Happy Easter! Jesus may have died for our sins, but did he do it wearing a Juicy Couture tracksuit? I don’t THINK SO.

For Episode 24 I’m joined by CASS CLARKE, editor at /Film, film critic, co-host of the Horror Hangover podcast and author of the upcoming novella THE CARETAKER which is due from our friends over at Hear Us Scream Press.

Join Cass and I as we discuss succubal angst, righteous redemption, the horror of bad marketing and ask ourselves: fellas, is it gay to be totally and utterly obsessed with your BFF? That’s right, we’re off the Devil’s Kettle to explore and embrace the feminine rage of Karyn Kusama’s JENNIFER’S BODY.

Get in loser, we’re getting depressed as hell! For Episode 23 I’m joined by writer CHRISTINA BRENNAN, who is currently in the editing process for her Devil’s Advocate book on the film we’re discussing today. Kubrick called this film the most terrifying he had ever seen, yet there’s some debate as to whether it’s a horror - or just horrifying.

Join Dr Christina and I as we discuss determinism, disappearing and the Gothic nature of a fate worse than death, in George Sluizer’s 1988 thriller THE VANISHING.

💘 HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY! 💘

We all know this day is a scam made up by card companies and capitalist overlords, but it’s also a day to celebrate love, lust and our most lavicious of horror crushes. I asked members of the horror and film community to call in to my Valentine’s Day hotline and confess their crushes: with the caveat that I wanted them creepy, weird and very problematic. And what kind of host would I be if I didn't include a few of my own very questionable fancies?

IMMEASURABLE THANKS TO THE CALLERS BOTH ANONYMOUS AND NAMED, YOU BEAUTIFUL HORNY FREAKS MAKE MY LIFE WORTH LIVING:

Episode 22 takes us to small-town surburbia where I'm joined by DEVAUGHN TAYLOR, co-host of the Specter Cinema Club, filmmaker and disco daddy. DeVaughn’s FFO of provocative, luscious and sticky is maybe my favourite to date (I know, I know, I say it all the time), and led us to the perfect culmination of teenage angst and bloodlust in a 2010’s cult classic.

So say your prayers, sharpen your scalpels and get ready to dissect the monstrous feminine, the philosophy of psychopathy and the life-changing power of embracing your bodily functions, in Richard Bates Jr.'s EXCISION.

When discussing the 'the scariest found-footage movie of all time', I knew I needed an expert in the genre. So there was nobody better to ask than the KING of found footage horror art and illustration, Trevor Henderson. Trevor has long been inducing nightmares in the best of us, with his iconic works such as Siren Head and Mr Bag taking on lives and lore of their own in the viral world of creepypasta.

Trevor has a hugely exciting year coming up; already he's had one of his ghastly creations (compliment) feature in SCARE PACKAGE 2, an upcoming middle grade book with Scholastic, a new series of his podcast Mayfair Watchers Society and a very secret announcement upcoming regarding concept art for a feature film...

Get comfy, pop in that cursed video tape, and listen as Trevor and I discuss cosmic horror, demonic metaphors and ectoplasmic worms in Koji Shiraishi's J-horror masterpiece NOROI: THE CURSE
