Hell of Horror

Disciples,The prophecy foretold it… our first ever in-studio guest joins the congregation: the culinary chaos-bringer himself, Chef de Party (@sheff_de_party). Together, we ventured into the greasy, gore-soaked fryer that is Troma’s Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead.What followed was not a feast, but a massacre. Buckets of trauma. Rivers of regret. A cinematic experience so foul, it left Sean, Ash, and Chef all questioning their very devotion to trash cinema.This isn’t just fast food horror — this is a full-blown drive-thru apocalypse.

Brothers and sisters of the Hell of Horror congregation… this week’s sermon comes with claws, fur, and a taste for chaos.Through the guise of an innocent animal quiz, High Priest Sean ensnares poor Ash into a fate worse than death: a forced viewing of Crackcoon (2024) — the latest entry in the “so-bad-it’s-feral” lineage of creature features.Witness Ash’s descent into disbelief as Sean praises the unholy union of trash cinema and killer wildlife, while you, the faithful, are invited to share in the madness.🐾 Quizzes. 🐾 Crack-fuelled raccoons. 🐾 A cult that grows stronger with every bad movie endured.

A journey into nastiness and a night in Sheffield.Disciples,This week we descend into the infamous UK Video Nasties list, beginning with one of its most notorious entries: the 1978 exploitation shocker The Toolbox Murders. Was it art, trash, or just the kind of thing your mum warned you about? (Spoiler: probably all three.)Then — the sermon shifts to Sheffield, where we’re joined by Reel Steel Cinema (@reelsteelcinema): a group dedicated to celebrating cult classics and cinematic oddities. We talk about their mission, their love of horror, and their very special one-off 16mm screening of The Evil Dead at C.A.D.S Sheffield (@cads_sheff) — a grassroots arts charity that’s been fueling creativity since 2009.Chainsaws. Controversy. Community. This episode has it all.Follow. Submit. Stay nasty. @hellofhorrorpodcast | An AMSC Production

This week, Sean puts Ash through a twisted little thought experiment: how exactly are films sold to us, and how much do we buy into the hype? Inspired by his TikTok feed, Sean pitches Megan Is Missing (2011) to Ash—hailed online as “traumatizing” and “hard to watch.” But are those viral TikTok recommendations really to be believed… or is it just clever marketing wrapped in fear?Join us as we break down the psychology of horror hype, internet-fueled movie myths, and whether a film’s reputation can sometimes be scarier than the movie itself.  

Praise be to the Old Gods for we have a special bonus episode for you today. Your leaders Sean and Ash sat down today with two of the brilliant minds behind ReelCult Cinema, which is a community cinema group in Sheffield. Max and Sam kindly shared some of their time to talk to us about what they do here even in Sheffield to bring forgotten cult cinema to the masses. To all our devoted listeners out there please show some love to ReelCult cinema and watch this space as we continue to bring more devotees to our paradise which is Hell Of Horror.  

This week’s descent into cinematic hell starts with a game of hangman so bad it should be banned in most countries. As punishment (or maybe divine justice), Sean drags Ashley into the bizarre world of Suburban Gothic — a 2014 horror-comedy starring Kat Dennings and a man doing his best impression of a haunted wet sock.But here's the twist: Sean — self-proclaimed trash cinema champion — finds this one harder to watch than usual. Even he questions the path. Even he suffers.Ghosts appear. Ashley zones out. Sean reconsiders his life choices. Is it horror? Is it comedy? Is it a cry for help? @hellofhorrorpodcast | An AMSC Production
