Sometime a movie can creep you out to the point where you reach out to lead singer of one of your favourite bands and ask them if they will come onto a podcast and chat with you about it. It helps if that singer is the lead in that very same film. Please welcome lead singer of The Jesus Lizard and star of the new movie 'A Desert', David Yow onto A Year In Horror. A Desert comes to streaming 24th N...

It's time for one of those huge episodes. Well, it's a two parter anyways. 1961 was not the most ground breaking year for horror movies, well, as far as the big hitter films are concerned anyways. The highs are really high & the lows are few & far between. But, what do I think was the very greatest horror movie that came out during 1961? Well, here we have the top 3. A slew of also rans.

It's time for one of those huge episodes. Well, it's a 3 parter anyways. The 90s was a stinker of a decade for horror. That's what history tells us, well, let's investigate our selves because the old saying goes that history is written by the victors and horror always wins. So what do I think was the very greatest horror movie that came out during 1994? Well, here we have the top 5. The worst 10....

What podcast has not put out an episode on 'Weapons' yet? A Year In Horror, that's who. Now, to be different, I thought that considering the film has been out for 10 days now we could go over some of the think pieces put about about the film and take a look at some of the stats. Also, it would probably not be best to listen to this episode unless you have seen 'Weapons'. This episode is raw with n...
