Don't Point That Horror At Me

Much like the mighty Pytho, this month's episode is quite the beast! So we've split it into two parts. Both out today! So don't worry, you don't need to wait to find out the bonkers conclusion to this brilliant book.

Jill and Becky chat about the RTC fan-favourite The Lifeguard (1991). Kelsey's having a questionable holiday on an island considering she has a mortal fear of swimming but luckily there are lots of handsome lifeguards to keep her mind off the recurring nightmares. But a girl has gone missing and there's a 'creepy old man' who keeps chasing Kelsey around the cliffs. Which lifeguard will she end up...

We finally get drunk and don't like a book. Singalongs! Yawning! The possible beginnings of a Mr Drummond fan club! All this and more as Jill and Becky chat about Camp Fear (1994) by Carol Ellis. Plus all the usual nineties love with Lipgloss Jill's Nostalgic Number Ones and Becky's Box Office. FYI it gets a bit sweary so even though Point Horror books are suitable for younger readers, our podcast...

Becky and Jill chat about Barbara Steiner's 'Spring Break' (1996). Five pals head to the beach and end up staying in a haunted house. But is it really a ghost? How many Big Macs is too many Big Macs? What's so fascinating out at sea that people keep staring at it? We find out! FYI it gets a bit sweary so even though Point Horror books are suitable for younger readers, our podcast might not be.

A slightly odd format this month as Becky kinda starts us off and Jill sorta brings us home, with a reveal towards the end! Plus Lipgloss Jill's Nostalgic Number Ones and Becky's Box Office return with some big hitters and some surprises. Belinda knows she was involved in a fatal prank but who else knows? Is Noel the romantic dreamboat he appears? Will we get our first ever Point Horror sex scene?...

Jill and Becky chat about Diane Hoh's 'Funhouse' (1990). The Devil's Elbow rollercoaster has flown off its tracks and Tess is sure it wasn't an accident. Is The Boardwalk really being terrorised by a maniac? What's with the mysterious journal in the attic? How are there two people called Guy Joe? We find out! FYI it gets a bit sweary so even though Point Horror books are suitable for younger reade...

Becky and Jill chat (at length!) about Carol Ellis' 'My Secret Admirer' (1991). Jenny's new in town with only her dog and a few 'friends' for company, when a horrible accident occurs. But there's also someone leaving flirty messages and gifts. Can Jenny trust this mysterious boy? Was there really a scream during that storm? Will Peaches ever be allowed to feel comfortable in her own body? We find...

Jill and Becky chat about Caroline B. Cooney's 'The Cheerleader' (1992). Althea doesn't have any friends - or parents - but she does have a vampire that lives in her tower room. She longs for popularity, which the vampire can give in exchange for Althea's classmates. How far will she go to maintain her new cheerleader status? We find out! FYI it gets a bit sweary so even though Point Horror books...

Jill and Becky chat about R.L. Stine's 1991 classic 'The Baby-sitter'. Jenny's got a new babysitting job but there's an attacker on the loose and she's getting threatening phone calls. Who could it be? Chuck the class clown and dubious love-interest? Mike the neurotic dad? Willers the creepy neighbour? Donny the six-year-old with a penchant for horror VHS? We find out! FYI it gets a bit sweary so...
