October 6, 2016 Mr Ash

Browsing Netflix for Horror can be a mixed bag. When it comes to ‘classic’ films; for every LIFEFORCE there’s a HUMANOIDS FROM THE DEEP and when it comes to new films for every HUSH there’s a MOST LIKELY TO DIE. The story tells of a group of high school friends who gather together the night […]

October 5, 2016 Mr Ash

Whilst Black Phillip may be the new ‘kid’ on the block with THE WITCH, he’’s certainly not the first member of the Caprinae family to terrorise the celluloid world. Step up BLACK SHEEP, a New Zealand produced film from 2006 which pays more than passing tribute to the early works of one Peter Jackson. Some […]

Shocktober: UFO ABDUCTION

October 4, 2016 Mr Ash

For my next film entry in Shocktober, I decided to mix some Sci-Fi with my Horror and watch ALIEN ABDUCTION: INCIDENT IN LAKE COUNTY, or is it THE MCPHERSON TAPE? Wait, no, it’s UFO ABDUCTION. Maybe. Oh dear. I remember first seeing this film, (well, one of these films) back in the late 90s. The […]

Shocktober: EVOLVER

October 3, 2016 Mr Ash

1995 was an important year for me, for it was the year I first obtained semi-regular access to new issues of Fangoria. It took a burgeoning interest in horror and solidified it into a passion. Those lurid imported pages were full of movies that I hoped and prayed would find their way onto the shelves […]

Shocktober: PSYCHO II

October 2, 2016 Mr Ash

As a matter of fact, after this viewing I’m debating whether I’ve seen it at all and maybe my memories are of PSYCHO III or an entirely unrelated film that I thought was a relative of Hitchcocks superlative original slasher. However, after a […]

June 4, 2016 Mr Ash

In lieu of the actual video proposed for this week, we have one of those Unboxing videos that seem so popular on YouTube. Slightly later than anticipated due to international shipping here’s our look at the Aliens 30th Anniversary Loot Crate, which to make it slightly interesting is done as a ‘cold read’ with no […]

Hammered Horror 35: Spookies

May 24, 2016 Shakma

http://traffic.libsyn.com/hammeredhorror/HH35.mp3 Funny old game, Horror movies… a game of two halves. This is especially true in the case of SPOOKIES from 1986. Mr Paul and Mr Ash put their heads together to unravel what sort of child expects a birthday party in an abandoned mansion, exactly how old are our protagonists meant to be, and […]
