Eee! The Horror

Get ready for something kinda eee in this special Halloween episode as we rewatch a noughties TV classic

Hamsterley Forest was never like this. For the second of our Halloween picks, we head into the woods to seek out a malign figure of local folklore. Doubts hang over whether we'll return or our recordings will be discovered ...

Happy Halloween! For the first of our two spooky season picks, we head back to October 31, 1992, to relive the one and only broadcast of Ghostwatch. Join as we investigate whether it's janky as old pipes, or if everything comes together as one glorious whole.

So ... families can be hell. And that's really all we can say without spoilers. We will be unleashing all the spoilers in the episode however, so if you don't want to know what happens - please listen anyway. We're trying to get an audience here, man.

We're joined by Ben Hollingum, a senior editor at Guinness World Records, to look at the horror cinema that brutally slashed, hacked and gouged through the competition to come out on top. In a record-achieving sense.

Let the games begin! Cute family guy Vladdy is just trying to go about his business in Transylvania Town and put his impaling era behind him. But there's trouble on the horizon, with Turkish barbarians springing up everywhere, ready to trim the teen boy population.

We get hot under the collars and worried that a psychiatrist might be listening - just kidding, we'd be happy for any f*ck*r to be listening - as we make our picks of the horror movies with the most potent sexual crackle.

We're hoping for a truly transformative experience from Vicki's pick for this episode - not least because one of its stars comes from our neck of the woods and might even have issued the occasional 'Eee!' in real life

As Amity Island is menaced by a Great White Shark for a second time in the smoke-raddled 70s, we ponder what Chief Brody can learn from Madonna, whether the scar-faced shark is the girlfriend of that one in the first film, and why so many boomers on Facebook groups have it in for Jackie.

We discuss our picks for the horror movies we'd put on when we're feeling a little delicate and dehydrated

Friend of the pod Emma is back and has extended us an invite to Midsommar. Apparently there's loads of tea to be had - count us in!

We glam up 60s-style for a series of dream nights out in sleazy, sexy Soho. But just when we think we've met a groovy geezer, we get ghosted!

Art the Clown is a real side-splitter - and if only it stopped there. Us party gals compare notes as we sober ourselves up with a slice of pizza.

We take a whistlestop tour of horror movies that are popularly believed to be cursed - and sort out that whole 'Mandela Effect' thing along the way

Ping! Another episode is ready for your consumption. Will Microwave Massacre be a quick, cheeky treat or underheated slop that leaves a bad taste?

New York, New York - it's a hell of town. We break our silence on this apocalyptic horror franchise with a look at the third but also first chapter.

We pack our toothbrushes, timber allergy pills and mosquito repellent to pay a visit to Black Lake - and our headlines are gonna need to be sharp and snappy for this one. You know, cos it's about a crocodile and that.

We can't keep our traps shut as we step into the grisly world of Jigsaw - will Graham be captivated by his first encounter with the franchise?

We pop by for a viewing of a property* neither of us have seen before - 2020's His House. * - you know, like an intellectual property. Work with us here. But will this spooky story be one we want to rent, buy, or get as far away from as possible?

We take a deep dive into the deleted and alternative scenes from the original cut of Death Becomes Her. The movie's ending was changed just a few weeks before its release in cinemas, and we need to know more.

Now you're talking! We flatter the ageless black comedy with our compliments, though Graham plays hard to get by picking at a few loose flakes in the plot.

We rewind to the early noughties to catch a blockbuster from the late-stage VHS era - a crazy fantasy where recorded media spread evil like a disease

As we get driven round the bend examining the plot contrivances of this 90s teen slasher favourite, we're joined by a guest we know will make a big splash. Holly from A Toast to Pop Culture has recently popped her IKWYDLS cherry - but was she hooked?

As we settle in to discuss 2012 supernatural chiller The Woman in Black, we're spookily joined by a presence - one of its cast members! Vicki's mate Emma Shorey has tangled with the vengeful ghoul before, so we have high hopes that, with her help, we'll make it out alive and be able to file our stories.

We pull ourselves together to cast an eye over the various parts that make up Guillermo del Toro's take on the perennial tale of artificial intelligence and the male loneliness epidemic
