Surgeons Of Horror Podcast

If you’re looking for a gritty, edge of your seat drama, then the Australian crime thriller, Hounds of Love could be your perfect remedy.With a great cast in Emma Booth, Stephen Curry, and Ashleigh Cummings, helmed by the brilliant writer, director, Ben Young, Hounds of Love follows the abduction of Vicky by serial killer couple Evelyn and John White.It’s gripping stuff and I was fortunate enough to catch up with Melissa Kelly producer of the film to discuss the impact that Hounds of Love is currently having in the movie industry.

Following on from our Rings franchise discussion, lead host Paul Farrell performs a short post op on the latest in the series, Rings.It's been 13 years since Samara last graced the screen. Was her presence needed? Will Samara threaten the screens again? Time to dissect and find out.

Back in 1998, a little known horror film based on the novels by Koji Suzuki would ignite a new wave for for the genre known today as J-horror after its Japanese influence.That film was called Ringu and gave birth to a modern icon in Sadako, which has been repeated ever since (with the woman in white and long black hair) but arguably has never had the same impact on its audience.The Surgeons of Horror team now dissect this franchise in our latest podcast.

Ahead of the Friday the 13th: The Game release, Surgeons of Horror have dusted off our first ever podcast record covering the original movie.The 1980's would mark the rise of horror movies, particularly in the homes with the introduction of video rental stores.Leading the charge would be Friday the 13th, a little known film that with a small budget and with a production company that was willing to market nationwide.https://surgeonsofhorror.com/2016/05/13/friday-the-13th-1980/

With the power of the full moon, it’s time to bask in it’s cool glow in honour of all things lycanthropy with a monthly feature called the Full Moon Sessions.This month we launch with The Howling, based on a Gary Brandner novel of the same name and directed by Joe Dante who would spore a career out of creature features would initially turn heads with Piranha, a self-admitted Jaws rip-off.

Award winning writer, director has turned her attention to a new project, Devil Woman, a smart horror film that takes the viewer directly into the coal-face of human conflict over our relationship with the environment.The film draws from the world of zombies and shape-shifters, with the added flavour of Lee Douglas' penmanship that adds a unique voice in the horror genre.Devil Woman is currently looking for support through crowd-funding via pozible, so if this piques your interest, then head on over and contribute.​Want to know more? Well the Surgeons team recently had the opportunity to sit down with Heidi Lee Douglas to discuss this passion project.

Following the success of his film school feature Dark Star, which he collaborated with John Carpenter, Dan O'Bannon would team with his house mate, Ronald Shusett to create (arguably) the best and most iconic science fiction horror movie to date.

The seventh and last feature for our Wes Craven Season 1 discussion centres on his first sequel and with it a potential to start a franchise.

Invitation To Hell marks another entry into the TV movie world for Wes Craven.With all due respect to Craven, this certainly feels like a TV movie too.

As we continue with our podcast discussions – Wes Craven – The Early Years discussions, we now draw our attention to his fourth outing in the director’s chair.Swamp Thing would be the first non-Batman or Superman related live-action movie for DC and it would fall on the shoulders of Craven to turn this around.

Deadly Blessing is one of those movies that appear to have fallen completely off the radar.Craven himself has stated that whenever he mentioned this being one of his movies, he was met with blank stares.

Summer of Fear would be Wes Craven’s third film as director and his first outing into the television arena.

For his sophomore outing, Craven would explore similar ground to The Last House On The Left.This time, The Hills Have Eyes would see a whole family being besieged upon by a family of mutants in the remote mid-west of the United States.

The first movie in question is, The Last House On The Left, made in 1972 along with     fellow horror legend, Sean Cunningham (Friday the 13th) who was the films producer.
