And we've had to squeeze them in, because my goodness we have a lot to talk about this episode - we've got loads of news and other Horrible Business to get through, and we have quite a bit to say about a very Fresh Hell too.   What Fresh Hell Is This? - Lockwood & Co (2023), from Netflix.

      Did you think we'd left you for ever? Heaven forfend - we love talking to you dearest listeners about horror too much to ever do that. Instead we've been preparing for this bumper crop, covering what we've been up to over the last 9 months, what we've enjoyed, some small bits of new and then the meat of the episode - watching three horror films and talking to you about them. We start with a delightful horror comedy, then jump straight into it with two recent remakes of peerless classic horror films. Are they duplicating the previous lightning in a bottle, or licking a 9 volt battery? Listen to find out.

It was recorded straight off the internet voice call so the  sound quality is a bit variable, with some background noise we couldn't completely excise, but I think you'll agree that the content more than makes up for it.

      Due to scheduling conflicts and the fact that the world is currently experiencing a mild apocalypse we haven't been able to get a new episode together for this week, but we have something possibly even better - one of our Short Sharp Shocks featuring our awesome guest host from Episode 30, the always delightful and informative Doree!   This is the first of three short episodes where each of us pick a lesser-known short story that we love. Doree has first pick, and she's chosen The Willows by Algernon Blackwood for your pleasure.

      Well unless you picked 'Worldwide Plague' in the 'How We're All Going To Die' sweepstake you're probably not feeling too happy at the moment, so here's something to take your mind off things on this bleak Monday morning. This episode we're going all culinary, albeit for Long Pig, as we review, compare and contrast two films featuring women who eat human flesh, in very different ways.    And in an unusual bit of planning our Easily Available Horror is also one featuring cannibals, so nobody can accuse us of not doing the homework. And this episode can also be used as a useful reference for when we run out of food and turn on each other.   Easily Available Horror: Somos Lo Que Hay (trans: We Are What We Are) (2010) from Amazon.

      With all that's going on in the world, wouldn't it be nice to know that there's someone clever in charge? Someone with all the info, who knows what's best for everyone, who pledges unwavering loyalty to their infernal master? Maybe without that last bit, but this episode we're looking at two pieces of horror about mystical cults, and an audio horror and the usual news are a grim cherry on top that complete this morbid cake.   Easily Available Horror: Herbert West: Reanimator, by the H.P.

      As everything is terrible in the world right now we're regressing to when we were 18 and our biggest worry was whether we could get a piss and a pint in before the 12" version of Temple Of Love '92 finished. And in the cinemas at the time skies were black, coats were even blacker, and everyone ran across rooftops whilst listening to Stone Temple Pilots. It was a happier time. So we're getting all nostalgic, and also looking at a new film, but one featuring a 90's musician, because the present day is scary and wrong.   Easily Available Horror: He Never Died (2015) from Netflix.

      I hope you've got a comfortable set of headphones, because this is a long one. Prepare yourself for the longest Easily Available Horror yet, as we spend over half an hour talking about a very niche 1970's horror film about undead bikers. And that's just the starter, as our Double Feature is a brace of films taking Nazism into the 21st Century. You know, just like in real life!   One From The Vaults: Psychomania (1972), available on Archive.org and YouTube.
