Devil Times Five Horror Podcast

As the 100th anniversary of FW Murnau's Nosferatu draws near, the Devils - complete with guest Sallyann Fellowes - look at an array of Dracula movies, from that 1922 classic up to Dario Argento's 2012 version, and figure out which actor played him best. Plus James Wan's new movie Malignant gets reviews, and there's another round of our audio clips quiz, Scary Noises.

A tribute to our former Devil, Phil Jerrod, who tragically died earlier this month. We relive his funniest moments on the show, and hear his thoughts on: Bram Stoker's Dracula, The Cabin in the Woods, The Shape of Water, Stephen King, The Dead Zone, An American Werewolf in London, Saw and The Boxer's Omen. Plus, you'll hear Phil's last ever live performance, with his special horror-themed stand-up routine written exclusively for the podcast's live show at Sweet Werks, Brighton on 30th October 2020.

This month the Devils and guest Joe Wells look at the five Purge movies and a selection of other dystopian, horror-adjacent movies including UK classics Threads and A Clockwork Orange, and the Battle Royale films from Japan. We also review new releases Censor and Don't Breathe 2, remember Crazy Frog (a suitable mascot for any dystopia) and play another game of Scary Noises!

Here they are: the results of our listeners' poll to determine what your favourite and least favourite Friday the 13th sequels are! This month the Devils are joined by comedian Nathan D'Arcy Roberts - who's never encountered Jason Voorhees before! - to run top to bottom down that poll, as it were. Plus, we review new releases Old, A Quiet Place Part 2 and Fear Street, there are more Scary Noises to identify, and Cliff finds out what a centrefold is.

BBC New Comedy Award finalist Hannah Platt joins the Devils to look at a selection of horror films directed by women and featuring female leads, as well as dreaming up yet-to-be-made scary movies such as Comic Sans and The Cursed Stylophone. Classic films covered include Jennifer's Body, Revenge, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Trouble Every Day, Saint Maud, Prevenge and The Babadook, plus we we've got reviews of new releases such as In the Earth, Army of the Dead and Spiral: From the Book of Saw (sort of).

What does 1970s British horror have to do with the Saw movies? Everything, according to Cliff, who's currently obsessed with Jigsaw's antics. The other Devils and their guests (Andrew O'Neill & Megan Aileen Williams) are more into playing 70s TV bingo, with Monty Python, Dad's Army, Doctor Who and others getting a look-in. Plus we discuss a few films too, including new releases Great White, PG: Psycho Goreman and, yes, Spiral: From the Book of Saw.

This month the Devils are joined by comedy superstar Nick Helm to paw through John Carpenter's horror filmography. He's regarded as one of the Masters of US Horror (Carpenter that is, not Helm), but have his films stood the test of time? Plus we look at new releases The Reckoning, Godzilla vs Kong, A Little More Flesh II and Shortcut.

This month we're joined by special FX maestro Dan Martin (also of the Arrow Video Podcast), as we scour our way around the grotty barrel of surprisingly glossy Hong Kong movies known as Cat III Horror. Our features are the legendary The Untold Story and the far less well-known Horrible High Heels, and we look at everything from the wild Story of Ricky and A Chinese Torture Chamber Story to the controversial likes of Human Pork Chop and Red to Kill. The movies might be rough, but as always, we know how to have fun with them!

The Devils are joined by very special guest Robin Ince (from BBC Radio 4's The Infinite Monkey Cage, among many, many other credits), to look at Satanists in 1970s horror. But inevitably, we get sidetracked talking about having sex with snack packaging, what TV presenter Noel Edmonds would get up to in Hell, and daddy issues. Don't worry, we do also discuss The Devil's Rain, Satan's Blood, To the Devil a Daughter, Sinthia: The Devil's Doll, Alucarda, Ring of Darkness and more! Plus there are reviews of new releases Wrong Turn and The Special, and another round of Scary Noises.

Avast! Devil Times Five take to the high seas and encounter mutant piranha, skeletal alligators, man-monsters with gills, and a couple of guys who give a whole new meaning to the phrase "sleeping with the fishes". Cliff, Bryony, Luke & Emily are joined by guest devil Gary Cruise from the Horror. Cult. Trash. Other. podcast (@HorrorCultTrash on Twitter), and we've got reviews of hot new releases Run Hide Fight and Bloody Hell, as well as another game of Scary Noises.

A very merry Christmas episode of the comedy podcast about horror movies, featuring our new member of the team, Elf Lyons, along with Bryony No, Luke Poulton, Emily McQuade and host Cliff Barnes. Movies covered include the original Black Christmas, Better Watch Out, Krampus, P2, Don't Open till Christmas, Christmas Evil, Rare Exports, Stalled and Night Train Murders, we play Scary Noises, and round up the year's best and worst new horror releases... with bells on!

This month we very much F with the C (the C being Chuck, obvs), as we cast our eyes over Child's Play 1, 2 & 3, and Bride, Seed, Curse & Cult of Chucky, and end up fantasising about the franchise crossover we really want to see. Plus - reviews of new releases The Craft: Legacy, Run and His House, and a particularly dramatic game of Scary Noises!

46 episodes in, and we're finally marking Halloween with an episode about movies set at this seasonal time of year. Spooky shorts, demonic possession, pumpkin-headed killers and haunted house attractions gone wrong, they're all here, plus our features are the kiddie horror Goosebumps 2 and the infamous BBC special Ghostwatch. We've also look at new releases including Saint Maud, Possessor, The Haunting of Bly Manor and The Wolf of Snow Hollow, and of course there are more Scary Noises for you to identify!

On this month's show, we compare Eli Roth to various forms of processed chicken, discuss the use of "hospital" as an adjective, and we're joined by a special guest feline with a few things to say about Rob Zombie. Our features are Roth's debut, Cabin Fever, and Zombie's newest, 3 From Hell, our Highs & Lows of the month include new releases Spiral, #Alive and Get Duked!, and you can play along with another round of Scary Noises. For tickets to our live show on Fri 30 Oct in Brighton, please head to https://sweetvenues.com/whats-on/devil-times-five-rides-out(tickets to watch it streamed will be available nearer the time).

In our exploration of modern updates of classic (and not so classic) slasher flicks, we investigate Norman Bates's special wall, low-rent Hollywood actors, the "sexy" couple from the start of the Anthropophagous Beast remake, and balls. Maniac and Child's Play are our headlining features, we review new releases Host, Black Water: Abyss and She Dies Tomorrow, and there's another round of our audio clips quiz, Scary Noises!

This month we reveal the results of our listeners' poll to find the best Arthouse Horror movies ever made, plus we throw in a few additional picks of our own. Plus reviews of new releases including Yummy, Death of a Vlogger and 7500, another round of Scary Noises, and citrus-based laughs.

This month the Devils go out for a nice stake, with a side order of lesbian vampires, including a balanced appraisal of the James Corden vehicle Lesbian Vampire Killers, the 1970s classics Daughters of Darkness, Fascination and The Blood Spattered Bride, and modern takes including Nadja, The Moth Diaries and the brand new (it only premiered two days ago!!!) After Dark aka Vampire Virus. Our Highs & Lows include another new movie seen at the weekend's Sohome Horror Festival - drag scene slasher Killer Unicorn - and of course there's another round of Scary Noises. For next month's episode we'd like to know your Top 5 arthouse horror movies, so please email them to dx5podcast@gmail.com or tweet us @DevilXFive.

This month Cliff, Phil, Emily, Luke & Bryony take in a whopping 20 horror movies based - with varying levels of historical accuracy - on true crimes, and do their best to dissect and analyse them, but don't be surprised if sometimes they go off on some unlikely tangents...! Our features are Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer and Deranged, we've got our horror Highs & Lows of the month (which for some reason include Kindergarten Cop) and there's another round of Scary Noises to play along with at home.

On this month's show we look at Dario Argento's post-Deep Red gialli, and take a deep dive into a sleazy, grubby pool filled with late-period Italian blades n' beauties thrillers. Our two features come from opposite ends of the spectrum: Argento's Tenebre and Al Festa's bizarre Fatal Frames. Plus: our Highs & Lows of the last month include new releases Mercy Black, We Summon the Darkness, Fantasy Island, Why Don't You Just Die? and Corona Zombies. And there's another round of our clips quiz, Scary Noises. For our weekly Facebook Live quiz, visit https://facebook.com/devilxfive/events
