EPISODE 35: THE EVIL OF FRANKENSTEIN & PSYCHOMANIA

It's been a long time, folks. Good to be back. Episode 35 is here.

First off, we would like to thank you all personally for your genuine concern for our well-being. The well wishes you sent were gratefully received. Thank you very much.

We finally get around to reviewing our picks for 34 and read some emails that had an inch of virtual dust on top of them. We discuss quite a load of horror films from all over the genre and then move on to talk about final voting for the 3rd annual Slimy Limey Awards (psssst...you can see the poll over to the right of this post). Voting on the blog will end on midnight on 11/27, so don't doddle!

For episode 37 (no homework for ep.36 because of the awards) Jim picked The Reptile (1966) and Ryan picked the filthy Raw Meat from 1972.

Wellington.

REST IN PEACE, LEATHERFACE

EPISODE 34: HORROR HOSPITAL & LEGEND OF THE WEREWOLF.

The unofficial results are in: Legend of the Werewolf won. That's how it's looking anyway. Only 2 of our 6 listeners voted, but they pull a lot of weight.

We were really quite organized for this episode, but for some reason it just didn't go as well as planned. Maybe it was our new PC. Maybe it was a lack of sleep or possibly an excess of weight. We may never really know the reason, but we promise that you will enjoy the episode as much as usual.

We did not record a Macabre Minute for this episode. We used the time to list the films for the 3rd annual Slimy Limeys. Can you believe it's that time again? Wow. We've been doing this for almost 3 years. That means we've gained 1 listener a year! Hooray! All joking aside, it is quality that counts and all of the listeners in our humble community contribute every month. I wouldn't give our listeners up for 1 million listeners that never write in. That's the truth!

Please listen to Episode 34  to hear the rules for preliminary Slimy Limey voting. In the next couple of days, Jim will post all of the films up on this very blog so you can vote one winner to the loser column and one loser to the winner column.

In the meantime, you need to do your homework:

Ryan's choice for episode 35 is The Evil of Frankenstein (1964)

Jim's pick-Psychomania (1973)

Also known as The Death Wheelers

Until next time-

WELLINGTON! BORK! 

UH-OH...

Friends,

We have a tie!

We need to know which film you like more out of Horror Hospital and Legend of the Werewolf. We tried to get a hold of our tie-breaker (The Librarian), but he was so coked out of his mind that he couldn't figure out how to answer his phone. We still haven't heard from him concerning the issue because of his incarceration after killing that prostitute and lighting his 1982 Ford Ranger ablaze with her body in the back. We all have hobbies, please try not to judge. He's usually a bit more organized.

Anyway, in the comments below, please let us know which film you enjoyed more--Horror Hospital or Legend of the Werewolf.

Please leave your vote in the comments section below.

EPISODE 33: SCHIZO & THE CREEPING FLESH

It's been a fun-filled summer full of road trips, the local amusement parks and a few horror movies here and there. Now it's about time to send the kiddies back to school and pray that this awful heat subsides. Halloween is right around the corner and we're getting ready for the third annual Slimy Limey awards. My, My, time does fly. That means we've been at this for nearly 3 years and we haven't even scratched the surface of what British horror has to offer.

In this episode, we discuss our love for Sir Christopher Lee, our disdain for people who thrive on real life tragedy, and we even talk about some horror films we've watched. Tune in and dig the pod, kids!

Our picks for next time:

Jim-Horror Hospital (or Computer Killers) (1973)

This could be Jim's favorite movie poster of all time!

Ryan's pick-Legend of the Werewolf (1975) 

This one is really awesome too!

Wellington and Bork!

EPISODE 32: VAULT OF HORROR/WIGFINDER GENERAL & A GREAT LOSS

I sat down this morning to update our blog and post the link to episode 32 when I decided to change this a bit and talk about the passing of one of our most beloved and favorite actors, Sir Christopher Lee.

I found out about his passing from Ryan, who sent me a text when he read the news. It's a real downer to know that Lee is no longer around, but he lived a very incredible life to a  wonderful age. He was a hell of a lot of fun to read about, to watch on screen and to listen to. The Dos Equis guy couldn't hold a candle to Lee. I really don't have much to say about his character acting and whatnot-- I'll leave that to pretentious Californians on Twitter--what I will say is that watching Christopher Lee brought me to love horror films (actually movies in general) a lot more and he genuinely brought a bit more joy to my life through his entertaining. A true British gentleman and a great talent.

1922-2015
