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 as a little taster to the massive 1940s episodes which go live here on April 1st we are dropping this single film focused episode here today in celebration of a fantastic new record. You see, Albert Lewin directed Pandora and the Flying Dutchman in 1951 and The Moon and Sixpence in 1941 but The Picture of Dorian Gray is easily his best known work, sadly, he is not known for a lot else. So When I asked musician Charles Moothart from Fuzz to pick a movie to cover for this show, imagine my delight when he came back with Dorian Gray as his choice. This is a discussion about his new solo record and the Angela Lansbury starring 40s horror movie The Picture of Dorian Gray. Seriously. What a belter!Charles Moothart / Fuzz
Special guest, Charles Cave, the horror loving bass player from UK indie rockers White Lies speaks with us today about the 1988 underseen classic The Vanishing. Plus we get into his introduction to horror movies, hearing his music being played in films & just why the band's song titles are so upsetting!WHITE LIES Charles Cave instagram Spotify

Today I chat with Steve Hackett, the legendary guitarist from Genesis about the Francis Ford Coppola directed masterpiece, Bram Stoker's Dracula.  Steve is now 30 albums deep into an incredible solo career which this week has seen the release of his latest opus, a rite of passage concept stunner entitled 'The Circus And The Nightwhale'. This episode is a cracker. Enjoy!STEVE HACKET 'The Circus And The Nightwhale'Lauren Jane Barnett
I think Eye of the Devil is an undercard for 1966In the USA you had William Shatner starring in 'Incubus' and John Saxon And Dennis Hopper in 'Queen of Blood'In Spain you had Jess Franco’s 'The Diabolical Dr Z'In Italy Mario Bava put out 'Kill, Baby Kill'In Japan 'Daimajin' was released as well as 'Irazumi'And in the UK you had Hammer Horror’s 'Plague of the Zombies', "The Witches' and 'Dracula Prince of Darkness'All I think stronger titles than 'Eye of the Devil'But there is no denying there is something magical about it. I just can't put my finger on it.J. Lee Thompson directed Cape Fear in 1962, Happy Birthday to Me in 1981 plus a couple of Planet of the Apes movies as part of his genre sweep during his career. Eye of the Devil is often overlooked which is a real shame. When I asked the fantastic satanic doo-woppers TWIN TEMPLE to pick a movie to cover for this show, imagine my delight when they came back with that very choice. YES! Today we are joined by singer Alexandra Jones and her guitarist husband Zach. That's right! It's the time of the Temple. Right here, right now.TWIN TEMPLE Spotify Instagram Facebook
