your questions and th...

We're going back to the future in this one! Well, back to the past but roughly the time when Back to the Future came out so...You know what I was trying to do.Anyway, Pieces! The Burning! A couple of classics from the time of the rise of slasher films. We can definitely see not only their inspirations, but what they went on to inspire. The 80s were an interesting time to be a horror fan (or so I'm told), so let's appreciate it in all it's campy glory!Support the Show.Make sure to follow us on...

Ooooooooh this is a good one, folks.
We all know Fraser loves a Found Footage film - but sadly he didn't bring the sauce this week. I think we managed to find the only universe where a found footage Bigfoot horror film turns out to be the most tedious and lackluster 90 minutes imaginable.
However, Euan's pick this week didn't disappoint. A first time watch for him, [REC] takes us to the midnight streets of Barcelona and gives us one hell of a real-time zombie thrill.
There's some ups and...

If you're calling about the missing feet, leave your address and the replacement feet will be rushed to you by my grandson Jody.
That's right, the man, the legend, Mr Vincent Price is our subject this week. We picked a couple of his lesser-known gems to celebrate.
Enjoy some hits, some duds, and some impressions, all this week on Friday Night Fratricide!! wooOOOOOoooo

We're transforming from brothers who have not watched Raw to those who have. And oh boy was it a fun (?) watch.
But first, we're going back to the early 20th century for some classic horror with Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. A surprising watch, in the best possible way, and a film that paved the way for many films and comics to come.
And Raw. Raw. The less said about Raw, the better. Just watch it and enjoy the French gore at it's finest.
