Ep 212 Ghostbusters

Dec 01 2024 69 mins  
It’s part 2 of our ‘New York’ series - the city so nice they podcasted about it twice - and we finally get to “Ghostbusters”. A film in which… well, it’s “Ghostbusters”. Surely you’ve seen it? The original and still best; whatever your take on the films that followed; this is a stone cold 100% classic. With visual effects and character comedy that (pretty much)

Ep 211 - Friday the 13th pt VIII Jason Takes Manhattan

Nov 17 2024 38 mins  
It’s part 1 of our ‘New York’ series, and we take a slow boat to the Big Apple with “Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan”. A film in which a group of students get ripped off when they hire a “cruise ship”; New York City is a seething cesspool of crime and toxic waste; and Kane Hodder gets to pre-emptively leather the bloke who eventually nicked his job. �

Ep 210 Halloween we have been watching

Oct 28 2024 104 mins  
Welcome To Horror Presents: “The Return of We Have Been Watching”. Just in time for Halloween (or maybe just after, depending on the schedule) here’s a round up of all the spooky shit the WTH team have been shoving up their brains. This episode we discuss “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” (2024); “Tucker & Dale Vs Evil” (2010); Abattoir Fermé’s “Hotel Poseidon”(2021);

Ep 209 Now I am the Master

Oct 20 2024 38 mins  
It’s time to act like professional gravy tasters and take stock. For over 200 episodes, Chris has been exposed to all manner of horrors by Lee and Adam, and it now feels like high time that the Padawan has achieved the rank of master, and is granted a place on the council (because we know how it plays out if we don’t). A little look back over the span of Welcome To Horror up t

Ep 208 - Shadow of the Vampire

Oct 06 2024 38 mins  
It’s part 2 of our ‘Behind the scenes’ series, and we spend some time in the “Shadow of the Vampire”. A film in which we learn that Count Orlok was a pioneer of ASMR videos; a ferret is no substitute for a fresh young cameraman; and Cary Elwes can do a pitch perfect impression of Jürgen Prochnow. A wonderful blur of fact and fiction in which FW Murnau employs a real vamp

6 Feet Deeper - Late Night With The Devil

Sep 29 2024 23 mins  
Adam’s back in the Library with a bonus episode of extra gubbins left over from our recent episode on “Late Night With The Devil” As always, we recommend you listen to our main episode (number 207) first, before diving into this swirling hypno-disc of fact. We hope you enjoy this little transmission from the Welcome To Horror Fact Library.

Ep 207 Late Night With The Devil

Sep 22 2024 36 mins  
We go back in time to remember a Halloween past, and become embroiled in a diabolical ratings war as we watch “Late Night With The Devil”. A film in which we learn that Scoleciphobia and Hypnosis are a very potent mix for light entertainment; that a TV producer can invoke more terror than an actual demon; and that the owls are not what they seem. Drawing from a number of real-l

Ep 206 Guys at parties like it

Sep 08 2024 35 mins  
It’s a bit of a different ep this week as Chris and Adam discuss (in a hopefully mostly spoiler-free way) the brand new film from Mattioli Productions; “Guys At Parties Like It”, streaming now on Tubi and Apple TV. “Guys At Parties Like It” focuses on a College Fraternity Party; where the men collectively revel in a crucible of pathetic hazing rituals and toxic masculinit

Ep 205 We have been watching

Aug 25 2024 70 mins  
Welcome To Horror Presents: “The Memoirs of We Have Been Watching”. It’s been a little while - but here’s one of our regular instalments of “We Have Been Watching”, in which we discuss all our extracurricular viewing. This ep covers “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire”; Jonathan Glazer’s “Under the Skin”; Gareth Tunley’s “The Ghoul” (2016); a “Nightmare on El

Bonus Episode - 6 Feet Deeper: Sightseers

Aug 18 2024 23 mins  
Here’s Adam with a bonus episode of all the factoids and thingamajigs we didn’t quite get to on our recent “Sightseers” episode. We recommend you listen to our main episode (number 204) first, before diving into this cooling yet petrifying well of information. Hope you enjoy this little transmission from the Welcome To Horror Fact Library.
