Description

Your host Paul Waller (not Weller) is a horror movie addict. During 2020 the workload for his band and music management job slowed right down.
At this same time he discovered the movie social networking platform LETTERBOXD. Armed with this database he decided to fill in the gaps of his horror film knowledge. Within week one he was averaging 3 a day.
This podcast is the result of that horror compulsion - A YEAR IN HORROR

So, would you believe it. Today I chat with Jesse Sykes on A Year In Horror. Yes! Her from Jesse Sykes and the Sweet Hereafter. This is what it's all about. The film she wanted to cover was the 1973 classic Don't Look Now. A tale of loss of grief and a killer stalking the Venice canals.Jesse Sykes & the Sweet Hereafter

Oh my goodness, it's that time again to delve into the horror riddled mind of a musician that loves the genre and today that musician is the UK rock 'n' roll legend Ginger Wildheart. So strap on you black gloves, crack open a fresh J&B whisky and let's get down to the crack of a Lucio Fulci classic, The Beyond.
On Halloween this year Music For Nations released the latest album by Witch Fever called 'Fevereaten'. A record so dark, heavy and moving that it demands repeated listenings. On November 4th 2022 Blumhouse released the latest movie by Beth de Araújo called 'Soft and Quiet'. A film so dark, heavy and moving that it demands repeated viewings. This is what happens when those two forces of nature collide.Music For Nations Witch Fever

Sometime a movie can creep you out to the point where you reach out to lead singer of one of your favourite bands and ask them if they will come onto a podcast and chat with you about it. It helps if that singer is the lead in that very same film. Please welcome lead singer of The Jesus Lizard and star of the new movie 'A Desert', David Yow onto A Year In Horror.A Desert comes to streaming 24th November. CHECK IT OUT    
Today we welcome musician Keaton Henson onto the A Year in Horror podcast to chat about a subject close to all our hearts, horror movies. Well, sort of... This one is definitely bedded into the science fiction genre and shares the same graceful and thoughtful approach as Keaton's music. Having him conduct any interview is a rare thing and to have him delve into his music and cinema with me was an absolute treat.  Enjoy 
Scorpion Milk's Mat McNerny joins us today in the second part of our chat to discuss the most clairvoyant of odd movies from the 80s, 'War of the Worlds: Next Century'.
