Bela Lugosi's Shed

This episode is all about new frontiers - we look at our first comic series, and in our Double Feature we're travelling back in time to the new frontier of the American West as we look at two horror westerns. But we've still got the usual horror news, to keep things comfortable, although warning - here there be clowns.   What Fresh Hell Is This?: Infidel (2018), Image Comics, written by Pornsak Picheshote.

When we were deciding what the theme would be for this episode, it was clear that we needed to do something to remember the great work of Rutger Hauer, who died just as we were recording Episode 34. So we looked through his large back catalogue and picked two horror films which he was in that are not as well known as classics like The Hitcher. We also look at an anthology film from 1945 and share some horror news.   One From The Vaults: Dead Of Night (1945) from Archive.org

We hope that you enjoyed the last podcast where we explored the first two Critters films, and inevitably for anything to do with horror, here's the sequel. We look at Critters 3 and 4, the straight to video entries to the franchise, as well as an Easily Available Horror and the latest horror news.   Easily Available Horror: The Girl With All The Gifts (2016) from Netflix

In this episode we do something a little bit different, because change is good even when you're as old and tired as us. So we're spending the next two episodes taking a deep dive into a loved horror franchise - the Critters films. We're also doing all the usual stuff with a classic from the Vaults and juicy horror news.   One From The Vaults: The Skull (1965) from Archive.org

This episode we have dug deep into the mountains of madness that are the works of Nicolas Cage, truly the most bamboozling actor of our times. We look at two of his horror films that cover a perfect microcosm of what you can expect when you stick him in front of a camera. We also pull up an 80s film from the vaults and cover the usual news, including some exciting merch news!   One From The Vaults: The Believers (1987) from Netflix

Welcome back to the Shed after our short break, we hope you enjoyed the bonus episode and that you're champing at the bit for more horror discussions. This episode we head out onto the open seas as we look at nautical-based horror, and cover the usual news and rare offerings. Swab the gore from the decks and join us now!   Easily Available Horror: Black Summer (2019) from Netflix

What's this? What's this? A midweek bonus episode? Indeed it is, because we have been off for a couple of weeks we thought we'd do a bonus episode to sate your hunger for the Shed. We have for you a discussion of a classic H. P Lovecraft short story, which was recorded and edited in one evening in a bit of a rush, so please excuse the slight drop in sound quality.

You know what they say - life begins at 30. This is of course nonsense, but Episode 30 of The Shed brings us some new blood in the form of our first guest host, Doree! We're very pleased to have had her in the Shed and we hope you are too. In this episode we look at two of the highest budget horror films of all times, adapted from two classic novels. We also bring a classic audio horror up from the vaults, and Doree shares her passion for horror in audio format.   One From The Vaults: Lord Dracula (1974) written by Brian Hayles

This episode is zipping down your net connection considerably faster than the virtual worlds we're talking about in our Double Feature, as we're covering two films from the 1990s that show quite how differently we thought about the Internet in those days. We're also breaking the chains of the Easily Available Horror and announcing some changes to the format.   What Fresh Hell Is This?: Hagazussa (2017) on Netflix

In this episode we're devoting pretty much the whole episode to the works of Clive Barker - we're both huge fans of his universes, even if some of the films set in them are a bit pony. We also cover some lots of current horror news and complain grumpily about classic franchises being tied up in legal wrangles throughout, as per usual.   Easily Available Horror: Lord of Illusions (1995) from Netflix.

Did you miss us? Of course not, it's only been a week and you knew we would return, like a masked killer thought to be dead but now throwing a decapitated head through your kitchen window. This episode we're looking at the various film versions of the Matheson classic 'I Am Legend'... except that one. We don't talk about that one. Except we do a bit.    Easily Available Horror: 'Frankenstein' by Mark Grey, showing on Operavision.eu until September.

This is the first in a series of bonus episodes where we'll be looking at short form horror - stories and films that can be consumed quickly and considered at length. This episode we talk about Clive Barker's short story 'In the Hills, The Cities' from his Books of Blood anthology.

In this episode we're talking about funny business - comparing and contrasting a classic horror comedy with a more recent one. Your hosts were not feeling very funny though - this was recorded whilst we were both feeling rough, so please excuse any sniffing and spluttering. With news, the EAH, and a highly vague new segment we're fighting our way though the sickness to get you an hour of quality horror-based fun.   Easily Available Horror: St Agatha (2019) from Netflix.

Are you ready to hit the road? We're looking at two movies (three, if you count the Easily Available Horror) that are about road trips that go horribly wrong. It's pretty bleak, so strap in. We also cover some horror news and a really nice EAH. (This episode's title was written before we found out about the sad loss of The Prodigy's Keith Flint, but it is a nice coincidence - RIP Keith)   Easily Available Horror: The Monster (2016) from Netflix

We're a big fan of Clive Barker here in the shed, and we wanted to talk about some of his work that has made the silver screen that ISN'T Hellraiser, because we're also a big fan of the roads less travelled. So we've got two Barker works under the microscope in our Double Feature, we look at a book for the first time as an Easily Available Horror, and we respectfully disagree about computer games in the News segment.   Easily Available Horror: Kill Creek by Scott Thomas, Inkshares.   Also - We totally neglected to give any links or spell her name, so here's Jordan Reyne's website for more info about her music.

We've braved the cold weather and trudged out to the Shed to bring you this episode in which we talk about what happens when the rush of teenage hormones meets a desire for human blood in our Double Feature, watch a man overcome with greed in the Easily Available Horror, and find out what gay porn and Fright Night have in common.   Easily Available Horror: Tumbbad (2018) from Amazon Prime.

With this episode of the Shed we are revisiting a previous Double Feature theme for the first time. Don't worry though, we're not running out of ideas, it's just that this is such a rich vein and we wanted to approach it a different way - the last time we looked at Creature Features it was some new and unusual ones, this time we're delving smack into the Golden Era of big things that should be small - the 1950s. We also have the usual news and Easily Available Horror, which this episode is a kooky horror character piece.   Easily Available Horror: May (2002), from Shudder.

It's a whole New Year here in the Shed, but your esteemed hosts have only made one resolution - to change NOTHING. We'll still be bringing you the best and brightest of Easily Available Horror, and watching pairs of films ranging from the awesome to the awful in the Double Feature, which this week is about the excesses of the wealthy in horror cinema.   Easily Available Horror: Cam (2018) from Netflix

It's the most wonderful time of the year, so naturally we're both sequestered in the Shed for the foreseeable to prevent our bitter misanthropy ruining everyone else's fun. But to show a bit of Christmas spirit we've gone for some slightly lighter fare in this episode, alongside our usual look at a piece of horror media that is both 'Easily Available' and highly recommended (Suitably for a horror podcast at Christmas, we had some gremlins interfering with our tech and so the sound quality is a bit variable in the second half, but we hope that won't affect your enjoyment).   Easily Available Horror: The Haunting of Hill House (2018) from Netflix.

Very rarely there comes along a piece of horror that affects people so much that they blur the lines between fact and fiction. This episode we look at two such works in our Double Feature, as well as reviewing another great foreign-language horror in the Easily Available segment, and talking very briefly about current horror news.   Easily Available Horror: Train to Busan (2016) from Amazon Prime.
