Surgeons of Horror: Podcast

A Wiccan cult lead by a vivacious vamp. Check. A random dwarf. Err...Check. And Christopher Lee donning some awesome shades whilst blending into a night club scene. Hell yes. Join the Surgeons for our second Full Moon Sessions on Howling 2: Your Sister is a Werewolf

With the power of the full moon, it’s time to bask in it’s cool glow in honour of all things lycanthropy with The Howling, based on a Gary Brandner novel of the same name and directed by Joe Dante who would spore a career out of creature features would initially turn heads with Piranha, a self-admitted Jaws rip-off.

Our first season way back in 2016 and admittedly with some ropey audio looks at the early Wes Craven movies, The Last House On The Left, made in 1972 along with fellow horror legend, Sean Cunningham (Friday the 13th) who was the films producer.
