Cinema horror is finally back, baby! But it’s with a haunting type film which we don't typically vibe with. But it is a Stephen King story and has some writers and a director we’ve enjoyed films from in the past so hopefully this will be more The Conjuring 2 than say 30 other nondescript films of this sub genre. Elsewhere this week; Black Mirror has a date and we’ll be discussing it very soon. Art the Clown will return to terrify once again. Resident Evil looks to be returning to the big...

350 episodes is a crazy landmark to hit and we are thankful people still enjoy this show after doing it for so long. We reminisce and look back briefly on the last 7 years then it’s straight to business with this week’s film. Influencer literally just came out this past weekend on Shudder and so we decided to take a chance knowing almost nothing about it. Did it pay off? Let’s find out. Elsewhere this week; production on Robert Eggers’ next film has just wrapped which sets up a tantalising...

One of our most anticipated entries in this Ranking Wes Craven retrospective since we started it years ago is finally here. Red Eye was a seminal film for us like so much of Wes’ filmography and we’ve been dying to talk about this tight thriller for quite some time. Now it has its time to shine and with the recent 4K release the timing couldn't have been any better. Perhaps the most underrated film in his entire career? We certainly think so. Ending the show Matt gives his thoughts on his...

Somewhat gone under the radar from back in January was the return of Kevin Williamson to not only the horror genre but the slasher world. So we need to rectify this mistake. Sick is the latest film to use Covid as the backdrop which is quickly becoming an overused concept but hopefully the other slasher elements are strong enough to make this film a great time. Elsewhere this week; Beetlejuice 2 is real. Black Mirror returns with 5 new episodes and we go over the titles and premises. And...

After we were both struck down in our prime a few weeks ago and couldn’t make it to the cinema we were anxiously waiting for this film to drop on demand. Now Renfield has arrived on the small screen and we can finally see Nic Cage playing Dracula like our little hearts desired. I guess this film has some other stuff in it also? Elsewhere this week; Mike Flanagan is finally returning to film and we couldn't be more excited and hyped for what he has in store for us. And ending the show Matt has...

After the joys of big cinema horror last week we are now immediately dropped back down to earth in search of digital horror releases to discuss. However this week’s film boasts some of the best reviews of a horror film all year and being huge found footage fans; here’s hoping The Outwaters can live up to the hype. Elsewhere this week; Black Mirror is finally returning after a 4 year hiatus and we cannot wait for the king of sci-fi TV to come back and pick up where it left off. The Outwaters...

After a short hiatus last week we are back with another massive horror release from 2023 to discuss. Evil Dead has been sensational in all forms whether it’s the camp craziness of Bruce Campbell in the original trilogy and TV to Fede Alvarez’s modern classic. So this latest franchise instalment has a lot to live up to. Evil Dead Rise sees many dramatic shifts to the formula. Is this one more recent Scream or Halloween? Let’s find out. Elsewhere this week; we get a couple of new trailers which...

Before we return to the cinema once again now is the perfect time to go back to our favourite horror directors back catalogue as we continue our quest to rank each and every Wes Craven horror film. And boy do we have a doozy here. Cursed has one of the most troubled and unfortunate productions of any Craven film; but is the final product still worth a watch? We dissect this Werewolf tale and then rank it as we fast approach the finale of this years in the making list. Elsewhere this week;...

You might have thought this day would never come but here we are covering a Winnie the Pooh film for this horror podcast. If you somehow missed this film after it gained quite a lot of media attention last year we go over just how this film exists first of all and then go about actually receiving it. It’s as insane as it sounds. Elsewhere this week; Eli Roth’s Thanksgiving comes out later this year after a long 16 year wait. Bill Skarsgard sadly won't be involved in HBO’s Welcome to Derry...

Screen life is one of our favourite sub genres to watch in recent years and Searching was one of the best thrillers so far within that sun genre. Missing is now the spiritual successor and continues to up the ante and bring all the tricks of new tech to the table in this rollercoaster of a film filled to the brim with twists and turns. Elsewhere this week; Rob Zombie has recorded a new commentary track for the 20th anniversary of House of 1000 Corpses. And ending the show we speculate on just...

The cinema is keeping up very busy and this week is the big budget sci-fi return of the creators behind A Quiet Place and the super underrated Haunt. 65 has a great premise that was sadly spoiled in the marketing but still has some tricks up its sleeve. Can these guys make another banger or is this one their first miss? Let’s find out. Elsewhere this week; Jordan Peele’s 4th film gets a date and we begin the speculation immediately. The Lighthouse gets a beautiful Collector’s Edition on 4K....

We may never get to do a show like this again so prepare yourselves for what is about to happen. This week we have two extremely important things to talk about. First up is the return of our most beloved horror franchise in the form of Scream VI. After a great addition to the franchise last year, can they top it with a bold looking sequel that promises new rules for this glorious franchise. We have so much to say about this film as both a sequel to last year’s entry and also a continuation of...

Cocaine Bear just might be the most simple premise for a film we see all year. But sometimes in a simple package can be an incredibly multi-layered and nuanced film about all kinds of serious messages and topics. Other times it's just about a bear doing some coke and going crazy. Let’s find out which one this film falls under. Elsewhere this week; Mike Flanagan continues to want to make a new A Nightmare on Elm Street film that we’re trying to wish into existence. And ending the show we...

The end of Ranking Wes Craven is fast approaching now but we have still found a film that neither of us have ever seen before. Vampire in Brooklyn holds a weird spot in Wes Craven’s filmography as he made it in between his last contribution to the Nightmare franchise and his first with Scream. Panned at release but somewhat of a cult classic these days; just what did we make of this Eddie Murphy vampire comedy? Let’s find out. Elsewhere this week; Welcome to Derry is officially on its way....

A very exciting film arrived on digital services last week that we just couldn't wait to see on the big screen next month so here we are discussing Brandon Cronenberg’s follow up to the outstanding Possessor. Infinity Pool stars the winners of our two acting categories from last year, a returning director we are big fans of and a premise of more melding of sci-fi and horror. Hype levels could not be higher. Let’s see if it lives up to its promise. Elsewhere this week; M3GAN gets its much...

FrightFest continues to provide new horror films to us not just in August but all throughout the year. We sadly just missed seeing Candy Land at last year’s festival but made sure to make note of it and check it out when it was available so here we are. Following a group of truck stop sex workers after multiple dead bodies start appearing; this indie film has quite a lot to get stuck into. Elsewhere this week; Infinity Pool arrives on demand which probably means we’ll be covering it next...

The return of M. Night Shyamalan is upon us. This man has had quite the career resurgence in recent years and we have really benefited from it for the show. He has already had 3 top 10 films for us and now comes his next project with a fascinating trailer behind it. Can he deliver yet again? We have a lot to discuss with this one. Elsewhere this week; I Know What You Did Last Summer is seemingly getting the legacy sequel treatment. Dexter gets two new shows. And our weekly The Last of Us chat...

This is a very special podcast. We really hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed recording it. Our main event is Unwelcome; a brand new British horror film we got to finally see on the big screen after many delays. It contains laughs, drama, emotion and great creature effects. Hopefully this one makes a splash with horror fans. Then we of course talk about episode 3 of The Last of Us and get emotional talking about how this show is perfectly translating one of our all time favourite...

The first on demand new horror film of 2023 sees two couples holidaying together when their kids start acting very weird. Are they just weird kids or are they actually some sort of devil in disguise? We get to the bottom of this and many more issues in this week's film. Also this week; Scream VI gets a proper first trailer that teases a very different Scream and Ghostface. Violent Night seems to be getting a sequel. And ending the show of course we need to discuss the latest episode of The...

2023 (officially) starts right now! The last couple of weeks have been great but now we are back where we belong. Watching a brand new horror film at the cinema. Hopefully M3GAN can start this new year right and continue this fantastic run we’ve been on for a while now. In the news we get to finally bring the announcement of Season 3 of Chucky which feels us with lots of joy. And ending the show and probably many shows in the next few weeks, we discuss the long awaited premiere of The Last of...

Before we officially kick off the new year with a brand new horror film at the cinema next week we are once again trying to finish off some of last year’s more intriguing looking films and next up is The Menu that just arrived on Disney Plus in the UK in the past week. With some of our favourite actors that have featured on the podcast before and some that havent, as well as an interesting premise and subtle trailer that looks to hide its secrets; does The Menu deliver a delicious main course...

Happy new year! 2023 is upon us and to kick off the new year we are checking out one of the few horror films that dropped late last year that we didn’t get to in time. Deadstream seems right up our alley with its screenlife take on haunted houses and disgraced YouTubers and seems at home on Shudder. Can this be a hit like Spree and hopefully not a miss like Dashcam? Let’s find out. In the regular news we have lots to talk about with Scream including the official title and a new look mask. And...

It all comes down to this. What a year it has been for the horror genre and it’s finally time we pick our definitive list of top 10 horror films from the past year and rank them. Many unprecedented firsts are made with this latest top 10 and we hope you enjoyed all these films as much as we did. But that's not all. We also give out our 8 special awards including Best Death and Best Surprise to celebrate even more high points across the genre this year. And finally we end with some listener...

Before closing out the year in style next week we decided to finally chat some more about our good friend Wes Craven and his return to the franchise that made him. This film does meta horror before it was all the rage and incorporates so many new elements into the franchise including a new look Freddy and the return of our leading lady. We discuss and then rank this film into our growing list and look back on how it paved the way for future films to achieve in the genre. Elsewhere this week;...

The last regular show of the year is here as we end with some christmas cheer, some bloody violence and hilarious one liners. David Harbour is Santa Claus in ways that you’ve never seen either before. Violent Night looks to join the pantheon of great Christmas horror such as Krampus and Anna and the Apocalypse; but can it stay on the nice list and deliver horror as well as Christmas spirit? Let’s find out. Elsewhere this week; Mike Flanagan makes the jump from Netflix to Amazon going forward....
