Here’s a collection of recent posts and podcast episodes.

Peace, Love and ... a Vampire!
Let's Scare Jessica to Death (1971) is a cult classic from the early horror boom. It's the story of would-be hippies who find themselves at the mercy of one groovy bloodsucker. Jason and Ali, though, aren't scared to death.

Rental Horrors
Leaky ceilings, mould and dysfunctional lifts. Can the mundane facts of renting a rundown apartment be the stuff of supernatural horror? Indeed. Join Jason and Ali for a chat about Dark Water (2005) and its star, the great Jennifer Connelly.

Sinning, Singing Bloodsuckers
Sinners (2025) is a rare thing: a popular blockbuster lauded by film critics. But what do Jason and Ali make of this hybrid of period drama, gothic horror and Mississippi Delta blues? Listen to find out!

The Evil Pooh and Piglet
Is Winnnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey (2023) as bad as all that? Definitely not. Jason and Ali praise an intelligent, iconoclastic instant classic.

Terry's Baby
Apartment 7A (2024) is the official prequel to Rosemary's Baby, made more than half a century after the original. Jason and Ali revisit the spooky Bramford building, its witchy residents, and the unsuspecting heroine who is to give birth to Satan's offspring.

Rosemary and Her Baby
Ira Levin's 1967 novel and Roman Polanski's 1968 film brought the horror genre into the cultural mainstream. Jason and Ali reflect on satanic cults, satanic sex and the resulting satanic baby.

Ghostnapped!
Poltergeist (1982) is a supernatural horror classic featuring many (real!) skeletons. It is also a fun-filled family comedy. Jason and Ali stare at old analogue TV screens to discuss the famous film and its 2015 remake.

Based on True Stories?
Frank de Felitta wrote two of strangest supernatural horror films of the 'boom' period. Jason and Ali get baffled by Audrey Rose (1977) and unsettled by The Entity (1982).

Monkey Around with Death
Osgood Perkins's The Monkey (2025) is a very loose adaptation of a 1980 Stephen King story. King's story takes death very seriously, but Perkins mocks the Grim Reaper. Jason and Ali talk about a very morbid comedy.

Ebola Syndrome
What do you get when you mix a pandemic, murderousness, international travel, pathological horniness, racism and size insecurity? Apparently, a film called Ebola Syndrome (1996).

House Haunting
Presence (2024) is an inventive, uncanny new take on the familiar terrain of the familial ghost story. An upper-middle class American family is haunted by the ghost of its inherent dysfunctionality. Jason and Ali reflect on annoying siblings, teen serial killers, and immersive Steadicam cinematography.

Eight-Legged Evil
Most spiders are totally harmless, but not in horror. Join Jason and Ali as they spin a web of pleasure and annoyance by talking about Arachnophobia (1990) and Sting (2024).

The Bleak Brilliance of David Lynch
The late David Lynch's masterpiece, Mulholland Drive (2001), is quirky, puzzling and playful. It is also one of the most horrific movies you'll ever see. Jason and Ali are properly disturbed.

Sex at the Cemetery
Are you a fan of Phantasm (1979)? Really?! It's poorly acted, poorly scripted, and very poorly funded. It's also insanely imaginative and has a cult following. Jason and Ali go to the graveyard.

Se7en (Seven)
David Fincher's Se7en (1995) is one of scariest crime movies around. But is it scary enough to be horror? Jason and Ali confess their deadly sins.

Rookie vs Demons
Last Shift (2014) and Malum (2023), by the same director, tell the same story. A young policewoman faces demonic forces in a haunted cop shop. Jason and Ali receive their Miranda rights.

Mask vs. Sex
Would you put on a scary samurai mask to put people off having sex? You shouldn't. You don't believe us? See Kaneto Shindo's hauntingly raunchy Onibaba (鬼婆) and join Jason and Ali for an episode on this masterpiece of horror cinema.

Maritime Menace
Do you enjoy swimming? Did you know there could sharks or pirahnas in the water? Jason and Ali wade into the classic tales of aquatic anguish, Jaws (1975) and Piranha (1978).

Bubba Ho-Tep
Do you need a break from extreme horror? How about a tale of an elderly Elvis Presley and his pal JFK doing battle with an ancient Egyptian soul-sucker in a Texan retirement home? Join Jason and Ali for a chat about one weird movie.

Terrifier 3
In Terrifier 3, Art is back for the fourth time in about a decade and he's not clowning around! Can he and his henchperson, Victoria, take down Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984) and Die Hard (1988) as the new must-see Christmas film? Join Ali and Jason for a jolly good time as we discuss Art the Clown's presence as the new splatter king and the perfect representative of the current cultural zeitgeist.
