A brief trailer for our new horror based podcast exploring everything horror!

If you go down in the woods today, you're sure of a big surprise
If you go down in the woods today, you'd better go in disguise
For every bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain because
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic

We can assure you, this film ain't no teddy bear's picnic!

Join us as we have a chinwag with Pooh himself, Craig David Dowsett, before we delve in to the movie and ponder just who would win in a bear battle royale!

Come take a trip with us as we ramble on about the much loved horror comedy, The Cabin in the Woods.

Something a little different this week, this is a bonus episode!

Come enjoy the carnage as we chat about Spawn from 1997.

Yes this isn't strictly horror, but it is horror adjacent and damn good fun!

Thanks for listening Maniacs, we hope you enjoy the show!

We are chest bursting back with our new episode all about Alien Resurrection! Is it really as bad as some people say, or is it a bit underrated? Have your face hugged as you listen to our views about this 1997 sci fi horror, and so much more.

Take a listen & let us know your thoughts!

We are very sorry to say that had some slight mic issues during the recording of this episode that appears to have created an echo in places. We hope this doesn't effect your enjoyment too much and we promise to have it resolved one way or another by our next episode. Thank you for your understanding.

This time around we take another trip in to space to discuss the much overlooked 2009 sci fi horror, Pandorum.

We also take some time to answer listeners questions too.

In this episode we are discussing a British horror film from 2005, one that made people scared to go cave diving...

That's right, you guessed it, we are deep diving in to The Descent (well not a deep dive actually, we just wanted a silly cave pun in there, haha, sorry).

Enjoy!

We have recorded another podcast episode.

Have we really though? Or did we dream it all? Maybe we went to Rekall and asked for a package where we get to be podcasters for 2 weeks? Maybe we are actually podcasters? Maybe we are having a Schizoid Embolism? Who knows!

Help us figure this out be giving this episode a listen!

Grab your tent, sleeping bag & thermals and come join us on our trip to Sweden as we dissect 2017's The Ritual.

In a remote village in East Sussex, where the scariest thing is usually a lukewarm cuppa, two horror movie maniacs, Ben and Grant, stumble upon When Evil Lurks, a film about a demon-infected bloke about to give birth to evil itself. Armed with humour, and absolutely no spiritual protection, our hosts slice through this Argentinian nightmare, dissecting everything from gut-churning body horror to the kind of plot twists that make you rethink visiting small towns. Whether you’re a die-hard horror fan or just wondering if your neighbours’ rotting kids is something to worry about, tune in—if you dare!

Roses are red,

Violets are blue,

We have a new episode,

and its just for you!

Happy Valentine's Day Maniacs!

Join us as we conclude our time in Silent Hill by chatting with movement creator/coordinator, actor and all round nice guy, Roberto Campanella, who you may know as Red Pyramid in Silent Hill (2006) & Silent Hill: Revelation (2012).

"In my restless dreams, I see that town. Silent Hill. You promised me you'd take me there again someday. But you never did"

Step back in to the fog with us as we explore the town of Silent Hill once again, this time with our friend, and fellow content creator Sam Lee, who has recently begun his journey in to everything Silent Hill.

Do we think the film is as bad as all of the negative reviews say? Can we find some positives in the fog? Does Grant explode with excitement?
