Fear Feasts

A diabolically delicious taste of next week's episode!

When you're a witch, you can summon the Devil. But when your two best friends are also witches and you summon not just the Devil but the Daryl Van Horne, you're in for some horny times! Daryl loves beautiful witches, tennis, pianos, swimming pools, recording the greatest fears of his witch lady friends, and of course, he loves his fruit.....cherries in particular.

A lustfully luscious taste of next week's episode!

We're sharing a little hint of tasty terrors to come in Season 3, when we take on the connections between food and horror in witch literature and films, or as we like to call it, the Season of the Bitch......er, I mean, Witch! Season of the Witch is coming your way in two weeks, so please join us!

The joys of marriage are highly overrated, at least if you're a timid soul whose new husband was widowed less than a year ago, he brings you to live in and run his vast mansion on the coast, and his scary housekeeper keeps trying to turn you into a replica of the dead first wife. Even worse, you can't get any servants to bring you tea and crumpets under the chestnut tree without them laugh...

A terrifyingly taste of next week's episode!

We are cracking nuts and getting our stockings stuffed here in Fear Feast Land as we talk with Dr. Neil Buttery about his favorite Christmas movie of all time, Gremlins ! Gremlins is a bizarre 80s film produced by Steven Spielberg about a cute little furry animal that turns into a host of horrifying creatures once being fed after midnight, and the subsequent chaos that ensues. Don't eat after...

If you thought taking care of your own kids was hard, be glad you're not some nameless governess charged with caring for two little angels on an isolated estate, complete with ghosts, possessions and very little food. Or, be grateful you're the governess in the TV miniseries version, where there are still angelic kids, a big, spooky house filled with ghosts, and a ton of food! We'll di...

-A deliciously deviant taste of what's coming up next week!

Short people got no reason to live, according to songwriter Randy Newman, and in this case. the former owner of the hornily haunted Belasco House takes this concept to the extreme. Four ghost hunters descend upon Belasco House, a/k/a/ Hell House, to prove the existence of the afterlife, and get embroiled in some very smutty, sexy, sleazy, spiritual hijinks, eat some lamb dishes that are in no way...

A sinfully supernatural teaser for next week's episode!

Eating disorders are no joke, and when you combine one with a philandering husband, a haunted house, and living in upstate New York in the dead of winter - pun intended - it's no wonder you'd go off food entirely. We discuss the terrors of family dysfunction and eating, memory and fear, the nastiness of protein shakes, the importance of salad when avoiding "real" food, infidelity...

A dangerously delicious teaser for next Tuesday's episode.

It's Halloween, Fear Feast listeners, and we couldn't let the day pass us by without paying homage to the ultimate holiday horror film and book - Halloween! Yes, we're taking on that bad boy Michael Myers, his creepy white mask, his weird obsession with young topless women, his love of cookies and milk after murdering his sister, and trying to figure out why spilled butter from popcorn...

As though life isn't hard enough without having to live in a run-down council flat strewn with maggot-ridden pizza boxes, it's made even worse in this case by a witch spirit running round in the walls and scaring the holy hell out of you and your poor spouse. All you want to do is assimilate, eat some good food whether on the rug or at the dining room table, and try to forget the horrors o...

We all have mommy issues, and at the Allardyce House, there is one mother of a problem up in the attic. Still, if you got the chance to spend the summer in your dream (albeit a bit run-down) house and all you had to do was cook for a creepy old lady, fend off your horny husband's never-ending advances by the pool, rescue your kid from drowning a few times, and serve martinis to your lush of a...

A luscious little teaser for our upcoming episode!

A gastronomically ghastly taste of our upcoming episode!

Being Goths, we are totally down with black clothing in every instance. However, the solicitor at the heart of our episode will soon grow to hate the color black, particularly as he is constantly running into this terrifying woman dressed in our favorite color. It's bad enough he is sent to a house named after eels, it's difficult enough that he has to bring along his own brandy, and it&#3...

A terrifyingly toothsome hint of what's to come next week!

Growing up is hard enough without some pesky psychic ability rearing its ugly head, but when you're stuck in a haunted hotel over the winter with your neurotic mother and alcoholic father, enough ghosts to make you into a thumb-sucking terror, with no fresh fruit and with (oh the horror!) CANNED soup, why, it's enough to make you want to shine a light into every room to see what else you c...

A terrifyingly tasty teaser for our upcoming episode!

There's something to be said for being an only child who's also an heiress to a large fortune and an aspiring writer, but in this case, the truth turns out to be far stranger than any fictional Gothic tale. If you appreciate terrifying, blood-dripping ghosts and big, eerie mansions with holes in the roof, if you are partial to your afternoon tea served with a lovely dose of firethorn berri...

A pungently poisonous yet tastily terrifying teaser for our upcoming episode!

Wouldn't you like to be stuck on a British island in a big, eerie house with only your two bratty kids for company? You might want to kill them, but that's totally normal. What's not normal is when your daughter insists there is an invisible boy living in the house, when your son hears ghostly breathing, and when all you want to do is relax with your afternoon tea but you keep hearing...
