Released in 2022, Smile follows a therapist (played by the hilariously named Sosie Bacon) who starts to experience a series of frightening that are connected to a supernatural entity that feeds off of people's negative emotions – at least, that’s what a quick Wikipedia summary of the film says anyway. I’ll be honest, I was so bored watching it that I had no idea what was going on as I battled agai...

After becoming an instant cult classic after its release in 2008, Cloverfield has enjoyed its post release life bathed in a nostalgic glow. With a mosnterous budget of $25 million, Cloverfield was found footage like we had never seen before. With only The Blair Witch Project to compare it to, its easy to see how audiences may have been tricked into thinking that this was a hyper budget blockbuster...

When I first saw Midsommar, I was in a cinema with Paul, and as the film drew to its beautiful, horrifying and oddly joyous ending I knew I had just witnessed one of the best horror films that will ever be made. With Midsommar, Ari Aster takes a story that has been told before (it's basically The Wicker Man) and tells it so well that it becomes a beast all of its own. I collected my things, wa...

When you're as ultra-conservative as the lads at 100 Horrors are, all bongs are evil. Weed. Marijuana. Pot. Mary Jane. Call it what you like, we still call it The Devil's Lettuce and will do until we go to our hardline Christian graves... Nah, smoke em if you got em, just not to the point where you don't realise your friend has died and is sat bloating on the sofa in the living room like the guys...

Jordan Peele is a director with a problem. In 2017 he released his debut feature film after spending the majority of his career working in comedy, and it was surprisingly BRILLIANT. Get out - a film you can hear us review somewhere in the back catalogue - is a perfect film, and it quite rightly launched Jordan Peele's name past the pile labelled "up and coming" and onto the wall where most horror...

Director Kyle Edward Ball cut his teeth on YouTube, making making terrifying visual accompaniments to the nightmares that people submitted to him across Reddit. After that, he pulled together the money to make Skinamarink, which for a mere $15,000 took the Tik Tok world by storm and gained huge noteriety before many had even had the chance to watch it. The film then made its way to Shudder, and th...

Let's face it. Puppets are creepy as it is. You put your hand where the sun don't shine, and then they come to life. Equally creepy are the people who own and operate puppets. Ventriloquism, the act of being able to speak without moving one's lips is a talent that to me seems like witchcraft, and we all know how I feel about witches. Matthew Holness' Possum - yeah, THAT Matthew Hol...

Remember a time before it became cool to identify as a wiccan? Remember the time before it became the done thing to burn sage in your house, keep crystals in your pockets and collect tarrot cards like they had little Charizards on their reverses? Do you remember a time when witches stole babies, ground them up and used their guts to make their brooms fly? Thankfully, Robert Eggers remembers. Join...

This week we explore the second in what is likely to be a horror franchise that - like it’s terrifying antagonist - just won’t die. Seriously though, if you thought that Art being shot in the face five times was going to be enough to keep that particular clown down, you were sorely mistaken. You probably weren’t however, anywhere near as sore as Art’s victims are going to be by the time they meet...

In Season 02 Episode 01 of 100 Horrors we discuss Damien Leone's Terrifier. Made for an ABSURD $35k, this film has arguably laid the foundations of one of the most talked about Horror franchises of the modern age, and it has established Art The Clown as a contender for the prestigious "spookiest clown aside from IT" title. What is truly terrifying about this episode though, is that you can now wat...

In our final episode of season one, we (and around 55 of our friends!!) took over Off The Ground Coffee Shop in Middlesbrough to watch Stanley Kubrick's The Shining. Released in 1980, Stanley Kubrick's The Shining is based on the work of Steven King. Set in the Overlook hotel... ah you know what, who cares? WE MADE IT TO EPISODE 100 EVERYONE! THANKS FOR BEING THERE WITH US!! 

We'll be taking a little break between now and the launch of season 02, which starts with episode 100 of Season 01. Confusing, I know. Check back on the socials to see when the next episode will be landing wherever you get your podcasts!

Doctor Jeckyll is a man obsessed by the notion that each of us is made of two parts. One part of us is good, caring and empathetic. The other is blunt, crass, violent and rude, fuelled by narcissism and a set of hedonistic base desires. He creates a potion that brings out the bad side, allowing it to fully take control of the whole person and run riot for an evening before retreating back into the...
