Whether you're a seasoned horror fan or a newcomer to the world of fright, Fraser and Euan offer unique insights and commentary that will keep you engaged and entertained. With a deep knowledge of horror history and a shared love of the macabre, these brothers bring their own unique perspectives to each film they review. So grab some popcorn, turn down the lights, and get ready for a spine-tingling experience as The Happy Brothers take you on a journey through the dark and twisted world of horror cinema.

Out of the city and into the suburbs - that's where all the creepy stuff happens. We're looking at 2 films primarily set in what should be idyllic neighbourhoods, but which also have a dark underbelly. The Stepford Wives is a classic, unsettling look at feminism and the horrors of the patriarchy. And Summer of '84 takes advantage of the Stranger Things hype and gives us a teenage murder mystery set back when there were no mobile phones and at least 1 treehouse to every child.

Ding ding - we're checking in. And what's this? Oh, it's a spooky hotel. Nothing worse than pulling up to your bed for the night and finding it's actually home to a witch looking for sacrifices. Except maybe being buried neck-deep in soil and having your meat harvested for sale... Horror Hotel and Motel Hell are our picks this week, and hoo boy I don't think I'll be checking in to anywhere other than a Premier Inn for a while.

Reboots, Remakes, Requels - whatever you want to call them - they're divisive. And this week's picks are no different. We talk about 2012's The Wolfman, weighing it up against Lon Cheney Jr's spectacular Universal flick. Followed by Flatliners, a remake of a film we have already covered - so you can hear some proper callbacks of how it compares.

It's another spooky staple this week - Cemeteries! (not graveyards and yes, there is a difference) Up first, we have another Giallo with Lucio Fulci's House by the Cemetery, and following it with the slightly(!) more comedic Cemetery Man. Zombies, graves, and plenty of gore. What more could you ask for?

Ring ring - who is it? It's ya boys, back with another horror movie double bill. This week, we're taking a look at one of the oldest horror movie tropes - the dreaded phone call. Murder by Phone takes this all too literally in an 80s B-Movie with one of the more ridiculous premises we've covered. Then we follow it up with One Missed Call, a J-Horror classic that may not be perfect, but runs absolute circles around it's Western remake.

It's Oscar season baybee!! Or at least it was when we recorded this... Couple of out and out bangers to talk about this week. Jaws certainly makes a splash, but how do we feel it compares to peak sci-fi horror with Alien? Oh, it's a good 'un, and do we possibly hit our first full-mark episode? Enjoy!

We're going back in time! That's right, this week, we're taking a look at a couple of "real life" historical horrors. The Town That Dreaded Sundown is *supposedly* based on a real story, but that doesn't stop it being a real piece of poo-poo. And in Brotherhood of the Wolf, we're going even further back to 17th century France for some lupine goodness with the Iron Chef himself. From trombones to kung-fu fights, there's lots of weirdness to discuss this week. Send us a text Support the s...
Get your flashing cameras and autograph books out, we're chasing celebrities today! In a case of celebrity stalking gone horribly wrong, Opera delivers us another Argento banger. Will it dethrone Deep Red as our favourite? And next up is Smile 2, one of Fraser's favourites from 2024. But does Euan see the vision, or write it off as more modern-horror guff? Why not listen and find out? Send us a text Support the show Make sure to follow us on other platforms to keep up to date with the Podcast...
Ohhhh boy, we're back again. After a bit of a hiatus, we've returned from the depths to chuck our 2 cents in on some more spooky flicks. This week, it's back to another 'sequel' theme with more Best Sountracks! We've got some old bangers from the goat John Carpenter with Halloween 3, and then we follow it up with some ambient synths in Annihilation. Glad to be back. Glad to be talking more spooky music. Hope you enjoy, folks! Send us a text Support the show Make sure to follow us on oth...
We're back! New Year, new us. And in true Happy Brothers fashion, we're sticking with the 2024 trend and uploading this episode a month late... We're kicking off the new year with a couple of horror films around Renewal, Rebirth.... Frankenstein. We're doing Frankenstein.

Oh boy, it's Bergman. Is Euan going to regret his choice? Very possibly. But at least we've got Fraser's pick, Legend of Hell House, to tide us over. It's written by Richard Matheson, is that enough to save it? Maybe!

It's still October (a rare month for boys), and that means that we're continuing our month long Halloween Spook-tacular. This week we're discussing another classic staple of the Halloween Experience, the Carnival! Euan's gone for a classic, as always, in Carnival of Souls, a very spooky and atmospheric film And Fraser's chosen the Disney adaptation of Ray Bradbury's "Something Wicked This Way Comes", which is equally spooky and atmospheric!
