This episode was originally published on 9th April 2018. It is reuploaded in it's original form with no edits as an SHB Classic. One of our most anticipated films of the year is finally here! After an amazing trailer and a concept that we fell in love with; we really hoped A Quiet Place would deliver. In our discussion we cover everything from this film’s use of sound, it’s core themes of family and parenthood and how it draws from a wide variety of films such as Interstellar and Don’t...

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...

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...

This latest entry in the Hell House LLC franchise dropped on Shudder over the Halloween period and we’re glad we’re finally getting a chance to discuss it. We’ve really enjoyed this low budget found footage series over the years and were curious to see what this first spin-off film would be all about. Elsewhere this week; the only thing worth talking about is the seemingly collapse of Scream 7 and what this means for the future of the franchise. It’s a doozy and we have a lot of opinions...

After a little break we are back with a film we’ve waited 16 years for. After a fake trailer as part of the Grindhouse experience back in 2007; we’ve long wondered what a feature length version of that ridiculous trailer would look like. Well wonder no more as we finally get to see if it was worth the wait or if it should have stayed as a silly fake trailer. This is also remarkably the first time we’ve ever covered an Eli Roth film for the main discussion on the podcast and it’s long overdue....

Creepshow made its long awaited return to Shudder next month so it's about time we talk all about it. 2 years since the last season and Season 4 brings us vampires, ghosts, werewolf, monsters; just about everything horror related you could ever want. We give our verdict on this latest season and how it shaped up to previous entries. Elsewhere this week; Terrfier 3 is officially coming next year and is a Christmas slasher. And ending the show we somehow find a way to talk about Hellraiser yet...

To officially round out October and spooky season even though I’m sure plenty will continue into November; this week we are chatting about the latest video game adaptations to make the jump to the big screen. This franchise has been around for a decade already and has a huge fan base around the world. How does its jumpscare formula adapt to a new medium? Let’s find out. Elsewhere this week; Mike Flanagan reveals the sensational cast for his new film. It Follows is getting a sequel after ten...

It’s always a special occasion when we get to cover Mike Flanagan for this show and this one is no different. After The Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass; surely he can’t produce another masterpiece as he bids farewell from Netflix for pastures new. We try to cover everything this show has to offer but we could honestly talk about it for weeks. Ending the show we talk about the greatest physical media release we've ever purchased and the latest episode of Chucky continuing to deliver...

V/H/S made its glorious return a few years ago after way too much time away and it’s hard to believe we’ve now had six entries in this fantastic found footage franchise. Shudder has given this franchise a second life and we’re back to chat about all things video tape with an 80’s twist. We also give our thoughts on the new sci-fi film The Creator and debate what are the best foreign language horror films of all time. V/H/S/85 is available on Shudder worldwide nowFollow us on Twitter...

The big horror franchise returns just keep on coming. Hot on the heels of an actually good Saw film (we still can’t believe it either) now sees the return of one of the most influential horror films of all time. We’ve long been fatigued with this sub genre but with a strong trailer we were willing to give this film a go. Was it worth it? Let’s find out. We also chat about the return on the small screen of Chucky who continues to fill our hearts with joy seeing this little guy once again. The...

You already know the drill. We love Saw and have spent so much time debating this franchise over the years on this very show. From the highs of the first 6 films to the lows of the recent films; we’ve really been through the ringer with this one. But we can’t help but keep coming back for more. Can they finally break the curse and make the first truly great Saw film in over a decade? Let’s find out. Elsewhere this week; the entire Child’s Play franchise is coming to 4K via Arrow Video but...

With an incredibly stacked October on the horizon; we have found a super interesting film to fill the gap until then. No One Will Save You combines home invasions with sci-fi and has a unique twist which no film we have ever covered before has done. Arriving on Hulu in the states and Disney Plus in the uk recently; this is a film you do not want to miss. Elsewhere this week; Smile 2 will be haunting until next Halloween. A new book covering the Firefly Trilogy was just released. And ending...

After a good time last week talking about some classic Craven we are back to find hopefully some new horror worth talking about. The Blackening wasn’t on our radar until we saw a very funny trailer and knew this was something we should watch. Does the humour translate to the whole film and more importantly just how much horror is in this one? Let’s find out. Elsewhere this week; the return of Chucky is imminent but it does have a disappointing release schedule. And ending the show Matt...

Over 3 years ago we started ranking all of Wes Craven’s horror films. And now it’s finally over. My Soul to Take is the last film to add to the list and unless we add on his TV films; our ranking will be complete. It’s been a long road with many highs and a few lows discussing our favourite director’s entire catalogue and we couldn't be happier to have spent so long celebrating this legend’s career. Where will this final film end up? Let’s find out. Elsewhere this week; Thanksgiving becomes...

After a couple of weeks away we are back and more ready than ever for the horror world to wow us once again. We spoke about this film being pulled from UK cinemas just before it’s release but after being put on demand to die we figured we’d see if this latest Dracula flick has anything to offer or not. Elsewhere this week; Shudder is bringing the heat in October with the return of Creepshow and V/H/S. Chucky returns very soon as well. Arrow Video acquires yet another banger for a 4K release...

We couldn't delay it anymore. It’s time for us to finally talk about Ari Aster’s return and the crazy 3 hour ride that is Beau is Afraid. This truly is one of the most bizarre and unique films we've ever covered and we do our best to try and encapsulate what makes this film as insane as it is. Elsewhere this week; a newly released horror film in the states we were looking forward to has been pulled from UK distribution. And ending the show Matt has been checking out Twisted Metal while Mike...

This week’s show might not be what you expect. We are discussing a brand new original cinema horror which is always our favourite topic and whilst on the surface this is another possession film that we are increasingly tired of; this discussion is one of the most surprising of the year. Perhaps this sub genre doesn't suck after all! Elsewhere this week; Scream 7 gets a new director which of course sparks an entire conversation about the franchise and what we hope to see moving forward. And...

There is so much interesting horror content to get through this week. Finally! After taking a break from horror last week we are back with a vengeance to discuss a super interesting film called God is a Bullet. The trailer grabbed our attention but can this film with its eye watering runtime do the same? Let’s find out. Elsewhere this week; Saw X finally gets a first trailer and we are stunned by how good it looks. Arrow Video is releasing a dream come true box set this Halloween. Stephen...

Now for something completely different. For our own sanity we have decided to not watch a horror film this week but instead treat ourselves to a fun side quest and discuss the latest Christopher Nolan film to grace the big screen. Oppenheimer is a truly one of a kind film and hopefully you enjoy us chatting about something completely different to our usual grind which will continue next week. Elsewhere this week in the news; Saw X reveals its first plot details and we try really hard to stay...

Well this certainly wasn’t on our bingo card for 2023. A Spanish language spin off of Bird Box released 5 years after the last film. What a strange but actually very cool concept which is an interesting way to flesh out a world and setting. We dissect whether this sequel can deliver and also how much of Bird Box we actually remember at this point (very little). Elsewhere this week; FrightFest makes some big changes which we give our opinion on. The Last of Us gets even more acclaim. And...

The cinema can give us some unbelievable highs when it comes to horror but it can also give us some of the most uninspired trash. Here’s hoping the 5th Insidious film can break the trend of the recent sequels and deliver a worthy successor to the original film. With a super interesting premise and returning cast members there is definitely a big reason why this film got made and we break down exactly where this movie worked and plenty of other areas that sadly didn’t work. Elsewhere this...

After a fun side affair talking about Black Mirror the last couple of weeks we are back to our bread and butter. Discussing brand new horror films. And boy is the horror landscape quiet right now. We discuss why that is and also discuss a film called Malum which we didn't even know existed this time last week. Ending the show Matt had finished reading The Scarlet Gospels and explains why every hellraiser fan owes it to themselves to read this book. Malum is available on digital services...

Continuing from last week we are talking all about the magnificent return of Black Mirror. And this turned out to be a lot more horror focused than we expected. We have 3 episodes left to discuss and there sure is alot to get into. This season has completely broken the mould of what even is a Black Mirror episode anymore whilst still bringing the classic morality and ethics with a technology spin that we know and love so well. 4 years is a long time to wait for a new season but this sure was...

The best sci-fi show on TV is back. After 4 years away we cannot wait to see what the latest season of this incredible show has to offer and we are sure gonna savour it. First up is Joan is Awful; where a normal woman suddenly gets a Netflix adaptation of her life and the perils that ensue. And then Loch Henry; which tackles the ethics and realities of the current world of true crime documentary addiction that we live in. We’re so happy this show is back and hope you’re all enjoying and...
