Hammered Horror

This month we look at Abominable from 2006. Starring Lloyd Braun, Pat Coombs, Haley Joel Not Osment and Ricky Tomlinson.

We're back with our new monthly show! For real this time, honest. This month we attempt to unravel a surreal sci-fi horror from 1982. It's the fabulous "Xtro".

Like Michael Myers and everything being pumpkin spice flavored, we're back just in time for Halloween. 

Paul and Martyn reconvene under the killing moon for part 2 of their Werewolf Special. This time they look at one of the most maligned sequels of all time with 1985's THE HOWLING 2.

Join the podcast team that can frequently be found for sale down chinatown and who always avoid sunlight as they celebrate the festive season with one of the great marriages of Christmas and Horror; GREMLINS! What tangents await? which trivia is mangled? Did Hitlers iCloud account get hacked? Download before midnight to find out!

Theorising that one could podcast within their own lifetime, Mr Paul and Mr Ash refilled their glasses and talked... It's the final episode of our four part Halloween TV Special! And we're looking at a sinister episode of time travel TV Series Quantum Leap! Who is Sam there to Save? Why does anyone realistically need to own a black Mamba? And why does that Stevie kid seem so familiar? Some of these questions may be answered as the intrepid twosome hope that the next leap will be the leap home...

It's part 3 of the 4 part Hammered Horror Halloween Special and for this episode we're back in the realm of daytime mild peril with a spooky episode of DIAGNOSIS: MURDER, with the Van Dykenamic duo of Dick and Barry as they get those 'Bela Lugosi Blues'. Caution: May contain actual vampire.

When people think of hard edged gritty world renowned police drama they think of one name: Bergerac. When Mr Paul and Mr Ash think of Bergerac they think of questionable accents, Geoff Capes, and the mysterious allure of the enigma that is John Nettles. Oh, and a giant invisible killer bird. Probably.

Hammered Horror kicks off a 4-part halloween special by delving into the murder capital of the USA: Cabot Cove, and it's own personal Grim Reaper: Jessica Fletcher. Join Mr Paul and Mr Ash as they try and work out who is taking the fall for her evil crimes and why you never see Paul McCartney and Angela Lansbury in the same place.

Welcome fiends. Impossibly hairy, with drool dripping from a yawning maw, Ash can't be with us this time. So please join Paul and Martyn as they embark on a four part werewolf series, beginning with 1961's "The Curse of the Werewolf".

Funny old game, Horror movies... a game of two halves. This is especially true in the case of SPOOKIES from 1986. Mr Paul and Mr Ash put their heads together to unravel what sort of child expects a birthday party in an abandoned mansion, exactly how old are our protagonists meant to be, and who exactly shot what and where? 

Just in time for 4/26: Alien Day 2016 Mr Paul and Mr Ash sit down with booze in hand to cover Alien. Not just the film, the entire damned saga. Yes, and Prometheus. Yes, and those AvP movies no one likes to talk about. And the comics, the books, the games, what's to come and the variety of tat available on the 26th of April for the discerning Xenomorph Enthusiast. It's our biggest episode ever!

It's another newscast! Although given the amount of time it took Ash to edit this it could be considered more of a news retrospective. Regardless the Hammered Boys get together in Pauls bedroom and ruffle the sheets to uncover stories about Hellraiser, unwanted Rings and plastic tat. Paul also reviews some films and Ash talks about his recent encounters with a pair of zombie titles. Plus there is some bonus horrific violence.

Just in time for the Chinese New Year, Mr Paul and Mr Ash return to travel to distant lands in search of The Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires. Can P-Cush save the day? What of his Sons burgeoning removal van empire? And will Ash ever get over Chunking?

Ash takes a few moments out to chat with HH Rookie Vanessa who has joined the team to write reviews, vent about Dirty Dancing and name and shame owners of carpeted bathrooms!

Mr Paul and Mr Ash find some Christmas cheer and return to the Hammered House to record an episode just in time for the most jolly time of year. Pull up a yule log and warm your ballsacks by the open fire as we leave for Finland in search of RARE EXPORTS.   Twitter: https://twitter.com/HammeredHorrorhttps://twitter.com/ravenevermorehttps://twitter.com/Spurt_Russell  Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/HammeredHorror  Email:hammeredhorror@yahoo.co.uk Website:http://www.hammeredhorror.com

Can collecting hobo Mr Paul and mulleted rebel without a clue Mr Ash return to tackle a Frank Darabont masterpiece! No, not the one with the zombies, the one with The Blob, which is called... The Blob. We take a look at this vastly underrated remake which shows that even in the late 1980s, the USA was still terrified of communists. Direct Download Link

Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water; Mr Ash is joined this week by Tony Giles of Shipping Records and The Damn Fine Podcast to avoid discussing Jaws: The Revenge as much as possible. Michael Caines acting career, vinyl, soundtracks, other shark movies and the novelisation all take precedence over the actual film.   Shipping Records can be found at http://www.shippingrecords.co.uk and https://twitter.com/shippingrecords on twitter The Damn Fine Podcast can be found at https://soundcloud.com/damn-fine-podcast and https://twitter.com/thedamnfinecast on twitter.   Twitter: https://twitter.com/HammeredHorror https://twitter.com/ravenevermore https://twitter.com/Spurt_Russell    Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HammeredHorror    Email: hammeredhorror@yahoo.co.uk   Website: http://www.hammeredhorror.net

The unrequited bromance that is Mr Paul and Mr Ash return once again to pay tribute to the Rowdy one, Roddy Piper. No coconut will go uncracked or kilt unlifted as they remove the subliminal coating from John Carpenters cinematic counter-commercialism piece 'They Live'.

It has often been said that up North, it is grim. That was especially true during the 1970s, what with all the trouble at mill, three day week and of course, the zombies. Join Paul and guest host Martyn as they don flat caps and travel back to this golden era of Northern England as they watch "The Living Dead at the Manchester Morgue".   Twitter: https://twitter.com/HammeredHorror https://twitter.com/3Amoviegos   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HammeredHorror   Email: hammeredhorror@yahoo.co.uk   Website: http://www.hammeredhorror.net

Mr Paul and Mr Ash are ready to punch your ticket on board the Horror Express. Join the dynamic duo as they discuss one of the films that united the Gentlemen of Horror; the original gangster Peter Cushing and the moustached wonder that is Christopher Lee as they fight a zombie alien monkey... thing. Also, Telly Savalas turns up. Who loves ya baby! P.S. Please excuse any crackling coming from Mr Pauls end... he's consulting a physician.

Ruh Roh! Paul and Ash scramble on board the Pisstery Machine and head on down to N'awlins with Scooby and the Gang to investigate the mystery of Moonscar Island. Does Scooby have worms? Will we ever know the joys of Big Mona? Where do all these giant hairballs keep coming from? None of these questions may be answered as we spend some time down on the bayou.

It's time for another trip to the depths of depravity and this time we explore the shapeshifting horror that is 'The Thing'. No, not the 2011 Prequel. The Good one. With Wilford Brimley.  EDIT: When I hit release on this post I was unaware of the passing of Richard Dysart. Thankfully I don't think we do him any disservice of disrespect in this episode and that we do right by the part he had to play in this legendary film.
