They’re heeere….. Emotive, grandiose and thoroughly haunting, Steven Spielberg and Tobe Hooper's phenomenal paranormal picture transcends this mortal plane in terms of strategic storytelling and iconic imagery. Despite controversies regarding creative control and purportedly carrying a curse, the film has gone on to become a cult classic, inspiring generations of cinemagoers while setting the benchmark for haunted house thrillers. Sue looks at the spooky suburban shocker, chatting angelic ankle biters, pint-sized psychics and, dare I even say it, clowns. *Shudder* We’ll also be checking out the fantastic track God Sent Rain (You Sent Blood &amp; Piss) from Sludge metal duo St Fenton The Tainted. So open your mind, beware The Beast and stay away from the light. Clear your mind, it knows what scares you and it knows too much already...

Do you like basghetti? &nbsp; Sinking fangs into vampiric myth with a wry smile, 2014’s What We Do In The Shadows proved that when it came to supernatural swagger, bloodsuckers still had teeth. Sharp, satirical and uproariously silly, it subverted preconceived conventions whilst honouring legend and tradition. &nbsp; Sue chats the dead but delicious quintet at the centre of the tale, bemoaning the chore wheel, dancing with demons and championing stylistic storytelling and visual panache. &nbsp; We'll also be checking out Lovecraftian track At the Mountains of Madness from the awesome Crimson Day. &nbsp; So, get ready for the biggest night of the supernatural calendar, but beware The Beast *ominous music*, as we don our best duds to do things vampire style.   And mind your manners. We're werewolves NOT swearwolves!* &nbsp; &nbsp; *At no point does Sue EVER mention Rhys Darby by name, even though he's one of the movies highlights. I know, it's a moral outrage! But don't worry, for she has been forever banished - to the CIRCLE OF SHAME!!!

Episode 50 is here! Sue celebrates the big 5-0 with a look back at some of the horrors we’ve paid homage to throughout the show. Along the way we’ll kick back with the coolest coven from the 90’s, battle baddies with Buffy, look at lupines and Lost Boys, and turn on the juice to see what shakes loose with the Ghost with the Most himself! &nbsp; We’ll also be checking out the latest single Hidden Garden, from Japanese doom duo Blacklab. &nbsp; So come, as we close the coffin door on Heavy Metal Horror Cast for the final time. But bare in mind that, like all true horrors, the end is merely the beginning…
