Horror Roulette Podcast

We're back for Anthony's second birthday wheel spin on episode 96 and the second fateful pick from the first decade of Anthony's horror fandom is James Wan's 2013 supernatural horror. The Conjuring. Trying our hardest not to call out the Warrens as charlatans, every other sentence Anthony talks about how he believes The Conjuring informed the tones and pace of supernatural horrors...

Happy Birthday Anthony! And happy Friday wheel spin Sickos! July can only mean one thing here at HRP and that's Anthony's birthday where for the entire month (5 whole weeks) of July, Anthony spins the wheel of films he has carefully curated!

To celebrate Juneteenth we wanted to spin a wheel that specifically celebrated black horror. The fates have spoken and we, for the first time ever have pulled a film that we covered for a spoiler free review in 2025. THATS RIGHT! We're covering 2025's, HIM. On a second watch we picked up on so much more than we did originally. Upon release, this film received a lot of negativity to which w...

For episode 95 we decided that we would make a queer pride wheel in honour of pride month. The fates have spoken and we will be covering the 1936 classic, Dracula's Daughter, one of the first films in horror cinema history (or any cinema history for that matter) that is truly considered to be queer coded. We touch on the Hays Code and the ways homosexuality was portrayed and the ways they coul...

Argh shit son!!! It's another spoiler free bonus episode and this time we're talking about the eagerly anticipated 6th installment of the franchise, Scary Movie. After Anthony confesses his initial skepticism based on love and nostalgia, we get into the enjoyment we both experienced whilst watching, Scary Movie 6. Is it going to change the world? No, probably not! Will it win awards? Of co...

It's another Friday wheel spin!!! Making its first appearance in the year of our lord 2026, is the zombie Wheel! Specifically, we are watching Planet Terror.

Join us on Episode 91 for a nostalgic journey into Renny Harlin's 2006 teen bop. The Covenant! Is this actually gayer than the lost boys? A group of gorgeous, sexy and homo-erotic teenage boys that Nellie will forever beckon out of the closet. Anthony isn't just questioning his sexuality in this episode but also the sketchy dialogue and the 2006 inappropriate misogyny... Problematic yes, but forgi...

The one wish willow has been broken and our one wish was for you to listen this episode! See what we did there? Join us as we review the theatrical directorial debut of Curry Barker's, Obsession.

The Horror Adjacent Wheel is back for episode 90 as we dig up this nostalgic Disney Romp from 93'. Starring Bette Middler, Kath Najimy and Sarah Jessica Parker. That's right we're heading to Salem, Massachusetts to talk about the family classic, Hocus Pocus. From the phenomenal casting to the all star architecture sprinkled throughout.

This Friday's wheel spin is brought to you by Johnny from In a Violent Nature, as Ry Barret joins us for the spin, where we pull the Stephen King adaptation, Mike Flanagan crossover, Doctor Sleep. We discuss the rise and fall of Danny Torrence and compare his addiction to that of his father's in The Shining and we can't help but GUSH over a problematic cult called The True Knot. We als...

Enjoy our spoiler free review on the 2023 game to 2026 film adaptation of Exit 8! We discuss liminal space... thats a given. We also gush over how this may be one of the best game to film adaptations we've had in years, the nods to earlier horror cinema and polarising characters that just may be good people with awful decision making skills. So make sure you leave us a comment so you can let u...

It has finally happened, 87 episodes in and the fates have FINALLY given us Scream, so, pressure is on as this is Nellie's favourite film of all time and a comfort watch on top of that. (After 50+ watches she should know what she's talking about) It would seem that between our talks on the meta nature of the film that breathed life back into the slasher genre and talks about those tiny det...

On this week’s spoiler free review, we’re dipping our toes into the sinuous bodily fluids of Lee Cronin's The Mummy. We get surprisingly emotional with this one as we ask, what happened to Katie? We talk about the family dynamics and this film’s relationship with faith. Sam Rami has clearly influenced not just the look, but the tone of this film. A mystery film mixed with gore and religion sets us...

This week we are revisiting our ghost wheel with the 2008 remake of, Shutter, starring Joshua Jackson and Rachael Taylor. We have a blast talking about the spirit photography phenomena and invasive photographers too. This film leads us into talking about appalling men and their appalling behaviour and how we're very glad they get what they deserve. The 00's of it all lends itself to the CG...

On this spoiler free bonus episode we are giving you guys our thoughts on the atmospheric paranormal horror, Undertone. A slowburn that relies on your own twisted imagination to fill in the blanks and counts on your curiosity. The sound design and camera shots are simply stunning and incredibly eerie. We've turned into language experts (ironic for 2 people who can barely string a sentence toge...

On Episode 85 we pull our second ever film from the vampire wheel!! (Can someone fact check that please?) To add to that, it's a sequel that Anthony added to his not very Christmasy Christmas wheel, it's 30 Days of Night: Dark Days. During this episode we freely give our opinions and don't hold back on the misconceptions our trailer watch through gave us for this and how is differed dr...

On episode 84 we are joined by the wonderful Grave Tone: Horror Podcast (our Canadian besties) and they've bought with them an absolutely BANGING wheel of Canadian horror. The fates have spoken and after much deliberation the fates have chosen In a Violent Nature, an absolute treat from 2024. We talk about how this film single-handedly flipped the slasher genre on its head; we discuss the stark co...

After a busy month of March we're fitting in one last spoiler free review of Kirill Sokolov's fun action horror, They Will Kill You. During the review we make comparions to some new and old horror and not so horror films. We break down the pesky IMDb synopsis (seriously, someone needs firing over there), the star studded cast and of course picking our favourite bits and not so favourite bi...

On Episode 83 we decided we didn't want to let international Womens month pass us by without celebrating with a wheel of films heavily featuring strong women. The fates took this opportunity to give us the regency era tongue in cheek zombie flick, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. We'll be talking about the interesting juxtaposition between Jane Austen's original source material and Set...
