Spoilers of the Damned!

New episodes broadcast live on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sotdcast On this episode the gang discuss cool rock band Ghost, who it's safe to say with their general aesthetic and officially licensed sex toys, fit the bill as at least 'horror-adjacent'. Aside from being very excited about the imminent release of the 2019 Resident Evil 2 remake, there's also time to get incredibly frustrated at IO and have a meaty 15-minuter on the Jovovich RE movies. Washing all that nonsense away is this week's focus - Se7en. AKA Seven. Street name? 7. David Fincher's fantastically oppressive dark thriller was a rewatch for all of us, cementing itself as not just some cool teenage edgelord movie of our past but a shining beacon of excellent characters and gritty themes. Just, don't think too hard about who is scarier... John Doe or *gulp*... Kevin Spacey. Oooh I'm all a-shiver.

New episodes broadcast live on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sotdcast On this episode we explore one man's pure and virtuous love for his big lad, the one and only good-horsey-boy, Plato. There are some other discussions including The Stick Of Truth, Fallout 76 and a history of online griefing, Chris's "games as board games" philosophy and endless grind games too, but let's be honest - it's really all about the sweet, moving and totally not sexual connection between horse and man. Somehow we also found time to discuss The Cat Lady, a very interesting vision made by mostly one person and focussing around some genuinely good ideas and art, that are lost within some other shoddy, less realised ideas. Cool. That's that bit written up. Can I go back to stroking my horse now please? Thanks.

New episodes broadcast live on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sotdcast PLEASE do NOT interrupt us, we are on the verge of a scientific BREAKTHROUGH, blurring the lines betwixt life and death! This week we discussed the glorious 80's dark horror comedy, Re-Animator, which we all liked, even when a disembodied head committed a heinous crime indeed. Also, we invented Robocop: The Musical. You know you'd go to see it. Join us for a myriad of other topics including Michael Crichton, the nature of story writing and when it goes wrong *COUGH WESTWORLD COUGH LOST*, games that let you talk the Devil into setting himself on fire, VR Horror, Star Trek The Next Generation... honestly, we spoil you lot. Please consume these offerings and let us get back to the lab, we have work to do...

New episodes broadcast live on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sotdcast Can I interest you in some naughty videotapes? This one here, Sir? OH SIR! How distinguished a selection - such a connoisseur! This one's called Bill Pullman's ROUGH SAX; four and a half hours of solo man-on-sax action. And if that doesn't do it for you, you could always try remembering it in your OWN way? Yes, the guys finally tackle a Lynch film on the podcast, and over the course of two hours almost manage to convince Chris that he doesn't hate Lost Highway, the late 90's psychogenic-fugue, neo-noir ride into the dark night. Somehow though, there was still time for discussion about up-and-comer Dead By Daylight, the glory of L4D mods, SH2 Enhanced Edition and more. Just remember, when the podcast finishes, carry on listening as it replays to TRULY understand the podcast...

New episodes broadcast live on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sotdcast It's been eighty four years.... but we're finally back. A new episode, releasing right here and now in 2020, begins with recordings made in 2018! Can you taste the freshness? Enjoy this stroll down memory lane as we revisit the iconic Bioshock and the world of Rapture. Along the way we discuss the failings of open-world games, Chris raises up Hexen II as he stomps all over Breath of the Wild, and Hereditary gets a glowing review - CURRENT! or at least it was then.

New episodes broadcast live on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sotdcast The guys have clearly been paid off by the creators of Doctor Dekker because we're still somehow talking about it, for the third time. Thankfully we quickly get back on topic with such horror classics as talking about Pokémon, Speedruns and E3. After thoroughly talking smack on the XBox One, we dip into the warm golden blankets of the past - fossils from the dawn of the YouTube era that you can still check out today, as well as several minutes of poor House Of The Dead 2 impersonations, and a fun breakdown of Resident Evil's voice acting to boot. This week's focus is of course Halloween - the original and perhaps some would say best? From the plucky pumpkin that opens the show to the arguably bullshit escape at the end, no stone is left unturned. After bowing in reverential awe at the dramatic monologues Dr. Loomis chooses solely to communicate in, we follow Mikey 'The Shape' Myers from one homicidal misunderstanding to the next, as he communicates with his hands around peoples' throats. Settle down by the campfire and let us regail you friend with how Busta Rhymes saved us all on this, the most spooky of nights.

New episodes broadcast live on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sotdcast The guys have improved Skyrim by becoming the best Blacksmith in all of Tamriel - and consider what makes good melee combat in both Elder Scrolls and games like Condemned. Jump scares in first person survival horror games also get discussed, including Matt's harrowing tales of Alien Isolation and Doom 3. Finally, we touch on Bioshock Infinite's infamous quiet scare - you know the one. We still get chilly thinking about it. This week's focus is of course Tobe Hooper's Lifeforce, a B Movie with an A budget - gloriously batshit. From the doomed space mission's discovery of a space artichoke filled with a set of really nice crystals, to the final sex battle of St. Paul's Cathedral... sorry... we just never thought we'd write a sentence that bizarre. Doctors with swords, who kill in the old way. Patrick Stewart's first on-screen kiss. Violent bloody vomiting scenes. TITTLES! This movie has got it all, and we can't help but revel in it all. Still, there's time to touch on Yakuza 6 and have a giggle with pronunciations. We'd try to explain Caine, but we're IN LOVE ON A LEVEL YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND.

New episodes broadcast live on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sotdcast The guys have divided by zero and gone through the looking glass, discussing all of the alternate universes that simply must exist. Aside from that there's the once newsworthy recap of #ChangeTheChannel, a sojourn through Fahrenheit and into Killer Instinct, who has a very topical character for this week. Tom has tales from the Murica Heartland where he's been liberating everyone, even if they didn't want it, GTA III's Chatterbox gets a thorough referencing, and Doki Doki Literature Club is explained very carefully to us by an erudite Chris. This week's focus is of course our cultural exchange between the US and Japanese versions of The Grudge - both are heavily infested with Grudges and you're gonna have to get a guy out to fix it. We discuss what we liked about both - to be honest, there isn't a lot we disliked - and this then leads onto creepy Asian Horror topics like Siren: Blood Curse, P.T. and Silent Hill Downpour. A worthwhile talk around music in horror and how it is misused leads into some closing talk of obscure PS2 titles Lifeline, Echo Night Beyond and Hungry Ghosts. What's that? You'll have to come closer, there's a Grudge in your throat.

New episodes broadcast live on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sotdcast Shensachunal! The guys have been enjoying r/shubreddit and wish to share it with you. This leads on to discussion of novelty reddits, which in turn leads on to discussion of Telltale's Walking Dead and whether it is misery porn - the upshot is Chris has gone Final Fantasy Crazy. So crazy in fact, that your #1 Horror Podcast has an eight minute section on other languages and tries to teach you German - vunderbar! If that isn't enough, there's also a section of said Horror Podcast dedicated to Paddington and Peter Rabbit, before getting into the finer details of marmite and why anyone who likes it is wrong. This week's focus is of course What Remains Of Edith Finch - a critical indie darling that we... really didn't care for. And we tried! Well, Chris didn't try, he got a refund - and its that kind of ingenuity that Matt and Tom wish they'd employed. There are some good ideas in here, but they're all either confused or wasted - we discuss some of our favourite bits, a lot of our unfavourite bits, and whether there really was a curse on the family. Entering the second hour of discussion becomes so taxing that the Duke Nukem and Schwarzenegger impressions come out in an effort to make the cast stop. Good luck.

New episodes broadcast live on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sotdcast We did it guys; insert-arbitrary-number-here of episodes! After brief discussion of the weather and disease, our intrepid hosts mine the same evergreen wells as previous casts: FFX! Dr. Dekker! There are also some recommendations of The Witness and A Ghost Story, before the cast takes a sideways flying kick into the world of anime - Death Note, Naruto and Paranoia Agent all get a healthy natter-about. Also, the King of Segues makes a triumphant return... by accident. This week's focus was of course Lucio Fulci's The Beyond - a dripping good time set in Swamptown, Louisiana. Following a rather inconvenient case of bricked-in-warlock-in-the-basement, the owner of a hotel that happens to be on a gateway to Hell gets some people in to renovate, who soon find their employment being... dissolved. Gruesome practical effects and the customary eye-gauging scene are deployed with aplomb here, so maybe don't sit in the front row. Plus, what an ending - nighmare fuel. Follow us, friend, on a boat trip to the bayou, and while you're at it, git outta mah state!

New episodes broadcast live on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sotdcast Malkovich. Malkovich. Oh, hello there! Good malkovich to you, and welcome to our humble little podcast. Chris has been mildly peeved by some bothersome butterflies in FFX, leading onto a discussion of hitting the 'Why am I still doing this?" wall in gaming. From there the guys mash their way through Demon's Souls, the Secret Of Mana remaster and Monster Hunter World - an epic safari/slaughter where you'll need armour and pants. But only pants fashioned from the finest flamesacks of (now) extinct beastiesauruses. Tom has some Netflix feedback that devolves into fawning over teary silverback Captain Adama - has he mentioned that he really likes Battlestar Galactica? This week's focus is of course Being John Malkovich - something a lot of the characters in this movie get the opportunity to do after John Cusack finds a portal on his bizarre office floor. After a brief overview of the plot, the guys cannot help but focus on that infamous scene and that damned sexy Malkovich on the piano. A brief Chris dream interlude gives way to a fairly (for us) smart conversation on representation in the movie - we sound intelligent, but we're also hard nuts and we will fight Flat Earthers IRL. It doesn't take a genius though, to know that you should never ever Malkovich a Malkovich - it doesn't end well.

New episodes broadcast live on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sotdcast Our brains hurt! Chris has come down with more Final Fantasy the poor guy, but he doesn't seem to mind - in fact he's been getting high off the Final Fantasy X Remaster, and tries to push it on Tom, who now knows more than two facts about the game. There's a review of Supermassive Games' Heavy Agenda and the Icarus-esque flight it manages towards greatness, a decent natter about Silent Hill 2's endings, voice acting in Resident Evil, Metal Gear Solid 1 and a fun digression into anti-piracy measures. This week's focus is of course John Dies At The End, a fun if deliberately obtuse film - the kind that is taking you on a very strange trip indeed. The irony is John bites it about halfway through, but comes back - unlike Matt's microphone, which stayed dead. Determined to salvage a very interesting conversation, we chat about Paul Giamatti's involvement, Barkley, Marconi and the twisted soy-sauce itself. We couldn't explain it to you if we tried; much like Arnie Blondestone, you have to see the thing for what it is. Just don't ever look in the corner, a creepy spider thing lives there. We don't talk about the corner. Closing things out, Tom and Chris air their grievances with modern-day supermarkets and their fascination with offloading their jobs onto us! TAKE BACK YER JOBS!

New episodes broadcast live on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sotdcast Having just woken up and seeking stimulation, the guys focus on creating all the steaming, cloudy FOG FOG John Carpenter's THE FOG puns possible to make sure none get mist. Bound to being on topic, Tom's been on the Yu-Gi-Oh, and Chris is reminiscing about Pokemon Tourneys past. Striving to get us back, Matt's rewatched Twin Peaks 3 and revisited Silent Hill Homecoming, which leads on to an interesting discussion of the series post-Team Silent. Chris then launches himself into the breach with tales of For Honor and being taught a valuable lesson about the options menu. Other topics broadly lanced over include Alone In The Dark, Chinese click farms and Boris Johnson, obviously. This week's focus though was the slow-burning piratey-ghost tale of The Fog. Following some seriously dark shit, from a man of the cloth no less, Antonio Bay is now the home of a curse with an oddly specific kill count. The master John Carpenter from beginning to end employs great technique to build tension, and for the most part succeeds - except for maybe the bloated middle. Still the guys can't help but lapse into reverential talk of Carpenter's Escape series (twice) on their way to the movie's rather unfair conclusion. I guess you might want to check out your family tree for heinous acts your ancestors might have committed - y'know, just in case.

New episodes broadcast live on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sotdcast On this week's episode, the guys are back fresh and very, very cold from a Winter holiday hiatus – now wrapped in cold reducing garments, having seen and played lots of interesting things, provide a slew of quick fire reviews and hot takes on horror titles. Chris brings a meaty discussion topic that provides an awesome debate on the finer points of effective horror films, touching on Dawn Of The Dead, Gerald's Game, The Walking Dead and The Mist. How could we not talk about Thomas Jane? Just make sure you know where the key to your gun cabinet is. This week's homework was of course Clive Barker's Undying – an unfortunately mediocre trip into the celtic occult of the Emerald Isle. Aside from the crass and insensitive cultural stereotypes regarding potatoes that we unreservedly apologise for, there's not much to say… this is possibly the most mediocre 5/10 experience we've ever had. There are some interesting ideas but they're lost in the bland, spralling dungeon that is stuffy old dude's family home – complete with cheaty enemy spawns and a protagonist memorable only for his arguably dodgy accent. Ah well, dig in with us.

New episodes broadcast live on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sotdcast On this week's episode, the guys lay into the nightmares of work-based mania, as well as the worryingly PREDATORY tactics employed by the corporate merged mega-publishers of 21st century mobile ‘games'. There's also healthy discussion on co-op based games, The Walking Dead 8A, representations of women in sci-fi with the highly anticipated 13th Doctor… and still time to engage in off-topic ramblings about audiobooks. The pièce de résistance is Tom's unfathomably genius ideas on how to solve the obesity crisis gripping the Western world. This week's homework was of course Predator – one alien's hunting weekend goes horribly wrong with hilarious and rather gooey consequences. With more sweaty muscles and evisceration than you can shake a well sharpened spear at, the guys sound off on their favourite bits, the silly jokes, the lore of the Predator, the undercurrent themes of machismo and prehistoric man's history as a hunter-gatherer – it's all here. Wrapped up in a neat wee Christmas bow, it's the end of Season 1. We could only quietly hope in the deep dark recesses of our creepy little hearts that we'd stick the first year and it's all because you, yes you, listen. So thanks for that. And sorry. We're so very sorry.

New episodes broadcast live on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sotdcast On this week's episode, the guys field a myriad of topics, from the horror of Black Friday to the sleepy silliness of Henry Townshend and Silent Hill 4. We come up with some cool creepy game mechanics because we are geniuses, and there's also time left over to dissect The Evil Within 2. Not to mention some chatter about the infamous Max Headroom TV Hijack which stylistically fits very well with the focus of this week's episode. This week's homework was of course Videodrome, the grisly psycho-sexual fever dream of David Cronenberg. Aside from a very uncomfortable opening half hour, the film begins to become a gloriously batshit journey into one man's fleshy, fleshy bad time. Cue bodies exploding, TV screens that reach out, and stomachginas – if it doesn't make sense to you, you haven't seen the movie, because this is fairly accurate recapping. One thing however is for certain – Debbie Harry sure is messed up. Long live the new flesh!

New episodes broadcast live on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sotdcast On this week's episode, the guys take Chris' awesome PS2 game-based nightmare and spitball some possible gameplay and design. Tom takes some time to mark out his nemesis, before, we might add, actually doing anything of note to challenge said nemesis – all talk and no trousers. We also incessantly natter about Stranger Things 2 now everyone has finished it – a real in-depth overview of the season as a whole, what we liked/disliked, and where we think it's going to go from here. This week's homework was of course Pit And The Pendulum with the delightfully creepy Vincent Price turning up the Poe. From beautiful matte paintings to dusty, cobwebbed halls, this is a wonderfully nostalgic tread to the classic horror of yesteryear – complete with an advertisement against trying to drive your spouse mad and being a batshit adulterer. Yes there are monsters and ghosts in the halls of the Spanish castle but, as we cross the spoiler threshold into the beautiful twist ending, there is a kind of glorious catharsis to revel in.

Aside from Super Mario Odyssey, the guys talk The Ritual, The Evil Within 2, zombies and believability, good bacteria that will eat you when you die… also classic horror game notes/files, and how great Silent Hill 2 was/is/will ALWAYS be. It's your average off-topic pre-amble. This week's homework was of course Braindead aka Dead Alive, from hit director Peter Jackson. Hells bells, and buckets of blood – in fact, gallons of the stuff. Also some custard that we guarantee you won't want to finish. The guys go step by aching step through the plot of what is ultimately a love-it or hate-it film, that is 100% committed to every practical effect they can throw on the screen. Then we start talking about The Bye Bye Man again, because we just can't get enough of such an excellent and well written character.

New episodes broadcast live on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sotdcast On this week's episode, the guys are excited about spending WAY TOO MUCH MOOLAH on the Resident Evil 2 Board Game Kickstarter! This leads on to an in-depth discussion on the crowd funding platform and other notable projects such as Mighty #9, Yooka Laylee and Bloodstained. There's some #FucKonami in there and talk of Lootboxes: The Scourge Of 2017. Bladerunner 2049 gets a ringing commendation for it's dedication to advancing its story universe authentically, and Khal Drogo said some bad things, naughty Drogo – it's not like the Justice League needs a reason to bomb… This week's homework was of course Zombie Flesh Eaters SLASH Zombie SLASH Zombi 2: The Biters Are Back – a solid B movie with great ideas and themes, if a little of a clashing tone. Nothing quite says confused feelings like a three way battle between a naked lady, a shark and a zombie. The guys do a walk through the surprisingly entertaining plot, including one lady's dalliance with her bedroom door and Peter West (cousin of Frank West)'s barbaric decision to hang onto live zombies for the purposes of evidence. There's even a bit at the end where we come up with an awesome plot for a zombie film – go fund the Kickstarter at www.wewillneverbeabletoaffordit.com/really/REALLY.

New episodes broadcast live on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sotdcast On this week's episode, the guys take YouTube to task, discussing Let's Plays, YouTubers, Patreon and algorithms. If this was a podcast about that stuff, it would be really interesting and on-topic! Now that the Podcast is old enough to drink, we finally have a normal discussion that makes us sound reasonably adult – totally unexpected. We also talk about Stephen King's IT (2017) which was bloody good – all hail to the King, the renaissance is here! Matt and Chris also spend a lot of time talking about Awesome (Arnold) Schwarzenegger and Conan The Barbarian. This week's homework was of course Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice – the new game from Ninja Theory based around mental illness and collecting a whole lotta runes. Just be prepared for a whole lot of darkness. Darkness? Darkness. DARKNESS. The guys like the treatment of the mental illnesses, but feel perhaps the gameplay is not amazing. We also have a great discussion about the beautiful art style. Remember, if you liked this episode, don't forget to facepalm that like and stare lovingly and intently at that subscribe button!

New episodes broadcast live on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sotdcast Oh boy, this episode is a glorious train-wreck. Things begin quite normal with discussion of Dragoncon – the Con of Cons, Xenosaga and other great JRPGs that we will never play, a plethora of TV shows including The Mist, things that Stephen King has definitely thought and said, as well as Chris' apology for his previous thoughts on Ghost In The Shell. Matt also covers the film ‘Life' and how its not too shabby. This week's homework was of course Thirteen Ghosts – an early 2000s music video that has no idea what it is doing. But at least we have Shaggy and TV's Monk to guide us through some great production design as we struggle to fathom why the barely existent plot does what it does. This also leads on to, what is probably a new low for the cast as we discuss ‘the rules' when it comes to dying holding a signature weapon or item. Clues in the episode title folks. Tom also muses, in a feeble attempt of not causing offence, about people hired for their physical attributes. Regardless, the most important thing is that Monk NEEDS TO FIND HIS FAMILY. HE CARES ABOUT HIS FAMILY.

New episodes broadcast live on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sotdcast On this week's episode, Chris has a bone to pick with a few things about his job and if you believe in spelling things properly well… we have a horror story for you. Other off-topic nonsense includes a discussion on Blu-rays and their poor victim the HDVDVVDVDD, subreddits that r/mildlyirritating, and the suckier side of Stephen King adaptations, such as The Langoliers and SpikeTV's recent The Mist. There's also time to discuss bizarre and perverted animes, like what the cool kids crank it to! This week's homework was of course Frank Darabont's The Mist, an example of how to adapt Stephen King successfully. The guys can't help but gush about the movie and it's expert grasp on the disintegration of society and heightening tension. Also an insightful and very intelligent discussion on the poignancy of the ending soon runs askew as Tom wonders about the logistics of shooting five people with four bullets. Then it all goes a bit more downhill from there, if you can imagine it. But then, you'd kill yourself if you MIST this one!

New episodes broadcast live on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sotdcast Click 'Show More' for timecodes. On this week's episode, the guys discuss all manner of topics – Friday The 13th: The Videogame, good ol' Steve King's The Dark Tower, Resident Evil Vendetta, as well as a lengthy rant on the logistics in Season 7 of Game of Thrones. It's your regular mixed bag of off-topic natter. Oh and we would be remiss if we didn't also mention speedrunning, so that's in there too. This week's homework was of course Little Nightmares, the superbly designed if somewhat lacking plot-wise Indie game wot we played. The guys go into what they liked (a lot), what they didn't like (a little bit), and their frustration with the casual ambiguity the game plays with – it wants to be open, yet also wants to be understood? We're too sick for this. Well, one of us is. There ain't enough Lemsip in the world that can save Tom's disintegrating mood.

New episodes broadcast live on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sotdcast On this week's episode, the guys have an awesome talk about Matt's recent LARPing, including the rules of engagement and how exactly magic works. There's also the now expected mentioning of the weather (we try not to play into Brit stereotypes but it seems this one is unavoidable), brief mention of Attack On Titan, brief descriptions of SpikeTV's The Mist and FX's The Strain and a brief section on LasagnaCat, AGAIN. These brief sections of course totalling 54 glorious off-topic minutes. This week's homework was of course Jacob's Ladder, an arguable modern classic that helped shape a wealth of games and films after it including a series that rhymes with Violent Mill. The guys, who have all seen it before but enjoyed this recent rewatch, all chime in with their experiences both old and new. They also talk about the iconography and themes borrowed from the movie since it was released, it's origin and screenwriter's two years in a monastery, and of course, the beautiful country of Tibet; which we NOW know speaks Tibetan. Just pretend our ignorance is the last futile dream of a dying STOP OH YES WAIT A MINUTE MISTER POSTMAN… Axton: https://www.twitch.tv/axton10_61 Matticus Finch: https://www.twitch.tv/immatticusfinch Garlips: https://www.twitch.tv/garlips Recorded: 2017/07/30, Remastered: 2022/06/07 Links for stuff we discussed in the podcast: Night Mind's LasagnaCat vid - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DZfYAGdzPI&t=3s

New episodes broadcast live on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sotdcast On this week's episode, the guys take off-topic rambling to whole new levels. Gardening! Air-conditioning! The Monarchy! Speedrunning! Everything-but-horror-based-chat? You betcha. But it's all fun, inane nonsense the likes of which, our loving audience, have come to love. Right guys? Guys…? This week's homework was of course Galaxy Of Terror, and this 2+ hour behemoth of an episode wouldn't be complete without an in-depth analysis of weird horror movies no one has seen. Galaxy has a very interesting premise, and we all agree a lot of the elements in here could have made a good movie. Unfortunately, we have… this. One thing's for sure, Cabren is now the Master. Whatever that means.

New episodes broadcast live on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sotdcast On this week's episode, the guys don't mention the weather once. We can only apologise for this drastic oversight, and hope that regardless, you'll persevere onward with the cast. Chat revolves around The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker and FMV games of yesteryear, as well as the new Call Of Cthulhu title shown at E3 this year, Bloodborne, Alan Wake and Poets Of The Fall, who did those great songs for Remedy games. This week's homework was of course Tucker & Dale Versus Evil, a hillbillyin' good time. We talk about how wonderfully fresh the movie is, despite having been around for a while now – how it superbly turns your expectations on their head for comedic effect, and we all do som' guud suthurrrrn accents for good measure. A feel-good fun time on the SotD!Cast? Filthy lies from goddamned college kids!

New episodes broadcast live on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sotdcast On this week's episode, the guys have not had an awful lot of horror in their lives recently, so talk instead turns first to Chris' continued quest into all things strategy. A dark prophecy is unveiled regarding a bleak future where throwing rocks at the wall will be the only single-player campaign. We also discuss the weather (as is tradition) as well as fuck-off big fridges (henceforth known as Tombs of Meat) and Calippos (if you can hear this Unilever, we are prepared to talk sponsorship). Tom then briefly explains the plot for Fear The Walking Dead up to the new Season 3 and why killing his favourite character was simultaneously a very clever and very stupid move. This leads on to discussion of the character development trope and how, when you get an episode fleshing out a side character, it's kind of like fattening up the pig for slaughter. Remember kids, stay away from development, stay alive. We also come up with a pitch for the Twister movie (board game, not natural phenomena) and a dozen tag lines – Hollywood needs to call us. We will turn your dollar into an hundred pounds. This week's homework was of course, James Wan's Insidious – a film of two halves that certainly becomes a lot more interesting in the second. Scary Darth Maul tiptoeing through the tulips makes for an interesting yet ultimately underused villain, which is confusing. But the either of ‘The Further' and the souls destined to forever replay their tragic demises gets a big thumbs up. The real question we're left asking though is, if Patrick Wilson is now possessed by the Woman in Black, how can he possibly go on to become Chris Pratt's father? All this and more on Big Empty Haunted Houses With Good Cinematography!

New episodes broadcast live on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sotdcast Heads up – Tom messed up this week by recording on his in-built laptop mic rather than his swanky USB podcaster mic. As such, he was in two minds whether to release the first half of the podcast - but there was so much gold in there! So he made use of an hundred effects in Audacity and managed to get it mostly audible. If however you can't stand it, skipping to about 30 minutes in will get you to the part where Tom rectified his mistake. On this week's episode, the guys chat a whole host of off-topic crap – shootin' guns, freedom and PIZZA; Blizzard, Assassin's Creed and missing faces; Willem Dafoe, Pierce Brosnan and singing ABBA… everything that isn't horror basically. This week's homework was of course, Ridley Scott's almighty Alien. Chris's popped cherry versus Tom's familiarity and Matt's directorial cut style advanced knowledge come together to give three different viewpoints on the film itself. We talk about the believability of the characters and their realistic dialogue and reactions to the horrific events of the original movie. We talk about the xenomorph and how it's mystery adds immense tension to proceedings – something Covenant could stand to remember. Most importantly, we discuss the main character Jones, and the amount of his faeces that should be e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e on the Nostromo. Even before the self destruct was activated.

New episodes broadcast live on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sotdcast On this week's episode, the guys still find a way to cram a little off-topic tomfoolery into the opening minutes – bringing up the infamous fanfiction Doom: Repercussions Of Evil which somehow surfaced its beautiful head during the break between this cast and the last. This week's homework was of course, Dead Rising 1. We go on an odyssey through the game, recently reliving it for the purposes of this review. Discussing everything from Frank himself and the game's interesting story, all the way through to controls and whether they are more ‘git gud' than ‘get angry'. You'll also hear some thoughts on Dead Rising 4 as the guys find it hard not to compare that recent shite with the game that started it all. You came for the Dead Rising chatter and finally, finally it is here – slip into the nearest dress or item of child's clothing, and get stuck in. We haven't covered wars, but something tells us our experience with herding survivors is pretty damn close.

New episodes broadcast live on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sotdcast On this week's episode, the guys have been gone a month on a mini-hiatus, which results in the off-topic train calling at a dozen stations on their intrepid way to Dead Rising. Namely, Silent Hill 1, Resident Evils 5, 6 and 7, Thundercats, Heroes, The House Abandon… the list goes on. It had been a while since we'd recorded the last cast, and it means a lot of catching up. This week's homework was of course, Dead Rising 1. However unfortunately, because there was so much to cover beforehand, we actually get cut off before getting there. The main focus instead is Tom and Matt's critical analysis of the recent Alien: Covenant – a pretty yet vapid entry into the fabled series that works very, very hard to undermine everything that made the original Alien great. Someone get Ridley Scott's scotch off of him, and someone murder the screenwriter when they go unaccompanied to the bathroom! Just leave the fingering to Fassbender.

New episodes broadcast live on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sotdcast On this week's episode, the guys chat a little about last week's Return Of The Living Dead and its excellent Making Of that can be found on YouTube, as well as other completely off-topic nonsense like William Shatner, more Stephen King adaptations, Harry Mason's Crazy Day, Banjo-Kazooie and infuriating invisible cameramen in titles we've played recently. Breath Of The Wild gets further dissection too, until Chris, the all powerful King Of Segueways (probably Segue's?) gets us back on the three sided track. This week's homework was of course, the clever yet flawed Triangle. More 12-piece jigsaw than enigma machine, we wade through the heavy-handed influences to find a lot of good points and some fairly consistent logic – but frustratingly, this makes the inconsistencies that do exist all the more apparent. We also discuss some grounded theories as to what is going on, what we nicked off of YouTube and regurgitated here for you, kind of like a seagull would. GUYS DID WE MENTION THE BOAT IS CALLED THE TRIANGLE? The movie blows our minds so hard we end up inventing the very real horror that is Ryan Reynolds, The Scary Pirate Dog – he's on all fours, and he's gonna get yer... May God have mercy on our souls.

New episodes broadcast live on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sotdcast On this week's episode, Matt and Tom teach Chris in the ways of English slang – where pants are not just undergarments but a polite equivalent of ‘meh', and chavs are the new rednecks. What has this got to do with horror? Your guess is as good as ours. We also chat about Chris' new capture card which will be super exciting, and Tom is still obsessed with LasagnaCat, bringing the guys' attention to what might be a perfect example of performance art on YouTube. Or it could just be pretentious as fuck, but either way, you can guarantee we will make a mountain out of an internet molehill. Of course, our main topic of discussion is the unbridled joy that is Return of the Living Dead – a movie that from the get-go painted a big cheesy grin on Tom's face. Gore, swears, full-frontal nudity – it's got it all! Being Matt's choice, he provides some great behind-the-scenes information that helps shed light on the lightning-in-a-bottle movie that unfortunately was not present in subsequent sequels.

New episodes broadcast live on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sotdcast On this week's episode the gang begin by saluting the WWE's Undertaker after the horror that was Matt's staying up for Wrestlemania until 5am. We also touch on the rights and wrongs of The Walking Dead's Season 7 finale, new films Life and Ghost In The Shell – a rather serviceable adaptation in itself but perhaps too similar to the original? Meanwhile Tom has become hooked after his first dabble with the modern day phenomena of Escape Rooms – although it may have potentially brought RE7 one step closer to being horrifyingly real. Remember kids, don't eat bugs or have a womb made of bugs – it just ain't gonna end well. We're here though to uncover the truth as we investigate the zombie outbreak that is Dead Rising Watchtower. Although we differ in opinion on how good a movie it is, there is some talk on what makes a great adaptation and whether films like Watchtower succeed with a 'filling-in' approach, helping to bridge gaps between games. Afterwards we set sail for the off-topic archipelago, covering everything from Nu-Metal and dogs covered in pasta sauce, to new games Thimbleweed Park and Blackwood Crossing, as we get the show format back-to-front – whoops.

New episodes broadcast live on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sotdcast On this week's episode the gang are inadvertently drawn into discussions about the Nintendo Switch and recent news regarding the system. At least one thing can be said for the thing – it saved Matt from the 1st world horror that is a prolonged power cut. We also discuss the new IT movie, as well as other forays to the cinema. The main event though, is the tension-filled The Babadook – gripping from start to finish with some very interesting layers – yes, kind of like an onion. We take a look at the underlying themes and end up providing a very rounded conclusion on what the Babadook really is. It may or may not have happened the way we saw it, but as an allegory, The Babadook is captivating. Just, try not to use it as an instructional video for how to be a parent, okay?

New episodes broadcast live on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sotdcast On this week's episode, the sun has been shining in good old Blighty, which naturally means it is a worthy topic of conversation. The guys have had interesting weeks, involving gleaning some more juice out of the rapidly drying prune that is Resident Evil 7, talk on the Dark Souls / Bloodborne games, before touching on the cinematic universe of James Wan and The Warrens. It's a mixed bag that includes possibly our most obscure reference joke yet, guaranteed to fly over the heads of everyone listening. The main thrust if you will, of today's very sexual episode is a heavy breathing discussion of the small indie flick done good, It Follows. We discuss the nature of the film's titular evil, touching on how “the rules” are handled and the potential implications raised by what we know and a lot of what we don't. Afterwards there's a brief ramble on ways the characters can deal with their predicament going forwards in life, as well as a lamentation on the kinds of cheesy horror that thankfully, It Follows did not succumb to.

New episodes broadcast live on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sotdcast On this week's episode the guys go on a journey of horror music discovery – first covering the debut album of English band Creeper, before unveiling the existence of Thumper, a promisingly atmospheric game that may in fact mark the first scary rhythm action game. There's also a lot of YouTuber gripes being aired and Chris puts the gameplay streaming world to rights. Obviously though, the meat and potatoes of this week's episode is our journey to the evil f***ing room that is 1408, The Dolphin Hotel, Manhattan. We discuss what creepy and bizarre flourishes made John Cusack's visit so fun to watch, and the nature of what 1408 is, and what it can exact on its victims. The homework for next week is decided via coin toss as the podcast races to a finish for some supremely cheesy reasons. All hail the Steve King, baby!

This leads to a number of recommendations that you should all very much check out if you're into creepy tales. Also, Matt is a LARPer and has some great battle stories involving far too much cardio, while Chris peaces out at the first lever in Twilight Princess's Water Temple. There's also some more talk on Resident Evil 7 and it's DLC – too gamey? Perhaps. The main point of discussion is of course, the puzzling yet incredibly satisfying Pontypool. After all gushing over Stephen McHattie's amazing turn as Grant Mazzy, we take a closer look at the events of the movie and what exactly could have been the starting point for the bizarre chaos that grips the small Canadian town.

It's almost as if we'd forgotten the episode was about Limbo! But as every child will attest – homework must eventually be tackled. What follows is a no-holds barred romp through everything Limbo; our reactions to the game (both initial and with the recent revisits we've made), what we thought might have happened, and then what the internet thinks might have happened.

New episodes broadcast live on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sotdcast On this week's episode the guys discuss some old internet shite that's been away but now is coming back, completely demented kids' educational VHSes and of course, the main event – the post mortem on Resident Evil 7, now we've all had time to blast through it a few times. I guarantee this is the only podcast on Earth where you'll hear the final boss of RE7 likened to a wall of flesh monster in an obscure educational video series from the late eighties – and that, ladies and gents, is something to be celebrated.

New episodes broadcast live on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sotdcast Welcome to the pilot for our new podcast, Spoilers of the Damned! We're here to talk all things horror - predominantly video games but also movies and TV. Alongside your three hosts Matt, Chris and Tom, you'll get knee deep into the guts of all things dark. On this week's episode the guys introduce themselves only to get hung up on the finer points of the Monster Munch canon, before sidling head first into discussing the much awaited launch of Resident Evil 7. There's also some bits in there about what got them into horror, before rounding off with the incredible professionalism that is working out what the next episode will be about - within the confines of the current episode. Stick with us, we promise it can get better than this. And technically, its episode zero so, it doesn't count! What Podcast?

How about that? Looks like ghosts have pretty good taste, AND YOU CAN TOO! This time we're discussing White Noise, the movie that somehow inexplicably fills two hours with shots of tape players playing tapes of static; admittedly generic but with some interesting ideas and touches that promise more than it can deliver. We also have time to discuss the trash last season of Doctor Who, British TV gaffes, strange streaming layouts and of course, our From Software sponsored SoulsTalk TM. Get this ghostly goodness in yer ears; there's no beatin' the Keaton!

Resident Evil Village was a truly great game that took everything we liked about RE7 and built on it - we discuss in depth the characters, plot, themes, enemies... no stone is left unturned and definitely no combinable treasure left behind in the Castle DAMN YOU CAPCOM! I mean er... Lady D is a big lady eh? Please join us for a bumper length romp through Romania that still also found time to fit in discussion of Garlips & Ax's Speedrun drama, as well as a thoughtful discussion on Backseaters (turns out they can fuck off!).

Broadcast live on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/spoilersofthedamned Are you looking for Hot Single Ghosts in your area? All you need to do is surf your dial-up modem back to the early 2000's with us, as we journey into the hopelessness of Pulse (a.k.a. Kairo), a J-Horror film that delivers dread and leaves a mark... mainly on the walls and/or carpet. Yikes, that's gonna take some Mr. Muscle to clean up. Alongside a thorough exploration of the movie's themes and plot, we have time to rant about The Evil Within, Bloodborne and Forbidden Siren 2 - plus this season's speedrunning arc takes a dramatic twist when Axton 10_61 lays the smackdown at Speedrun Summerslam 2021! It's a ghosty good time, get into the ring!

Go directly to a new kind of jail this week with us - there's plenty of room in the Turkish police van for everybody as we cover the delightful horror surprise of Baskin. We discuss characters, themes, the potential cycle and ramifications thereof - basically we're required viewing after the main event to help you break down and comprehend what happened. Frogs? Sorted. Baba? We know his deal. Mystery meat? We make an educated guess! So come with us on this very special night where not only worlds meet, but so do eyeballs and... 'implements'. There's also discussions around Red Candle Games' output thus far, speedrunning, beginner's traps and rare Survival Horror games - oh and our now legally required podcast tradition of Souls Game talk. YES! Come bask in the past with us! Axton: https://www.twitch.tv/axton10_61 Lost: https://www.twitch.tv/lostinthewarppipe Garlips: https://www.twitch.tv/garlips

Deep underground in a containment facility, our Podcast has broken loose and intends to feed. We're back and while our older episodes get the dust-off and boot shine, we're pressing ahead with Cabin In The Woods, a delightfully wry pastiche of Slasher films that also simultaneously doubles as a love letter to the horror genre as a whole! Aside from that we also delve into fighting games and their extraordinary long names, looter shooters, FF7 Remake and AMC's new/old anthology series The Terror - which you won't need remote control buttons to find, just scream into the dark Alexa's name...

It's been eighty four years.... but we're finally back. Season Three, right here and now in 2020, begins with recordings made in 2018! Can you taste the freshness? Enjoy this stroll down memory lane as we revisit the iconic Bioshock and the world of Rapture. Along the way we discuss the failings of open-world games, Chris raises up Hexen II as he stomps all over Breath of the Wild, and Hereditary gets a glowing review - CURRENT! or at least it was then.

The guys have clearly been paid off by the creators of Doctor Dekker because we're still somehow talking about it, for the third time. Thankfully we quickly get back on topic with such horror classics as talking about Pokémon, Speedruns and E3. After thoroughly talking smack on the XBox One, we dip into the warm golden blankets of the past - fossils from the dawn of the YouTube era that you can still check out today, as well as several minutes of poor House Of The Dead 2 impersonations, and a fun breakdown of Resident Evil's voice acting to boot. This week's focus is of course Halloween - the original and perhaps some would say best? From the plucky pumpkin that opens the show to the arguably bullshit escape at the end, no stone is left unturned. After bowing in reverential awe at the dramatic monologues Dr. Loomis chooses solely to communicate in, we follow Mikey 'The Shape' Myers from one homicidal misunderstanding to the next, as he communicates with his hands around peoples' throats. Settle down by the campfire and let us regail you friend with how Busta Rhymes saved us all on this, the most spoopy of nights.

The guys have improved Skyrim by becoming the best Blacksmith in all of Tamriel - and consider what makes good melee combat in both Elder Scrolls and games like Condemned. Jump scares in first person survival horror games also get discussed, including Matt's harrowing tales of Alien Isolation and Doom 3. Finally, we touch on Bioshock Infinite's infamous quiet scare - you know the one. We still get chilly thinking about it. This week's focus is of course Tobe Hooper's Lifeforce, a B Movie with an A budget - gloriously batshit. From the doomed space mission's discovery of a space artichoke filled with a set of really nice crystals, to the final sex battle of St. Paul's Cathedral... sorry... we just never thought we'd write a sentence that bizarre. Doctors with swords, who kill in the old way. Patrick Stewart's first on-screen kiss. Violent bloody vomiting scenes. TITTLES! This movie has got it all, and we can't help but revel in it all. Still, there's time to touch on Yakuza 6 and have a giggle with pronunciations. We'd try to explain Caine, but we're IN LOVE ON A LEVEL YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND.

The guys have divided by zero and gone through the looking glass, discussing all of the alternate universes that simply must exist. Aside from that there's the once newsworthy recap of #ChangeTheChannel, a sojourn through Fahrenheit and into Killer Instinct, who has a very topical character for this week. Tom has tales from the Murica Heartland where he's been liberating everyone, even if they didn't want it, GTA III's Chatterbox gets a thorough referencing, and Doki Doki Literature Club is explained very carefully to us by an erudite Chris. This week's focus is of course our cultural exchange between the US and Japanese versions of The Grudge - both are heavily infested with Grudges and you're gonna have to get a guy out to fix it. We discuss what we liked about both - to be honest, there isn't a lot we disliked - and this then leads onto creepy Asian Horror topics like Siren: Blood Curse, P.T. and Silent Hill Downpour. A worthwhile talk around music in horror and how it is misused leads into some closing talk of obscure PS2 titles Lifeline, Echo Night Beyond and Hungry Ghosts. What's that? You'll have to come closer, there's a Grudge in your throat.

Shensachunal! The guys have been enjoying r/shubreddit and wish to share it with you. This leads on to discussion of novelty reddits, which in turn leads on to discussion of Telltale's Walking Dead and whether it is misery porn - the upshot is Chris has gone Final Fantasy Crazy. So crazy in fact, that your #1 Horror Podcast has an eight minute section on other languages and tries to teach you German - vunderbar! If that isn't enough, there's also a section of said Horror Podcast dedicated to Paddington and Peter Rabbit, before getting into the finer details of marmite and why anyone who likes it is wrong. This week's focus is of course What Remains Of Edith Finch - a critical indie darling that we... really didn't care for. And we tried! Well, Chris didn't try, he got a refund - and its that kind of ingenuity that Matt and Tom wish they'd employed. There are some good ideas in here, but they're all either confused or wasted - we discuss some of our favourite bits, a lot of our unfavourite bits, and whether there really was a curse on the family. Entering the second hour of discussion becomes so taxing that the Duke Nukem and Schwarzenegger impressions come out in an effort to make the cast stop. Good luck.

We did it guys; insert-arbitrary-number-here of episodes! After brief discussion of the weather and disease, our intrepid hosts mine the same evergreen wells as previous casts: FFX! Dr. Dekker! There are also some recommendations of The Witness and A Ghost Story, before the cast takes a sideways flying kick into the world of anime - Death Note, Naruto and Paranoia Agent all get a healthy natter-about. Also, the King of Segues makes a triumphant return... by accident. This week's focus was of course Lucio Fulci's The Beyond - a dripping good time set in Swamptown, Louisiana. Following a rather inconvenient case of bricked-in-warlock-in-the-basement, the owner of a hotel that happens to be on a gateway to Hell gets some people in to renovate, who soon find their employment being... dissolved. Gruesome practical effects and the customary eye-gauging scene are deployed with aplomb here, so maybe don't sit in the front row. Plus, what an ending - nighmare fuel. Follow us, friend, on a boat trip to the bayou, and while you're at it, git outta mah state!
