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

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'. Mat's latest album is called 'Slime of the Times' and I can not stop listening to it. So why not ask him to come onto a show about horror movies and combine my two passions. DOUBLE BOOM!

It's time for one of those huge episodes. Well, it's a two parter anyways. 1961 was not the most ground breaking year for horror movies, well, as far as the big hitter films are concerned anyways. The highs are really high & the lows are few & far between. But, what do I think was the very greatest horror movie that came out during 1961? Well, here we have the top 3. A slew of also rans. Some special guests. Several pints of beer and over 2 hours of running time split over 2 episodes.
