Back by absolutely no demand it’s a Welcome To Everyone bonus episode for Halloween!
In a world filled with divisions, it’s time to find common ground, and for a few generations, that’s quoting The Simpsons.
The Not For Everyone Podcast’s Snobby Bobby and Crude Rude Dude team up with Welcome To Horror’s Chris, Lee and Adam to put together their ultimate list of The Simpson’s Treehouse of Horror segments. 
You didn’t ask for it, and we delivered.
A Halloween gift from the “Welcome To Everyone” team, we hope you enjoy.

Welcome To Horror

Welcome to Everyone - Tree house of Horror

Christmas is a time for dark stories, over indulgence and variety packs of treats. Thus, we present this December, our “Inside No.9 Christmas Selection Box”.
This episode we focus on “The Riddle of the Sphinx”, where we discover what’s long and hard and full of seamen.
Then we turn our attentions to “The Stakeout” where we learn just how much piss you can get into an empty Pringles Tube.

Ep 158 Inside No.9 pt 1

Having gorged ourselves on the first layer, it’s time to move to the next plastic tray in our “Inside No.9 Christmas Selection Box”. (Will this increasingly stretched metaphor hold up to the strain for next week? Only time will tell.).
First we’re looking at time “Séance Time”, where carefully curated terror can be erased by dog shit on the shoe; and “Mr King”, which gives us a lovely serving suggestion for tadpoles.

Ep 159 Inside No.9 Pt 2

And we open the “Inside No.9 Christmas Selection Box” one last time, but unlike a normal selection box, we’re not left with a few toffee pennies and that horrible coconut one. No, we’ve got a hazelnut whirl and a caramel barrel! (SNAP! There goes that metaphor.)
First off we have season 1’s horror foray “The Harrowing”, where we learn what  rhymes with “Moloch”.
And then we finish with “The Devil of Christmas”, an outstanding evocation of television of yore, with a mention of eating an onion as if ‘twere an apple.

Bonus Episode - Chatting With Tony Wash

It’s another cheeky bonus episode from Welcome To Horror!
Horror-On-Sea Film Festival celebrated its 10th anniversary this year, and we were lucky enough to attend 2 of it’s 6 day run.
Here the team talk about what they watched in a (hopefully) spoiler free way that should give you a flavour of these films coming your way soon.
FEATURES DISCUSSED: “The Haunting of the Lady Jane”, “End of Term”, “Eating Miss Campbell”, “The Last Twitch” and “Powertool Cheerleaders Vs The Boy Band of the Screeching Dead”.
SHORTS DISCUSSED: “Behind You”, “Gone”, “Malevolent”, “Karen’s Room”, “Room 4”, “Toffee Apples” and “Beep Beep”.
A massive congratulations to the Horror-On-Sea team for their continued success, and, as always, fantastic atmosphere. Roll on next year!

Horror on Sea 2023

It’s Troma time! Yes folks, we’re finally introducing Chris to the unique world of Lloyd Kaufman as we kick off with “Class of Nuke ‘Em High”.
A film which highlights the usual struggles of American youth: being peer pressured into smoking (radioactive) weed; teenage pregnancy (that results in a giant mutated beast prowling the hallways); the inability to pronounce “cretin” properly; and nuclear power plant bosses who don’t give a wet fart about public safety.
A fine example of the good-naturedly offensive Troma style; with B-movie bizarreness, surprisingly good gore effects and tongue firmly in cheek.
Watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoilers, and join us.

Ep 165 Class of Nuke 'Em High

It’s sequel time, as we present “Least Haunted 2: Electric Loup-Garou”.
It’s another glimpse into all things weird and spooky with three judgemental pricks.
We have a strange tale from a listener (big thanks Joe!); to shoehorn in our incredible episode title, Adam recounts his childhood fascination and dread of the Southend Werewolf; and Lee explains why he could believe Richard Herring is breaking into his house to steal wineglasses.
We enjoy these chats so much we’ll probably do some more, so please send in your own real-life unusual occurrences [either DM on Instagram or send to Info@welcometohorror.com].
WE’RE READY TO DISBELIEVE YOU.
No prep needed on this, just tune in and join us.

Ep 176 Least Haunted 2: Electric Loup-Garou

It’s Lady Jennifer’s birthday request; and we’re joined by previous guest Dani for “The Red Shoes” (1948).
A dazzlingly beautiful film in which we learn that if a prominent figure in the arts ISN’T a plagiarist, they’re a full blown psychopath; that horse drawn shag wagons were commonplace on the continent in the 40s; and that the show must go on, even if the star has got a train on her head.
Whilst the genuine terror for Lee is the mere concept of ballet; is “The Red Shoes” really horror? Probably not, but with some phantasmagoric imagery, a basis in a truly horrific fairy tale, and the main character’s disturbing mental breakdown, it certainly visits the ballpark.
Watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoilers and join us.

Ep 177 The Red Shoes

Last episode we watched “The Red Shoes”, considered by many to be the masterpiece of directors Powell and Pressburger, by contrast we now turn to the film that practically ended Michael Powell’s career, as we discuss 1960’s “Peeping Tom”.
A film in which we learn that a surprise lizard is an excellent substitute for a child’s alarm clock; that even a policeman involved in a serious investigation can become a slave to hot jazz rhythms; and that sometimes cold blooded murder is the only way to stop someone dancing around like a tit.
A British counterpart to Hitchcock’s “Psycho” from the same year, “Peeping Tom” was released to near universal condemnation, for both its serial killer plot and portrayal of the seedy underbelly of ‘respectable’ England. It gradually experienced a renaissance; becoming an acknowledged early prototype of the slasher film, as well as taking its rightful place alongside the other jewels in Michael Powell’s crown.

Ep 178 Peeping Tom

Welcome To Horror Presents: “We Have Been Watching Must Be Destroyed”.
It’s another of our regular round ups of what the team having been shoving into their brain-faces.
This time we discuss “Last Night In Soho”;“The Quatermass Experiment at 70”, The “Fear Street” trilogy; “The Babadook”; “47 Ronin”; “On The Silver Globe”; and “Final Destination”.
With shout outs to Joe Watson, Nicholas Tomnay, Leadbelt Art and Doomshire Tapes.
No prep needed, bur listeners beware, as here be (possible) spoilers and (definite) swearing.

Ep 179 We Have Been Watching Must Be Destroyed

In space, no one can hear Lee complain, but we’re back on Earth, so get ready to hear our discussion on Ridley Scott’s “Alien”.
A film in which John Hurt rehearses his guest appearance in “Spaceballs”; Tom Skerritt gives a masterclass in poor management (we’ve all worked for a useless prick); and Ian Holm performs cinema’s first self-bukkake.
A fantastic, darkly epic film that perfectly straddles science fiction and horror, perhaps its greatest achievement is the thoroughly believable world (or worlds) it builds, allowing both its cast and the viewer to immerse themselves completely. Our discussion touches upon the sequels, which, whilst gradually conforming to the franchise fatigue of diminishing returns, having such a rich starting mythology to build upon, all throw up some real points of interest (particularly those films that continue Ripley’s story).
Our conversation also encompasses the film’s creative origins in Alejandro Jodorowsky’s (tragically) aborted attempt to bring “Dune” to the silver screen.
Watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoilers and join us.

Ep 180 Alien

Go suck a fuck, it’s our episode on “Donnie Darko” (spoilers AND swearing).
A film in which we learn the incorrect place to store a Lifeline exercise card; that there’s nothing more beautiful than Drew Barrymore’s cellar door; and that it’s not just Patrick Swayze’s dancing that’s dirty.
This brilliantly cast, Halloween-set fantasy stalled at the US box office, did much better when released in the UK a year later; then DVD and word of mouth cemented it as a modern classic. Audiences may have been left scratching their heads, but most came away with a love of this intelligent and complex film, and that felt like a magnificent fuck you to a film industry convinced cinema goers need a steady diet of lowest common denominator crap.
A subsequent “Director’s Cut” made the mechanics of the film’s take on time travel much more explicit, whilst also adding some unnecessary padding, but this film transcends its hard sci-fi premise, and can be viewed in the logic of dream or fantasy, always making narrative and emotional sense to the attentive viewer.
Watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoilers and join us.

Ep 181 Donnie Darko

Welcome To Horror Presents: “The Horror of We Have Been Watching”.
Yes, gentle listener, it’s the usual round up of extracurricular viewing by the WTH team.
This time around we talk about “Ex Machina”; “The Haunted Mansion” (2023);  “Messiah of Evil”; “Children of the Stones”; “Talk to Me”; “Psychoville”; new series “The Fall of the House of Usher” and the book launch for “The Astral Geographic” by Andy Sharp of English Heretic.
No prep needed, but listeners beware, as here be (possible) spoilers and (definite) swearing.
Join us!

Ep 182 We have been watching

In space, no one can hear you jump the shark. We turn our attention to a couple of horror franchises that looked to stars for (questionable?) inspiration. First off is 2002’s “Jason X” - a film in which we learn that you’d better enjoy the current season of Ice Hockey as it’s getting banned next year; that those newfangled magnetic nipples are not all they’re cracked up to be; and that David Cronenberg likes them soft.
The tenth instalment in the Friday the 13th series sees a complete departure in location, but retains the essential core of a group of extremely stupid and annoying people getting killed in elaborate ways. Whilst this film divided fans, with many considering it the worst of the series, it does at least seem to have been made with a view to rejuvenating a flagging premise, with a tongue-in-cheek attitude, and an awareness of just how ridiculous it all is. 
Watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoilers and join us.

Ep 183 Jason X

It’s the second film of our “In Space, No One Can Hear You Jump The Shark” double bill, and for those of you who thought “Jason X” was bad; we present “Leprechaun 4: In Space”.
A film in which Lieutenant Gruber turns from Davros into a giant spider (no doubt preventing him from fitting into his little tank); Heidi from “Tool Time” literally makes a man’s penis explode; and Warwick Davis finally gets his own Lightsaber.
The fourth entry into the “Leprechaun” franchise jets off into outer space but, ironically, mostly fails to land. With an uneven tone, and not all cast and crew apparently in on the joke; this veers from mild amusement to mild bemusement. With primitive CGI disowned by the director, and some surprisingly good make up, this is a movie that will only improve depending on your level of inebriation, and the good company you view it with.
Watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoilers and join us.

Ep 184 Leprechaun 4 in Sapce

It’s nearly Christmas; so we’re bringing you some ‘Silent Nights’ - first up is 1922’s beautifully sinister “Nosferatu - A Symphony of Horror”.
A film in which we learn the very worst way to cut a slice of bread; that nothing looks more confused than a striped hyena in a German forest; and that when your manager finishes every sentence with an insane cackle, it’s probably time to check out your other employment options.
This silent occult masterpiece still manages to feel more modern and pacy than a lot of the talkies that followed over the next few decades, and it’s imagery remains burned into the collective unconscious. The first feature-length adaptation of “Dracula”, it offers enough variation from its source material to become a story in its own right - with the spectre of plague and contagion married to the concept of the vampire in a way that chills in the light of our own recent history. It’s Count Orlok is far removed from the suave romantic figure screen Dracula would become; instead being a near folkloric creature from the other side of the forest, and all the more disturbing for it.
Watch (or re-watch) to avoid 101 year-old spoilers and join us.

Ep 185 Nosferatu

And so we conclude our festive season of ‘Silent Nights’ by going back even further, for the magnificent “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari”.
A film in which we witness possibly the worst interior design for a psychiatric hospital; the best (and only correct) response to petty local bureaucracy and we all empathise with a man who sleeps for 23 years and still wakes up knackered.
If the point of German Expressionism was to emphasise and represent the internal emotional state over a depiction of actual reality - “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari” is an absolute blueprint of how to do it. A triumph of ingenuity and flair over budgetary restrictions, “… Caligari” creates its own complete world that immerses the audience. However, this is not mere style over substance, with a convoluted plot featuring many a twist, making for a film that feels fresher and more modern than a lot of what would come after it. A perennial influence to this day, from Tim Burton to Rob Zombie and the Laika animation studio, this unique film may have its homages and imitators; but the original is never diminished, retaining its power over a century later.
Watch (or re-watch) to avoid 103 year-old spoilers and join us.

Ep 186 The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari

And we’re back like a vertebrae! Two worlds collide and we present “Welcome To Everyone: We Three Kings”.
The Not For Everyone and Welcome To Horror podcasts have teamed up again for what the cool kids are definitely still calling the most ambitious crossover event in history.
It’s Christmas; so we bring you “We Three Kings”- where we each choose our top 3 Stephen King adaptations. Between double-thinking each other’s lists and a few participants wilfully ignoring the assignment, this is a truly eclectic selection of the King on screen.
A Christmas present from the people who brought you the unique podcast idea of squabbling man children talking about films.
Enjoy.

WTE - We Three Kings

It’s the new year, so it’s time get some fresh air and take a rejuvenating break in our Countrycide season.
First up is 2008’s “The Cottage”, a film in which Pinhead has joined the local neighbourhood watch; Gollum proves to be related to a large number of the inhabitants of Royston Vasey; and Spudgun is a pain in the arse who fucks up everything he touches.
The surprise follow up to director Paul Andrew Williams’ gritty debut “London To Brighton”, “The Cottage” came out during that brief flowering of British comedy horror that followed in the wake of “Shaun of the Dead”, and, like a lot of films from that period, appears to have been unjustly forgotten. It starts up as hilarious crime caper with a small group of well realised and brilliantly portrayed characters, only to perform a mid-point rug pull as that story suddenly crashes headlong into a slasher film.
Watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoilers and join us.

Ep 187 The Cottage

It’s the next film in our Countycide season, and today we go down to the woods for a big surprise, with 2006’s “Severance”, from director Christopher Smith.
A film in which the arrival of a gang of brutal, sadistic murderers relieves the true horror of an office team-building weekend;  Lord Percy steps in something rather nasty; and Danny Dyer provides niche observational humour for all the ‘shroom heads in the audience.
Another under appreciated film from the man who brought us high-seas time twister “Triangle”, “Severance”, despite its once ubiquity in secondhand shop DVD racks, seems to have also fallen out of sight, which is a real shame. It has a strong cast portraying believable, genuinely funny, characters (whether the character knows it or not) evoking perfectly that mismatch of work colleagues thrown together outside of office hours. With a genuinely nasty streak and scenes of gore and murder that would be much more gruelling in a straight narrative, and a lovely playful mixing of perspectives; this film should be rightly remembered and embraced by more fans of the fusion of comedy and horror.
Watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoilers and join us.

Ep 188 Severance

We present a spoiler free look at “The Group”, the debut feature of director William Higo.
A group meeting for (mostly) recovering addicts is suddenly hijacked by an unknown man, who conducts his own brutal group therapy session, down the barrel of a gun.
Secrets are exposed, truths confronted and loyalties are torn and formed as the situation reaches boiling point.
A taut thriller set in one location, this film is so much more assuredly cinematic than those restrictions may suggest, and it succeeds in being a tense and intriguing ride. The small cast work wonders with a smart and unflinching script, holding the viewer in their seat for the film’s duration.
A big thank you to Will Higo for reaching out to us (via longtime friend of the show Tony Wash) and allowing us to view this excellent thriller.
Having wowed at festivals, “The Group” is available in the US, and coming soon in the UK, and we urge you to seek it out!

Welcome To Horror Episode 192 is a round up of our visit to this year’s Romford Horror Film Festival.
We had an excellent time on our first visit to the festival.
We got to see two amazing features - “The Pocket Film of Superstitions” and “How To Kill Monsters”, (which went on to win several awards at the festival, including best director and best actress).
We give spoiler-free reviews of these features, as well as the shorts “Collection Only” and “Kin”, and talk about the festival as a whole, and some of the lovely people we met there; such as author, actor and podcaster Lauren Jane Barnett, director Tony Mardon and actor Ross Sambridge.

Bonus Episode - Caretaker with James Hood

As a follow up to our Christmas Crossover with our Kurt Army Cousins, The Not For Everyone Podcast, we decided to take a look at two of the Stephen King adaptations that were mentioned, but unseen by us.
First up is George A Romero’s “The Dark Half”; a film in which we learn that pure, undiluted evil must be dressed like Tom Waits; that Henry (Portrait of a Serial Killer) has even less idea of the law when on the other side of a police badge; and that Eleanor Lance escaped from Hill House to become pipe smoker of the year (1993).
A faithful adaptation of King’s take on his own outing as the author Richard Bachman, this is a superior slice of 90s horror, reuniting King with Romero, with a superb cast backed up by incredible practical and visual effects that still hold up today.
Watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoilers and join us

Ep 194 The Dark Half

In the second half of our Not For Everyone Podcast recommendations, we’re watching another Stephen King adaptation - 2003’s “Dreamcatcher”.
A film in which Morgan Freeman’s eyebrows are designed to stop pigeons nesting; Damian Lewis auditions to play the Joker as Hugh Laurie; and Jason Lee just needs to leave those fucking toothpicks where they are!
For a film about killer worms that burrow into your arse; “Dreamcatcher” has a remarkably glossy and expensive look, with a cast of big names. Written by King whilst high on painkillers, the story has a lot of similarities with his classic “It”, even down to its fictional location. Somehow though, the film manages to either take itself too seriously or not seriously enough, and may have been improved for amping up the (toilet) humour of the premise.
Watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoilers and join us.

Ep 195 Dreamcatcher

Welcome To Horror Presents: “The Adventures of We Have Been Watching”.
Once again it’s time for the team to spurt forth with their brain translators to inform you of their extra curricular eye feasting.
Items explored include “Twin Peaks - Fire Walk With Me”; Rod Serling’s “The Night Gallery”; Glenn Danzig’s “Death Rider in the House of Vampires”; Cecelia Condit’s creepily surreal short “Possibly in Michigan”; 2018 British Horror Comedy “Book of Monsters”; and Shudder’s “The 101 Scariest Horror Movie Moments of All Time”.

Ep 196 The adventures of we have been watching

Wow. No one, least of all us, thought we’d get to 100 Episodes. To mark this milestone; we return, in a way, to our very first episode (where we watched Hammer Films’ 2012 adaptation) and sit down in front of the 1989 TV Movie of “The Woman In Black”. A film in which Harry Potter’s dad commits arson; a foetal Andy Nyman enthuses over Charlie Chaplin’s eating disorder; and a dog becomes very excited by the scent of trouser sausage.
Along the way we discuss “Deathgasm”, “The Mandalorian” and (for some fucked up reason) Agatha Christie.
