Join us as we reflect on Tim Curry's timeless contributions to film. Hey there, This week, we're paying tribute to the legendary Tim Curry, a remarkable talent whose presence has left an indelible mark on the world of film and television. Join Bill and Chris as they reminisce about Curry's iconic roles and the impact he had on the cult movie scene. Tim Curry: A Horror Icon Tim Curry's versatility is often overshadowed by his iconic horror roles. Chris shares, "If I was gonna have dinner with the horror greats, it would be Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, and Tim Curry. He's up there with the greats." Curry's remarkable range extended beyond horror, with a notable career in voice acting as well, surprising Bill when he dove into his IMDB. A Look Back at Curry's Roles In this episode, the duo discusses two of Curry's lesser-known films: Legend and Congo. Bill acknowledges, "Legend is one of the better-known character pieces he did, but it seems to be forgotten by the general public." They delve into Curry's compelling performances that deserve more recognition in the cult film community. Remembering the Greats With a heavy heart, Bill reflects on the recent losses in the entertainment world, saying, "It was a rough week for us. We lost Dolly, we lost Tim Curry. Not taking the wrong eighty-year-olds from us." This somber note sets the tone for a deep dive into the legacies left behind by these icons. A Nod to Independent Media Before wrapping up, Bill reminds listeners about their support for independent media, stressing the importance of keeping conversations alive through platforms like their Patreon. He encourages fans to get involved, as every contribution helps sustain the show. As we celebrate Tim Curry's career and contributions, let's keep the spirit of cult films alive.

This episode covers a mixed week of cinema and streaming, with the hosts weighing a post apocalyptic film, a psychological horror series, a female led comedy, and a documentary about Hammer Films. The conversation is playful, but the reviews are clear, with the strongest praise going to the streaming pick and the Hammer documentary.Key topicsIn this episode, Tosin hosts from Bromsgrove with Shaun Harris, Sharon Bollen, and London correspondent Holly Nessling joining in.The group opens with what they have been watching in cinemas and at home, including The Dog Stars, The Terror, Spa Weekend, and Hammer Legends, Heroes and Monsters.Sharon explains The Dog Stars as a post pandemic survival story set in the Colorado mountains, following Higg, played by Jacob Elordi, his life on an aerodrome, and encounters with isolated communities and hostile raiders.Shaun and Sharon both feel The Dog Stars is well made but familiar, leaning on post apocalyptic tropes from The Walking Dead, 28 Days Later, and similar stories.Holly's home viewing focus is The Terror, starting with season 3, Devil in Silver, then working backward through seasons 2 and 1.Devil in Silver is described as a psychological horror story about being wrongly trapped in a psychiatric institution, with Dan Stevens praised for being compelling and convincing as an American lead.Season 2 of The Terror is set during Japanese internment in the United States in World War II, where the supernatural horror is overshadowed by the real world brutality of the camps.Shaun reviews Spa Weekend as an exactly as advertised ensemble comedy built around four women on a spa trip, with each playing a familiar archetype and the film clearly aiming at a middle aged female audience.Shaun's streaming pick, Hammer Legends, Heroes and Monsters, is praised as a nostalgic documentary tracing Hammer Films from Quatermass through Dracula, Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, and the studio's shift through changing British cinema trends.The episode closes with a broader discussion about film distribution, sparked by a correction on Coyote vs. Acme and the role of Ketchup Entertainment in buying and releasing it.The Dog Stars - 3.25 averageThe Terror season 3, Devil in Silver - 4Spa Weekend - 3Hammer Legends, Heroes and Monsters - 4Timestamps(00:00) Opening the week and introducing the panel(01:49) Cinema round up begins with The Dog Stars(06:25) Holly's home watch list and The Terror season 3(07:23) Shaun's week of Hammer Legends and assorted trashy films(09:37) Sharon explains the post apocalyptic world of The Dog Stars(13:16) Why The Dog Stars feels familiar despite strong craft(17:46) Sharon's final take on The Dog Stars(20:56) Holly breaks down The Terror season 3, Devil in Silver(25:31) Season 2 of The Terror and the horror of Japanese internment(30:09) Spa Weekend and the “female Hangover” template(35:39) Ad libbing, editing, and the film's target audience(40:11) Hammer Legends, Heroes and Monsters and Hammer's history(43:23) Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, and Hammer's serious approach(47:15) Final verdict on Hammer Legends and the Hammer House of Horror reference(48:31) Which won the week, cinema or streaming?(48:37) Update on Coyote vs. Acme and its release situation(51:17) Wrap up and sign offNotable quotesCopy“It's a film set in contemporary Britain, but a temporary America, but after a devastating global pandemic.”Copy“The stuff of nightmares anyway, that scenario without any supernatural or any sort of other elements to it.”Copy“The film is there to give them a break in the cinema where they can go away and go, Yeah, yeah, that's my life.”VerdictsWinner of the weekStreaming wins this week, driven by the strength of The Terror season 3 and Hammer Legends, Heroes and Monsters.

Jeremiah's here to talk about this star-studded dud!  Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee and nothing else!

PROJECT AUDION LIVE SUMMER SPECIAL Part 1: Lost Doctor Who radio pilot from 1966 In 1966, as the BBC science fiction television show Doctor Who was captivating British audiences, an attempt was made to create a radio version which would star Peter Cushing from the movies. A pilot episode was written and recorded, but the project went no further. The original recording has been lost, but the pilot script survived. In July 2026, Project Audion produced this live recreation from the script for an audience at the Grapevine Public Library, featuring: Sheela Bailey - A.J. Glendenning - Sean Massey - Reg Platt - Susan Platt - Ken Raney - William D. Tate - Kim Titus - Greg Vestel Produced and directed by Larry Groebe

It's time to head back to Karlsbruck! Or is it Karlstadt? Who knows? In this episode, “The Invisible Dan” and “Monster Mike” discuss the return of Peter Cushing as the abominable Victor Frankenstein, Hammer's distribution deal with Universal Pictures and the subsequent ret-con of their Frankenstein continuity, the additional footage and storyline shot specifically for American television, and why The Evil of Frankenstein still manages to be fun despite its shortcomings.

Tom Baker Wearing a Sherlock Holmes Mask When Tom Baker signed on to play Sherlock Holmes in the BBC's 1982 adaptation of The Hound of the Baskervilles, the hosts expected brilliance—an alien intelligence wrapped in the detective's coat, bringing the mysterious, otherworldly quality Baker had mastered as the Doctor. Instead, what emerged was a performance so restrained it felt like he was reading lines from a script rather than inhabiting the character. One host summed it up perfectly: Baker looks like he's wearing a paper mask of Sherlock Holmes that literally says "Sherlock Holmes" on the forehead—recognizable as the character, but somehow still fundamentally Baker doing an impression of what he thinks Holmes should be, rather than becoming Holmes. A Watson Story with the Wrong Focus The story itself—one of Conan Doyle's four Holmes novels—is genuinely more Watson's tale than Holmes's. Holmes disappears for large stretches while Watson investigates the mystery on the moor, interacting with the household at Baskerville Hall, and gathering clues. This is Watson's chance to prove himself, to apply Holmes's methods, to earn praise from his mentor. The hosts recognized this structure and appreciated how the adaptation leaned into it. Terrence Rigby's Watson is good—more aligned with Doyle's original vision than Nigel Bruce's bumbling caricature. The problem: Baker's Holmes is so uncomfortable, so clearly second-guessing himself, that he undercuts every scene he's in. A Production Full of Doctor Who Faces Behind and in front of the camera, this was a Doctor Who reunion. Barry Letts produced it. Terrence Dicks served as story editor. Alexander Baron adapted the script. The cast included Hubert Reeves (chief engineer in Fury from the Deep, Captain Ransom in The War Games, John Stevenson in The Seeds of Doom), William Squire (the Shadow in The Armageddon Factor), and Morris Perry (leader of the IMF troop in The Colony in Space). The production itself was solid—good sets, striking location work on the moors, money was spent. The problem was always the central performance. What Everyone Thought, Then and Now At the time, the series ran in the afternoon rather than evening—a sign the BBC lacked confidence even as it aired. The BBC later apologized for Baker's performance. He himself has been critical, appearing on the DVD commentary in Australia to discuss his own unhappiness with the role. The Independent called him "oddly flat" compared to Basil Rathbone, Peter Cushing, and Jeremy Brett. A book titled A Study in Error: The Ten Worst Sherlock Holmes apparently includes this adaptation. Yet both hosts argue this reputation is undeserved—the production is competent, the adaptation faithful, and only Baker's restraint truly hampers it. The Dog That Didn't Want to Attack One charming behind-the-scenes detail: the dog playing the hound became very fond of the actor playing the murdered Baskerville and refused to attack him on cue. Instead of jumping and snarling, the dog wanted pets and hugs. They had to work around the animal's affection to create the necessary threatening scenes. A Series That Never Happened The plan was for this to be the beginning of a series of Tom Baker Sherlock Holmes adaptations. The poor reception killed that idea. The BBC made another Holmes adaptation the next year with a different actor, effectively trying to wash the taste of this one away. Production Details: Air Date: October 3–24, 1982 Network: BBC (aired afternoons, not prime time) Adapter: Alexander Baron | Director: Peter Hammond Producer: Barry Letts | Story Editor: Terrence Dicks Main Cast: Tom Baker (Sherlock Holmes), Terence Rigby (Dr. Watson), Nicholas Woodison (Sir Henry Baskerville) Notable Guest Cast: Hubert Reeves (Inspector Lestrade) William Squire (Franklin) Morris Perry (Barrymore) Structure: Four-part serial Filmed Locations: English moors, Baskerville Hall sets Notable Detail: The dog playing the hound had to be coaxed to attack; it preferred affection to aggression Key Discussion Points: Why Baker seems to be reading lines rather than inhabiting the character Whether booking Baker was a scheduling decision (he's absent for large portions of the story) Why Hound of the Baskervilles is fundamentally a Watson story, not a Holmes story Terrence Rigby's Watson as more true to Doyle's original than other adaptations The paradox of Holmes as an "alien" character—brilliant beyond human comprehension, unable to relate to mortals Why Baker should have brought his alien-Doctor energy to the role The quality of the production itself (sets, locations, costumes) despite Baker's performance Nicholas Woodison's uncomfortable American accent as Sir Henry The "getting to know you" montage as shorthand storytelling Recognizing Carolyn John (who played Elizabeth Shaw in Season Seven) as Mrs. Lyons Why this adaptation is unfairly maligned compared to other Holmes performances The BBC's apology and Baker's own criticism of his work Coming Up Next: Wednesday (Patreon Exclusive 137 or 138): Music discussion, "The Stars Fell on Stockbridge" comics, and a review of "Creatures of Beauty" (Peter Davison and Sarah Sutton audio).

Terrence Dicks was brought in to write it. But immediately, a problem emerged: they had money for either John Pertwee (still playing the Doctor on television) or the Daleks. They couldn't afford both. The choice seemed obvious to everyone involved—go with the Daleks. They would draw the audiences. After all, kids coming to see a Doctor Who stage play wanted to see the show's most famous villains. So Pertwee stayed on television, and a new actor named Trevor Martin became the Doctor on stage. A Regeneration Scene Every Single Night At the beginning of every performance, the audience witnessed something unique: they saw the ailing Third Doctor (Pertwee's costume, a white wig, his back to the audience) collapse on stage. Above them, a giant screen showed John Pertwee's face slowly morphing via projected slides into Trevor Martin's face. While the audience watched that transformation, Martin was on the stage floor removing the wig and revealing himself as the new Doctor. It was meta theater decades before the term became common—the audience became part of the story. A Short Run Cut Even Shorter by History The play premiered December 16, 1974, in London. It received decent reviews, but it was underfunded and ultimately lost money. A planned national tour never happened. Why? The production coincided with the height of IRA bombing threats in London. Theater districts were evacuated. Performances were canceled. Bomb scares shut down entire neighborhoods. In the end, the threats and closures cost the production far more than lack of audience interest ever could. Lost Media, Lost History Unlike the BBC television productions, which had photographers documenting them for posterity (leading to the famous Tele-Snaps), no one filmed or even photographed the stage play in any systematic way. The sets, the Dalek designs (which were reportedly different from both TV and movie versions), the TARDIS interior, the lighting design—all of it exists only in the memories of those who saw it and the words of the script. No one bothered to record it for posterity. By contrast, the 1989 stage production "The Ultimate Adventure" (with Pertwee and later Colin Baker) was filmed and preserved. In the 1970s, apparently the thought never occurred to anyone. A Casting Callback You Might Not Expect Trevor Martin, the stage Doctor, had previously appeared in Doctor Who television—he was one of the three Time Lords who banished Patrick Troughton to Earth in "The War Games." So he wasn't unknown to Doctor Who production. More interestingly, Wendy Padbury (Zoe from the Second Doctor era) played Jenny in the original stage production. For the 2008 Big Finish audio adaptation, her daughter Charlie Hayes played Jenny, creating a direct lineage from the original theatrical performance to the modern audio drama. The 2008 Adaptation: A Faithful Recreation of an Unseen Original Terrence Dicks was brought in to adapt his own 34-year-old script for Big Finish. The producer John Ainsworth asked if Dicks wanted to make changes. Dicks said no—he tightened a few things for pacing, but the dialogue and structure remained essentially what he wrote for the stage. For the audio, they brought Trevor Martin back to reprise his role. They also brought in Nicholas Briggs to voice the earlier regeneration of the Doctor (the Pertwee version briefly heard at the top). Questions of Canonicity That May Never Be Answered Unlike Peter Cushing's film Doctors, who exist in an alternate universe and were later acknowledged in New Who, the stage Doctor and this play exist in a strange limbo. The play was never televised. It's not part of the main canon. Trevor Martin and this incarnation don't appear in anniversary specials. When the Thirteenth Doctor sees echoes of previous incarnations in "The Power of the Doctor," this Doctor isn't among them. So where does he fit? Nowhere official. He's canon in the same way Big Finish's licensed audio productions are canon—for those who accept them as such, and for no one else. A Story That Desperately Wants to Be Seen, Not Heard Both hosts find themselves wrestling with the same fundamental problem: Doctor Who works best as a visual medium. Listening to a stage play script without knowing what the production looked like—how they solved the problem of the TARDIS materializing and dematerializing on stage, how they managed Dalek movement in a live theater setting, what the alien planet actually looked like—creates a void of imagination that the audio alone can't fill. The hosts spend considerable time wondering about these production details rather than focusing on the story itself. An Interesting Question That's Never Been Asked One conversation point emerges that becomes surprisingly fascinating: has there ever been a female Dalek? In 60 years of Doctor Who—television, audio, novels, comics—no one has ever given a Dalek a female voice. During this adaptation, Jenny (a female character) ends up inside a Dalek casing and must speak with the Dalek modulation. For the first time in Who history, listeners hear what a female Dalek sounds like. The hosts wonder why this idea has never been explored in official productions, and discuss what an "Empress Dalek" might mean for Dalek mythology. Production Details: Original Stage Play Premiere: December 16, 1974 (London) Writer: Terrence Dicks Original Director: Mick Hughes Original Cast: Trevor Martin (the Doctor), Wendy Padbury (Jenny), various supporting actors Reason for Short Run: IRA bombing threats and theater closures in London; planned national tour canceled Big Finish Audio Adaptation: October 2008 Audio Director: John Ainsworth Audio Cast: Trevor Martin (reprising the Doctor from 1974), Charlie Hayes (Jenny, daughter of original Jenny actress Wendy Padbury), Nicholas Briggs (Pertwee's Doctor in voiceover) Runtime: Presented in two parts (~50 minutes, ~30 minutes) Status: Not considered canon to main Doctor Who timeline; exists as a Big Finish exclusive Budget: £5,000 (estimated for original stage production) Surviving Documentation: Script only; no film, video, or systematic photography of the original production Key Discussion Points: The forced choice between Pertwee and the Daleks, and why the Daleks won The nightly regeneration scene as audience participation theater Why no one recorded or photographed the original stage production The impact of IRA bombing threats on the production's survival How Trevor Martin's previous Doctor Who appearance affects viewing of this role The significance of Wendy Padbury's daughter playing Jenny in the audio Why a female Dalek voice is notable and why it's never been done before The story vs. the production: what we're missing by only having audio The canonicity question and how it differs from Peter Cushing's Doctor Who films Whether the play would have continued if it had been financially successful Coming Up Next: Monday (Patreon Exclusive): We discuss "Lux" from the Ncuti Gatwa era.

The Commentary Booth takes its first side quest in the Star Wars journey as Jamie Apps and Corrina Mabey revisit Rogue One: A Star Wars Story as the film hits its 10th anniversary. Directed by Gareth Edwards, this 2016 space opera swaps lightsabers and Jedi for a gritty spy-espionage thriller, following Jyn Erso and a crew of morally grey rebels on a suicide mission to steal the Death Star plans.Jamie and Corrina break down why Rogue One still stands as one of the strongest entries in the Star Wars canon: its unconventional cast of unknowns, the grounded, dirty aesthetic that separates it from the rest of the saga, and the way it threads the needle between spin-off and essential canon without ever feeling like a cash grab. They dig into K2SO's unscripted slap, the uncanny valley CGI resurrection of Peter Cushing's Tarkin, the "save the dream" mishearing debate around Forest Whitaker's Saw Gerrera, and the multi-layered chaos of the Battle of Scarif. They also weigh in on Rogue One's box office haul, its origins as a scrapped Star Wars Underworld pitch, and where it lands in their personal Star Wars rankings.Highlights Breakdown: - Why Rogue One might be the BEST Star Wars spin-off ever - The emotional gut-punch of the Battle of Scarif - K-2SO's ad-libbed slap that broke Diego Luna - Do CGI recreations work? - Where does Rogue One rank against the original trilogy? - Plus: Ewok movies, Andor talk, and hot takes galore!Where does Rogue One rank for you in the pantheon of Star Wars films?This week's episode is brought to you byAustralian Wrestling CardsCheck out more great content from Pario Magazine on our website.-------------------------------------------------------------SUPPORT PARIO MAGAZINE & THE COMMENTARY BOOTH- PATREON- BUY MERCH- AMAZON PRIME VIDEO- TUBEBUDDY- Subscribe to AEW Plus using my code (q0yydoz) to earn $10 in FITE credit- Shop Online With Honey- Shop Online With SatechiMY EQUIPMENT- Elgato Facecam- Rode PodMic- Elgato Wave Mic Arm LP- Streamlabs Talk StudioFOLLOW JAMIE ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Twitter- Facebook- Instagram- TikTokFOLLOW PARIO MAGAZINE ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Twitter- Facebook- Instagram

Horror history gets iconic, aquatic, gothic, apocalyptic, and completely unhinged this week as This Week in Horror History travels through June 15–21 with motel terror, shark sequels, dark superhero nightmares, zombie blockbuster chaos, and one wild space-vampire cult classic that brings cosmic horror crashing down on Earth.This episode digs into a packed week of classic horror movies, cult horror, summer blockbusters, gothic comic-book horror, zombie disaster cinema, and 1980s Cannon Films madness, including the New York premiere of Psycho, the U.S. release of Jaws 2, the theatrical arrival of Batman Returns, the blockbuster zombie outbreak of World War Z, and the Deep-Cut Spotlight on Tobe Hooper's bizarre 1985 space vampire epic Lifeforce.Inside this episode:• Psycho rewrites the rules of horror moviegoing, turns the Bates Motel into a nightmare landmark, and makes one ordinary shower one of the most famous crime scenes in cinema.• Jaws 2 drags audiences back to Amity Island for more shark terror, seaside panic, and one of horror's most frustrating “nobody believes the guy who is right” sequel setups.• Batman Returns transforms Gotham into a twisted Christmas horror fairy tale full of sewer lairs, circus gangs, stitched leather, abandoned children, corporate monsters, Catwoman, and the Penguin.• World War Z reimagines the zombie apocalypse as global disaster cinema, with the undead moving less like slow corpses and more like a rushing human flood.• The Deep-Cut Spotlight goes to Lifeforce, Tobe Hooper's strange, ambitious, and deeply excessive Cannon Films cult classic about Halley's Comet, alien vampires, life-draining seduction, plague victims, and London falling apart under cosmic horror.Plus: a horror birthday roll featuring Courteney Cox, Laurie Metcalf, John Carl Buechler, and Nicole Kidman, a creepy look at how horror became a massive summer marketing event, and a weekly recommendation for Hammer's Dracula, also known as Horror of Dracula, starring Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing.From Norman Bates and shark-infested beaches to Gotham monsters, zombie swarms, Halley's Comet, space vampires, Hammer horror, and Cannon Films insanity, this week proves horror history can be classic, blockbuster-sized, cult, strange, seductive, and absolutely impossible to ignore.

"There is more evil around us here than I have ever encountered before" For our classic film, we are revisiting the 1959 version of The Hound of the Baskervilles, made by Hammer Films in full-on gothic horror mode, starring Peter Cushing as Sherlock Holmes and André Morell as Watson. Co-starring Christopher Lee, Marla Landi, and John Le Mesurier. 

There are some performers whose very presence in a film is going to capture a monster kid's attention. Peter Cushing is one of those performers, and this week, Dominique Lamssies joins Derek for a Cushing chat. Plus Mark Matzke's Beta Capsule Review (Ultraman Taro)!

Hammer Horror delivered one of its finest 1970s films with Blood from the Mummy's Tomb, despite a notoriously cursed production. This 1971 British release is the studio's fourth and final Mummy film, loosely adapted by Christopher Wicking from Bram Stoker's 1903 novel The Jewel of Seven Stars. Crucially, it remains the only entry in the franchise where a physical mummy never actually appears.The trouble began early when a gap in the studio schedule forced the film into premature production. Wicking wanted to keep Stoker's original book title, but James Carreras refused, leading to a brainstorming session that birthed Blood from the Mummy's Tomb – a title Wicking never expected them to use. Wicking also clashed with producer Howard Brandy and was barred from the set, forcing him to work with director Seth Holt secretly in the evenings. Brandy later claimed the script was unshootable and heavily rewritten by Holt. Brandy also wanted to cast Amy Grant, but Sir James Carreras insisted on Valerie Leon.Tragedy struck five weeks into the six-week shoot when Seth Holt suffered a fatal heart attack on set, collapsing into the arms of actor Aubrey Morris. Michael Carreras tried to recruit Don Sharp to finish the film, but Sharp was committed to a project in Israel. Michael Carreras ultimately directed the final week himself, later noting that Holt's footage did not cut together well, forcing them to salvage what they could.Valerie Leon shines in the dual roles of Margaret Fuchs and Queen Tera. Beyond her famous Hai Karate aftershave adverts and seven Carry On appearances – including Carry On Christmas: Carry On Stuffing – Leon delivered a critically praised performance but clashed with the studio. She was deeply upset when producers denied her time off to attend Holt's funeral, and her refusal to perform a nude scene required a body double. Hammer never hired her again. Her career later included roles alongside two different James Bonds, Roger Moore and Sean Connery.The supporting cast features incredible British character talent. James Villiers plays Corbeck, George Coulouris plays Berigan, and Aubrey Morris features as Doctor Putnum. Morris was described by Jeremy Brett to Noël Coward as the finest small-part player in London, boasting roles in The Wicker Man, A Clockwork Orange, and as the bubble-bathing B-Ark captain in The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Rosalie Crutchley plays Helen Dickerson. James Cossins brings his trademark blustering authority to the role of an abusive psychiatric nurse, and a young Anthony Head makes an uncredited appearance.Andrew Keir plays Julian Fuchs, stepping in after Peter Cushing completed just one day of filming before leaving due to his wife's emphysema diagnosis. Keir's presence links back to our Quatermass and the Pit reviews, Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D., and Cleopatra alongside Richard Burton. The film is elevated by a brilliant electronic score by Tristram Ogilvie Cary, the pioneer who founded EMS, created the VCS 3 synthesiser, and composed the music for the first Doctor Who Dalek serial.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/general-witchfinders.

This week on the Scary Spirits Podcast, we pay solemn tribute to two titans of terror—the incomparable Peter Cushing and Sir Christopher Lee—by revisiting the chilling 1972 cult classic, Horror Express. Step aboard a snowbound locomotive hurtling through the frozen desolation of Siberia, where something ancient, unspeakable, and utterly relentless stalks its prey beneath the dim glow of gaslight. Civilization fades with every passing mile… and survival becomes a most uncertain luxury.

Miles and Charlie have come down with a case of the ‘too British for Star Trek' and are coping with it the only way they know how, by once more becoming Space Scamps and hopping over to Moonbase Alpha for three more episodes of Space 1999! We've an unintentional theme of guest stars here as ‘Force of Life' gives us a young Ian McShane coming down with a bad case of heat vamperism while ‘Alpha Child' gives us evil children, weird cosmic space incest with Julian Glover (he's been in a lot of stuff) and then finally, ‘Missing Link‘ gives us a guest turn by Peter Cushing in a costume choice slightly more dignified than Christopher Lee back in Space Scamps II and Charlie asks us a terrifying question… why have we not watched any season 2 yet…

EPISODES MENTIONED: Force of Life (09:14) Alpha Child (28:58) Missing Link (50:53)


TALKING POINTS: The Abominable Dr. Phibes, New Classic Doctor Who, The Employees, The House on the Borderland, Sailing, Rhinestone Cowboy, a very young Ian McShane who to Miles' surprise is NOT playing a scumbag, coworkers coming into work while sick, Space 1999's production values ALWAYS impress, Sunshine is a great movie, is this incest? Maybe.

Space-Rationalists are the worst. Space 1999 is the wrong show to be doing Logic vs. Emotion, this is why we have a stunt crew, Space 1999 would have made a great season of The Terror, we feel sorry for Moonbase Alpha's catering department

Send us Fan MailWoHos!This week we had a look at two Anthology/Portmanteau films: TALES FROM THE CRYPT & SOUTHBOUND. We enjoyed one of them.Mac and I spent the episode comparing the two anthology films with very different levels of success. SOUTHBOUND got a mixed response—we found one segment that worked, but overall the film didn't quite hold together. There's a sense that it had potential but didn't fully deliver across all its stories.In contrast, TALES FROM THE CRYPT (1972) (have you seen it? Do yourself a favor!)  stands out as a high point of the genre. You both agree it's one of the best anthology horror films ever made, with strong, memorable segments and a consistency that keeps it engaging from start to finish. Next up on the pod we are looking at Witches with VIY from Russia and SEASON OF THE WITCH from the seventies.

Duncan is here to review a fascinating outlier in the Hammer Film Productions catalogue, Fear in the Night trades gothic horror for something far more intimate and unsettling. Directed by Jimmy Sangster, this psychological chiller leans heavily on atmosphere and performance, with Judy Geeson delivering a genuinely gripping turn as a woman unsure whether she's being hunted or losing her grip on reality. Supported by the ever-reliable Peter Cushing and a quietly enigmatic Joan Collins, the film stands as one of Hammer's more unusual experiments—less iconic, perhaps, but rich in tension and worth rediscovery.This new Collector's Edition from Studio Canal marks the film's worldwide 4K debut, giving Sangster's eerie, stripped-back thriller a fresh lease of life. The release includes a brand-new 4K restoration presented on both 4K UHD and Blu-ray, alongside a strong set of extras and physical additions for collectors. Features include: 4K UHD & Blu-ray discs New 4K restorationAudio commentariesFeaturettes including: The Fragile Mind and End of TermTheatrical trailer, stills gallery64-page booklet with new essaysBrand-new artworkTwo posters & a release date of 23rd March 2026.The grading follows the Netflix rating style of 1 = Hated It, 2 = Didn't Like It, 3 = Liked It, 4 = Really Liked It & 5 = Loved ItFear in the Night:Duncan: 4Thanks to Studio Canal & Fetch PR for the review copy of this movie.Our new RSS Feed: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://anchor.fm/s/13ba6ef0/podcast/rss⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out the show on ⁠⁠⁠⁠Anchor⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠iTunes⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠TuneIn⁠⁠⁠⁠ & on ⁠⁠⁠⁠Stitcher Radio⁠⁠⁠⁠.Please leave us feedback on ⁠⁠⁠⁠iTunes⁠⁠⁠⁠, podcastunderthestairs@gmail.com and follow us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠.TIMECODE FEAR IN THE NIGHT BLURAY REVIEW00:00:00 Intro00:02:20 Unboxing00:04:02 Fear in the Night Review00:09:05 Special Features00:13:55 Closing

Something of a mad one this. Instead of bashing together another monster and being left with the worst looking Airfix kit in the shop, the Baron has decided to switch it up a bit and do some soul shuffling instead.What Hammer ended up with is a film that was roundly dismissed by critics, but what will the lads in the house think of this premise that's wobblier than a Doctor Who set and made on an even similar budget?Listen on in the key of A...“The House Of Hammer Theme” written and produced by Cev MooreArtwork by Richard Wells All the links you think you'll need & more! https://linktr.ee/househammerpod

Frankenstein Created Woman (1967) | Hammer Horror & Peter Cushing Deep DiveWelcome to another atmospheric installment of the General Witchfinders podcast. In this episode, we are throwing chronology to the wind and jumping straight into the heart of the Hammer Films oeuvre. Having previously explored the Baron's first experiment in The Curse of Frankenstein and his final bow in Frankenstein and the Monster From Hell, we now settle into the middle of the franchise with the 1967 cult classic: Frankenstein Created Woman.Directed by the undisputed master of gothic cinema, Terence Fisher, and featuring a career-defining performance by Peter Cushing, this film stands as one of the most intellectually provocative entries in the Hammer Horror canon. Interestingly, this is famously cited as one of Martin Scorsese's favorite films, proving that the brilliance of the Baron transcends the "B-movie" label.The Soul of Science: Baron Victor FrankensteinIn Frankenstein Created Woman, Peter Cushing returns as Baron Victor Frankenstein. Unlike earlier iterations where the focus was on the stitching of limbs and the reanimation of dead tissue, the screenplay by Anthony Hinds (writing as John Elder) takes a metaphysical turn. Here, the Baron is obsessed with the soul.The plot follows the wrongful execution of Hans Werner (Robert Morris), the lover of the physically scarred Christina Kleve (Susan Denberg). After Christina takes her own life in grief, the Baron captures Hans's soul and traps it within Christina's surgically repaired body. This results in a "soul-swapping" revenge thriller that remains unique within the Frankenstein series. Cushing's performance is refined, showing a Baron who is less of a graverobber and more of a cold, calculated philosopher of the macabre.The Legend of Susan Denberg and Nikki van der ZylThe casting of Susan Denberg is central to the film's legacy. A German-Austrian model and 1966 Playboy Miss August Playmate, Denberg was already known to sci-fi fans for her appearance in the Star Trek episode "Mudd's Women." While her visual presence is striking, the production decided her Austrian accent was too strong for the character.Enter the legendary Nikki van der Zyl. If you have watched a James Bond film, you have likely heard her voice. She famously dubbed Honey Ryder in Dr. No and provided dialogue for countless Bond girls and even Gert Fröbe in Goldfinger. Her work on Frankenstein Created Woman adds a layer of polished professional mystery to Christina's character, bridging the gap between Hammer Horror and the 1960s spy-fi aesthetic.The Hammer Character Actor NexusAs we always do at General Witchfinders, we track the "mother nexus" of British character actors who populated the halls of Bray Studios. This film is a treasure trove for genre enthusiasts:Thorley Walters (Dr. Hertz): A close personal friend of director Terence Fisher, Walters brings a much-needed warmth to the role of the Baron's assistant. Fans will recognize him as a recurring Doctor Watson in various Sherlock Holmes adaptations, including Sherlock Holmes and the Deadly Necklace.Duncan Lamont (Werner): A veteran of the Hammer stable, Lamont appeared in the original Quatermass Experiment and returned for the 1967 film version of Quatermass and the Pit. He is also a favorite of ours from The Creeping Flesh.Robert Morris (Hans Werner): Another Quatermass alum who brings a tragic weight to the first half of the film.Derek Fowlds (Johann): Long before he was a household name in Yes Minister and Heartbeat, Fowlds was a RADA scholar cutting his teeth in the world of horror.Production History: From Bray Studios to the ScreenThe road to Frankenstein Created Woman was long. It was originally mooted as a follow-up to The Revenge of Frankenstein in 1958, capitalizing on the popularity of Roger Vadim's And God Created Woman. By the time it went into production at Bray Studios in July 1966, it was one of the penultimate productions at that iconic location.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/general-witchfinders.

In this video, Chris and Gerry dive into Twins of Evil, one of the most provocative and stylish entries in the legendary Karnstein Trilogy from Hammer Film Productions.

Is Twins of Evil a gothic masterpiece or pure exploitation wrapped in a morality tale?  If you love classic horror, Hammer films, and vintage vampire cinema, this one's for you.
